Hi Miguel,

"I am not sure that Eva is trying to dump all of Paul's writings,
I am certainly not ready to do that. In fact, I think many people who want to pick and choose sections from Paul make a serious mistake."
I don't know how you came to that conclusion, unless you didn't read all of Eva's posts or any of my posts to her. Please go back and read my posts, which contain direct quotes made by Eva. She not only refers to Apostle Paul as the leader of a fundamentalist cult, but she makes it quite clear that she reject *anything* written by Paul, which is the majority of the New Testament.
It isn't just a case of pick and choose with her...she has plainly stated that she rejects all of his epistles. Please go back and read the quotes I collected in my responses to her messages.
In my latest post titled "To Eva: The heart of the matter," I quote her statement where she goes even farther than just rejecting the epistles of Paul. She asserts that the entire Bible is completely unneeded, which is in my opinion, a very risky position to embrace, and one that would make a cult leader's attempts at deceiving people much easier. Take a look at what Berg wrote regarding how much easier it was to get TF members who didn't know the scriptures to happily swallow whatever he taught them.
