I seem to have missed Jake's original post, but I think Frank wrote quoting

Chris (for ... well, you think of something! q:-)

It would be a gross breach of netiquette to promote a particular belief or
doctrine on this list.

However I will just say that Swedenborg was not the only one to write
"contra Paulus" in this way, Todd-Ferrier and Holmes-Gore were others. If
Jacob, Frank, or any others would like some references please write to me
off list. My address is chrisc AT powercall.co.uk 

Could we all have some guidance from the list moderators as to how far we
can take the thread 'on list' discussing differences between the Jerusalem
Church's teachings *of* Jesus and Paul's teachings *about* Jesus? 

Many thanks

Chris
