What Paul says about Peter tells us more about Paul than about Peter
Baruch Spinoza


“바울이 베드로에 대해 말한 것은 베드로보다 바울 자신에 대해 더 많은 것을 말해 준다.”

조금 더 학술적으로 다듬으면:

“바울이 베드로에 관하여 한 언급은 베드로 자체보다도 오히려 바울 자신의 인식과 입장을 더 잘 드러낸다.”

Who Was Spinoza and Why Should We Care? – Curiosity University

Spinoza rejected the notion of an anthropomorphic, providential God; he argued that miracles are impossible; he demonstrated that the Bible is simply a work of human literature, and he showed that the belief in an afterlife where immortal souls are rewarded or punished is a pernicious superstitious fiction.


스피노자는 인간과 같은 모습을 지니고 섭리적으로 개입하는 신이라는 개념을 거부했으며, 기적은 불가능하다고 주장했다. 또한 그는 성서는 단지 인간이 쓴 문학 작품일 뿐임을 논증했고, 불멸의 영혼이 사후 세계에서 보상이나 처벌을 받는다는 믿음은 해로운 미신적 허구임을 밝혀냈다.


What Paul says about Peter tells us more about Paul than about Peter." - Baruch Spinoza


This is actually a fascinating point for those familiar with scripture. Both men wrote several books of the New Testament, and Paul thoroughly documented every episode of his disagreements with Peter.

Peter didn't write a damn thing about Paul.


Could you elaborate more? Sounds interesting


This is incorrect. Peter calls Paul's writings scripture (I.e. inspired by God).

" And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. "

2 Peter 3:15-16 KJV



Sounds like a Mike Brady quote.

Jan, a real friend likes you for who you are, not what's on your face. If you judge your friends for passing judgment on you, you're not only judging yourself you're judging your friends for judging you. And that would be using bad judgment.
