Breifly, the NT betrays and mangles the Truth, re-demonstrating the truest genesis of this world, demonstrated enparody by "Christ" volunteering for crucifixion. The mangling of Truth [think: Christ, Creation] makes for a rediculous parody of Creation, a story told by an equally rediculous parody: The death of "Christ". Unless this is understood, the gospel is really meaningless, and powerless to save. The world is a dead Christ, asleep, dreaming of betrayal, guilt, exile, suffering, sacrifice, starvation, separation and the opposite of Life: death. None of which is true!
The triple denial of Peter is the first clue as to how the gospel got gobbled by guilts gloom. Denying he was with the Truth, Peter taught how to deny Christ. And this is how the crucifixion of Truth begins, giving genesis to earthly expressions of excellent excrement. Favoring favoritism, Peter posed for position in a neo-kingdom, along with several others, establishing authority by association. In this way, specialness betrays the gospel, heralding a heirarchal kingdom at the expense of the truth of one Lord, equally extended. The gospel is a "good-spell", reversing the effects of a "bad-spell" hypnotically whoring illusions of love upon threads of hypothetical hubris.
Mine was the announcement of equality. Theirs was the restructuring of heirarchy. This follows patriarchal patterns held precious to previous pedant's. The only way to pull this off is to interpret the cross as blood sacrifice for sins, Passover-style. Picking up on this particular passion of the Pharisee, Paul meets with Peter, handshaking upon a neo-Hebraic heirarchy, franchising the brand, and carving out territory for a nascent neo-Levitical priesthood for precious prizes. Today it is called "Judeo-Christianity", forcing the gospel of Christ to bow to banal books beloved of blue-blooded brethren bellowing bold bits of ballistic balderdash.
Only an unrelenting residual belief in guilt could induce anyone to remain hostage to the god-of-this-world, to its false witnesses, and endless accusations. Unable to serve two masters, the unlearned were unwilling to follow the Truth of innocence which, if left unmolested, would undo what is truly unbelievable: the anti-christ.
Guilt demands sacrifice and fear delivers it. As these "seeds" are mixed with the "seed" of Truth, a pop gospel emerges to magically emeliorate egregious egos irregardless of what eradicates them entirely. All this that many may remain special, chosen of God to rule a heirarchy of heavenly hosts, with hoardes in hell, cursed for questioning the positioning of the "stars" of the side-show.
Previous to pandering to Peter, Paul persecuted the posterity of Stephen, among a small number of deciples who understood equality, innocence, and the difference between the god-of-this-world and *Our Father*. Perpetuating oppression, Paul produced a proposition prepared purposefully and presented presumptuously by a pre-programmed "Jesus", justifying Judaic jaunts around Hellenic haunts, heaving high-browed brimstone between bouts of beguiling bullsh*t, borrowed off the buried body of Stephen's stunning stylings, stolen so Saul could sell a sordid selection of super sounding stories of salvation by sacrifice. The rest is his story, reinterpreted today toward salvations glory.
