If Paul had not busied himself with turning Jesus' inspiring message "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you!"--meaning it is within you NOW--into an ascetic message of long-drawn war against the carnal body; if he had listened better and learned more from that flash which lighted his road to Damascus, instead of returning to the bias and prejudice of his innate nature, he might have given history a higher, less Judaic, version of Christianity.
