    The Influ­ence of the Pauline Epis­tles Upon The Gospels of The New Testament

    Christians believe that Paul of Tarsus is the 'Apostle' of Jesus(P), whom he met in a vision on his journey to Damascus. Paul is also claimed to be the author of the Epistles to the Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon and…

    We read the fol­low­ing teach­ings of the so-called ​“apos­tle” from Tar­sus, Paul, writ­ten in his epis­tles as follows : If pos­si­ble, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Nev­er take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is writ­ten, ​“Vengeance is Mine, I will…
