If Paul the Apostle had worked in web3, he'd have been a Sufficiently Decentralized™ and Web 2.5™ guy.

Not enough is explained about how Paul helped reframe Christianity for the wider world.

Front toward enemy. @seyitaylor on twttr. 

The OG Apostles had wanted non-Jewish converts to Christianity to adhere to Jewish law AS WELL AS Christian doctrine, including asking adult males to get circumcised.

Paul knew that would be a death knell for their fledging movement. He fought to have joining requirements reduced to 3 simple rules.

Like I said, he'd have been a Sufficiently Decentralized™ dude. No point engaging in extreme purity tests when trying to build adoption.  

Happy holidays everyone! farcaster://casts/0xd26831d0a43b70d4387928e39285d2abb7ffcd720775e80b9091cb9f7ff82899/0xd26831d0a43b70d4387928e39285d2abb7ffcd720775e80b9091cb9f7ff82899

Paul had a bunch of advantages over the other Apostles.

1. he got an elite education — which helped him in successful rhetorical arguments 

2. he was a Roman citizen — making travel easier for him

3. he was a prolific creator — out-writing all the other Apostles
