So basically...Jesus taught Judaism but Paul deified Jesus and created a new religion called Christianity ?

Question

It makes sense now........ he added pagan ideas to make HIS new religion popular amongst the gentiles.

Answer 1

Might want to read the book again. Paul taught the word of God. Jesus is the word of God same message as was handed down to Moses.

Edit to those who subscribe to this silliness...How is it you say Paul persecuted Christians and yet say Paul created Christianity?

Answer 2

Jesus fulfilled the Jewish Law and the prophecies.
Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. The Jewish people were looking for deliverance from the Roman government but Jesus came to bring deliverance from sin.

Paul was a devote and zealous follower of Judaism and even persecuted the followers of Jesus until Jesus appeared to him when Paul was on the road to Damascus. Paul then believed and followed the Way of Jesus. He honored Jesus by learning of Him and teaching about Him. His love and devotion to Jesus was unquestionable.

Answer 3

There is no historical evidence that Jesus even existed, considering his life story is just a word for word copy of Mithra's. Which makes sense considering the Roman legions were worshipping Mithra at the time.

Answer 4

My church, alongside with many others like jap Orthodox, prepare Jesus' teachings and not Paul's. So no longer all of Christianity is Paulinity, Jesus' teachings are being observed by ability of the few and lots between.

Answer 5

Ok, I get it. Thank you for your opinion.
Basically...Jesus taught Buddism, so the Jewish leaders wanted him killed. Just because at that time they are in occupy by the roman and worry about their stability, new religion introduced may lead to loss their political power.
Jesus died too fast so he did not establish the buddism discipline yet and his disciple still teach his already teaching and wait him come back to teach them the remaining teaching again.
200 years later Saul who come from rabbi society need to eliminate the remaining Jesus disciple but while his travel, he pop up some idea that can eliminate them with out violent.
So he go to be the one of Jesus follower by claim that he see Jesus come to met him and he distort the Jesus teaching combine it with another Jewish teaching and deified Jesus as his god. the result is early day Christianity before it spread to roman empire and had been mixed with the pagan god and culture repeatedly.

Answer 6

You got it - Jesus was a convenient skeleton that Paul dressed and sold as xianity - the chosen few have been making a bundle from it ever since.
The best sting of all time and the gullible keep lapping up Bronze Age superstitious myths as though they were factual reports.
There's good money to be made fro religion IF you can keep a straight face.

Answer 7

Actually, Jesus deified Himself.

Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I AM: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. :63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? :64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:...

John 8:19 Then they said unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 20 These words spake Jesus in the treasurey, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

John 8:24, "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.

Answer 8

Yet strangely enough, Jesus called Paul his chosen vessel:

Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

Paul bashing is nothing new, Peter wrote about it nearly 2,000 years ago:

2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Answer 9

even pastors know that

jesus did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfil it. Jesus was not a christian, there is no red letter text of him claiming to be god or dying for our sins. Jesus was a Jewish Rabbai, a teacher of the law. Paul was a christian, the first christian, and may I add, paul never met Jesus in person and was never a disciple but he wrote more than half of the new testament more than 2 decades after jesus died by crucifixion by pilates decree after an accusation from the other jewish rabbai's (paul once claimed to have imagined jesus in a vision, too bad jesus never heard of him or met him before, the bright flash of light blinded him (the flash was jesus if you believe him)

Answer 10

WHERE did you get that?

Jesus came to fulfill the Gospel as the Christ
Paul met Christ on the Damascus Road that began His ministry

Have you ever read the book or are you making it up as you go to get a rise?
