Because they enjoy not feeling responsible. That’s why it was so easy for Saul to trick Christians back into Old Testament idolatry by changing one letter in his name. He knows how much people crave a scapegoat and a savior. Not willing to look for the kingdom of heaven within themselves as Jesus hoped they would.
I’ve heard Paul’s teachings used 10 times to renounce the Old Testament in full to every 0 times I’ve heard them used to bring people back into idolatry - though I’m not positive what that word is intended to mean in this case.
Care to expound on that?
As far as changing names, there are almost no biblically accurate names in most translations. I doubt Paul did that.
You would need a complete paradigm shift to even feel comfortable considering the answer I would give to this question, and I’m not interested in arguing with an audience present. Feel free to PM me if you want a real discussion on the matter.

Is it a gnostic paradigm? I don’t know how to PM.
I don’t know if it would qualify as gnostic or not. Might depend on your definition of gnostic. You can pm by clicking on my name.
