Most importantly, did we acquire a well-rounded knowledge of Paul's Gospel? Secondly, were we faithful in making the Mystery known and did we apply the grace of God to our lives? Thirdly, did we apply the whole council of God in light of Paul's revelations?
I notice you mention Paul here twice in the 3 important things Christians must do but I don't understand why. The major conflicts between Islam and Christianity stem from Paul's teachings.
Paul abolished the Mosaic Laws which had been in effect even shortly after Jesus's departure; he is responsible for the resurrection/ascension of Jesus (Remember, Jesus was raised from dead according to my gospel), etc. In Michael Hart's "The Most Influential People in History," he places Paul 6th citing that a large majority of basic Christian beliefs are derived from Paul's teachings. The majority of the New Testament, as you know, are books of Paul (17 I believe).
Paul's influence on Christian theology has been incalculable. His ideas include the following: Jesus was not merely an inspired human prophet, but was actually divine. Christ died for our sins, and his suffering can redeem us. Man cannot achieve salvation by attempting to conform to biblical injunctions, but only by accepting Christ; conversely, if one accepts Christ, his sins will be forgiven. Paul also enunciated the doctrine of original sin (Romans 5:12-19).
Since obedience to the law alone cannot provide salvation, Paul insisted that there was no need for converts to Christianity to accept Jewish dietary restrictions, or to conform to the rituals of the Mosaic Code, or even to be circumcised. Several of the other early Christian Leaders disagreed strongly with Paul on this point, and if their views had prevailed, it seems doubtful that Christianity would have spread so rapidly throughout the Roman Empire.
Paul also had rather strong ideas on the proper status of women: "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, than Eve (I Timothy 2:11-13). Similar ideas are expressed perhaps even more forcefully in I Corinthians 11:7-9. Doubtless, in such passages Paul was expressing a view already held by men of his contemporaries; it is noteworthy, though, that Jesus does not appear to have made similar statements. - Michael Hart's "The 100 Most Influential Persons In History"
Let me inform you on the Muslim's stance towards The Bible. One of the articles of faith is to believe in the message that was sent to Jesus. Muslims believe in that Message but not in today's Bible. That is, Muslims believe that today's Bible in its entirety is not God sent. That God's words were mixed up with Man's words and that it was put together into "The Bible" which we know of today.
The Bible is composed of 66 books. No where does the Bible refer to itself. Those 66 books were never meant to be placed into One Book all together. It was the decision of a council which ultimately decided on the current formation of the Bible. In fact, earlier editions of the Bible are missing books that are in today's bible contain some books that aren't in today's Bible. The word "bible" comes from the word "Biblioteca" which means Library. The Bible literally means a "library of books."
So removing Paul from the equation, and Christianity looks more like Islam than anything else....... :-) Just some food for thought.
