In response to my question about Paul, I got:
"One of the accusations that have come from the anti-Christian camp lately is that Paul "invented" his own version of Christianity.
There's no base to that, the accusation is groundless.
You see, if they can cause doubt among the Christians regarding the doctrine of inspiration of scripture, then they have a wedge in to make you falter."
I'm not trying to make anyone falter, I'm trying to help people think. To just think about it, with the brain God gave you.
For one, there is evidence against Paul's sincerity:
Hyam Maccoby, a Talmudic scholar believes there is little we can learn about Jesus from Paul's letters. He questions Paul's integrity as well:"Scholars", he says, "feel that, however objective their enquiry is supposed to be, .. never say anything to suggest that he may have bent the truth at times, though the evidence is strong enough in various parts of his life-story that he was not above deception when he felt it warrented.
