2 Corinthians 11:25 states that Paul was on the bottom of the sea for a day and a night. How could he have lived?

Quite a difference. Jake Jones IV
Yes, Acts refers to an established church1, as does Galatians 12; though Gal 2:1 (NIV) does say "again" -


.
There is a big difference between being sent by revelation of Jesus Christ (Galatians), and being the lackey of the Antioch church.

Who established the churches in Galatia?

Dear Jake,
Quote:

Probably Paul was meaning he survived in deep water, not at the bottom of it.

From my perspective and study, for the next 2 points:
Quote:

On that one, Paul was lying because I have reason to think Paul invented any revelation. That does not mean the Acts version (about why he went to Jerusalem) is true either. I think Gal 2:2b & 2:4 give a better indication.
Note: "Luke" put the "council of Jerusalem between the first & second journey; but according to Paul, it was between the 2nd and 3rd journey (52). I trust Paul on that one because "Luke" had huge motives for changing the time.

Paul, in the winter of 52-53.

Cordially, Bernard

Not sure any of the claims in any of it is factual, thus all of it is of dubious historical significance.

You trust a Liar?? You trust a person who is involved in open perjury?? You trust an admitted Liar?? You trust Paul!! This is most remarkable.

How did a liar manage to get his writings Canonised??

Nobody knew he was lying because no-one saw or read his letters to Churches up to at least 62 CE when Festus was procurator of Judea.

The Pauline lies were invented very long after c 62 CE.

I am referring to the earliest CANONIZED story of Jesus in Existing Codices.

gMark in the Sinaiticus Codex is considered the earliest complete version.

P 45 is not a complete version--many chapters are missing.

How preposterous to accept these claims uncritically in terms of content and context.
Origen is suggesting there were first Mark and Matthew, and then Paul, and then Luke, and then John. Never even hinting at the contextual problems staring us in the face.
Of course this Origen might also simply be hinting at how the imperially-sponsored scribes put everything together for the set known as a canon......
If gLuke was written before Paul was born or known why would it mention his name??

Origen claimed Paul was aware of the Gospel of gLuke--not that gLuke mentioned Paul.

Are you not aware of gLuke?

gLuke does NOT mention Duvduv.

Do you accept in all particulars the textual variants found in the gospel of Mark in Codex Sinaiticus as original? Be prepared to defend your answer.

Yet P45 is older than Sinaiticus. Just because Sinaiticus is complete doesn't mean it isn't chock full of scribal errors.
