Discovering The Apostle Paul Teachings And Letters

By George Baker


Before one can understand the early days of Christianity, one must know how the faith was born. For many, Christianity begins with the religious and spiritual transformation found in The Apostle Paul Teachings and letters. While there are only a few actual letters of the apostle still available, those have detailed information regarding the life and times of the apostle and early Christianity.

Online resources related to Paul include, several papers and other materials which refer to the life and times of this apostle and others. For those who attend church or Sunday School, there are often classes and sermons related to the apostle on a regular basis. In addition, a number of university and public libraries host books, videos and other materials which are representative of Paul and the earliest days of Christianity.

For those who enjoy film and television, there are also a few different series related to the apostle. In most cases, these come in sets with a number of different volumes related to different apostles and areas of the Cristian faith. Although, there are some which compare and contrast Judaism and Christianity though a look at Paul and his early letters to the Church.

While the information can be quite varied, there are only a few actual letters in the archives. While this is the case, the fact that a few original letters, while difficult to read, are often considered proof of the apostle's existence on earth. Still, the letters do give insight to the fact that Paul actually had a vision which resulted in a spiritual transformation from one belief to another.

When desiring to learn as much as possible about these teachings, the Bible also holds a great deal of information. Various teachings related to Paul can be found in the books of First and Second Corinthians, First Thessalonians, Galatians, Romans, Philippians and Philemon. While this is the case, the teachings in these scriptures still do not provide proof in an actual living Christ, or the resurrection, crucifixion, or ascension.

Other artifacts, such as those found from the time of Moses and the Wilderness also provide proof in the existence of Moses; However, do not necessarily prove in the parting of the red sea or other activities associated with the time. For, as with Paul, these aspects are often those which must be accepted on faith, especially by those subscribing to the Christian faith.

Ultimately, each individual must find the truth that aligns with personal belief systems. Most often, these beliefs have been taught down through generations based on past family religious ties and beliefs. However, in some cases, there are those who set out on a spiritual journey to find one's own truth based on life experience.

For those subscribing to the Christian faith, this is often one related to Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Most beliefs in this regard are based on these early teachings of Paul that Jesus was born, died and rose again as proved by the visions and letters of the apostle. Whereas, the Holy Spirit is that which washes over and cleanses one of earthly sins once an individual becomes a believer and follows these and other related teachings.
