Or maybe it is because he has a much more difficult task,
showing why Judaism is better than paganism AND why the
widespread Jewish rejection of Jesus is wrong; showing
how the God-given law is now transcended or fulfilled;
showing how the New Age has dawned although it is not
obvious to most people; showing why one must participate
in the death of the Messiah in order to share in
his resurrection;
Paul has a more difficult task than these other teachers,
who end up looking so predictable in comparison. How
creative is Dio's thinking?
(Now I'm sure you'll tell me!)
