Synopsis

People would be surprised to learn that many TV preachers are wrong about their own Bible. Jesus didn’t teach the core doctrines and mean-spirited dogmas they promote. Those were taught by Paul the Apostle, who never met Jesus. This provocative book, which could attract attention from both sides of the aisle, provides an easy way to beat dogmatists at their own game. WARNING: Don’t read Paul’s teachings on an empty stomach or before bedtime.
THE LIBERAL’S BIBLE GUIDE ~ God’s Message to Treehuggers, separates what it says Jesus said in the Bible from what others added. What Jesus really taught about love and peace is the type of thing that makes tyrants nervous. That’s why churches and governments have chosen instead the violent and depressing teachings of Paul, who wrote or influenced most of the New Testament. When he finally met some of Jesus’ actual disciples, he said, “They added nothing unto me.”
Jesus never mentioned Adam and Eve. It was Paul who taught that mankind is fallen and born in sin. He taught that slaves should obey their masters, women obey their husbands, and all should obey authority. He preached lifelong celibacy, even for married couples. He started the Divine Right of Kings, excommunication, and the Inquisition. He wrote that idolaters are worthy of death and that the Jews’ mouths must be stopped, giving free rein to indigenous genocide and the Holocaust.
This book is a handy tool for the amusing hobby of dogma-bashing. The scriptures with their reference numbers are humorously rearranged into categories that show exactly who said what. The main points are in bold capital letters, and the table of contents is a key of the information. Material can be skimmed, providing easy access for negotiating encounters with street evangelists. Some of the tongue-in-cheek Elizabethan titles are funny, but many ideologues won’t be laughing. This book is a powerful resource to defeat inflexible dogmas and prophecies of doom that have brought death and destruction to us since the ink on them was dry.
