My 1st thread / Apostolic Language?

[shag]

So the million dollar question is; Why did the monotheistic apostle Paul (and others) go to such an extent of at least "grammatical distinction" between God the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, as often as he did?(ex; 1st page).(For that matter, why did he not pin the name Jesus to the title "Father", as he did with the title "Son"?)

And I still wonder what the thought reaction would be at a big Church meeting if some stranger opened up talking the way Paul did. Why not skip the distinction and just say "Jesus", Paul? ("wink")

Personally I think that their writings are in a much more formal style than we practice now days. Look at many things from 200 plus years back and you see a different format and more formal style. They refer to themselves in a third person, they use titles galore, all sorts of silly things that we look at as formal and for the most part obsolete in our society. Just my humble opinion.
