Definition: In the Bible, "Anti-Pauline" refers to a person or group who opposes Paul (the apostle) in his teachings or works. It can refer to their adherence to one set of beliefs over another, opposition to orthodox beliefs, or even an identity that is not aligned with what we normally consider good Christian values. The word has historical and spiritual significance due to the way it's used today in the context of Christianity. For example, Paul was initially known as a champion for freedom from Judaism's strict customs, but later became anti-Jewish and preached about Israel being God's chosen people under Christ. In some modern contexts, "Anti-Pauline" can be seen as a critique or opposition to a particular form of theology or practice, particularly within the Christian church.
