I hope you realize my gripe was with organized religion and not Paul or Jesus...I guess I came back with my response in the wrong way...
I am very sorry and thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.

As you can see it is hard to interpret the written word unless you know the "spirit" from which the person speaks, and it seems I am guilty of that now, but its all good my friend, sorry I got you wrong, and it is a breath of fresh air to have you join in on this discussion. This is what I have learned, if the way we are interpreting the bible doesn't feel 100% right to you, it isn't, I didn't understand Paul's epistles until I realized he was a smartass, until I did it did seem contradictory, but when I knew the spirit from which he spake it all made sense and nothing was contradictory anymore. Once I "got" him he is actually pretty funny.
And we can be just as wise as Christ if we choose to be, like Paul said "we have the same mind as Christ" so if we want to know what he knew all we have to do is have a strong desire to know what he knew and seek it with your whole heart and soul until it all makes sense.
