Isnt Christianity Pauls religion he made up as the "gentile" version of the message of Jesus ?

Answer 1

Paul is likely the the founder of Christianity, there was no version written before his.

Answer 2

Good Question, short answer "no". Jesus came to 'seek and save the lost', as saviour for ALL mankind (not just Jew, Pharisee, etc), there's examples of Him interacting with Gentiles and Women as equals. Jesus set the tone for the future, Paul was called to spread it. You must understand that Paul was the Jew of the Jews, the head Pharisee. To say that he 'made up' gentile Christianity is nonsensical, it doesn't fit with history or rational deduction. Jesus welcomed ALL, Paul extended that invitation.
Hope that helps

Yes. Jesus didn't preach the Saviour theory, the trinity, or not having to follow the OT and the Commandments. It's all Paul "
I am not sure what your sources are, Jesus explicitly said thast He could not undo a single letter of the law, He also taught that He was 'the doctor for the ill' that He had come to save! As for "it's all Paul", I'm not so sure that's an accurate appraisal, the acceptance of the trinity as doctrine came 300 years after Jesus, well outside Pauls lifespan.

Answer 4

Jesus himself taught the gentiles. Paul did nothing different.
Since Paul was beheaded for his efforts, stoned, and taken prisoner, I think he probably was convinced of what he was doing and following in his master's example was right.

Answer 5

No. You think just maybe Christ knew what Paul would teach since He personally called him?

Answer 6

I'll semi quote Maynard James Keenan here.

Jesus message was a good one, it was his agents that screwed it up.

Answer 7
