7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

8 And LAST of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
Now, if Jesus Christ did not exist, the writer's revelations would be a hoax. If Jesus Christ was just a man, the revelations would be of the same fiction.

The revelations of the writer called Paul are only true if Jesus did exist as the offspring of the Holy Ghost, the son of God, resurrected and ascended to heaven.

It is not true that there could have been an offspring of the Holy Ghost, born without sexual union, son of God, resurrected and to heaven.

The revelations of the writer called Paul did NOT come from Jesus Christ of the NT.

The revelations are from the Jesus stories. The writer claimed he was last.

Paul's lies knot him up.
Cheer up. I don’t have you on ignore. You're not crazy. I understand you completely. I agree. Paul is a fictitious character. His ‘writings’ are a hoax and probably the product of several authors.

For a good laugh compare 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 with Galatians 1:11-12

I think that’s just hilarious.

I just repeat the crazy stuff in the NT and church writings. I must admit that the writer Paul, although a liar and a fraud, may have been[ mad beyond belief.

By the way, no-one really has me on "ignore," they are watching me like hawks patiently waiting for me to make some blunder.

But they will have to wait and wait and wait.

It is all over. I have all the supportimg information, now.

Jesus was a fictional character and the writer Paul was a fraud, a liar and was involved in the scheme to distort the true history of Jesus believers.

I don't suppose that means you'll go away now and stop bothering us?

I agree. Pauls agenda was not to promote or advance the teachings of Jesus it was to promote his own brand of religion "Christianity".

But there was no real Jesus. Everything about Jesus of the NT was fabricated. All the authors of the NT were really supporing their own fabricated brand.

And how could the letter writer Paul have acted alone?

There must have been collusion with the Church.

The letters with the fictional first century character called Paul are FROM the Church TO the Jews.

The fictional first century character Paul did NOT address any real Pagan issues in any of his letters at all.

Look at a writer, Clement of Alexandria, who dealt with pagan issues in his writing with his "Exhortation to the Heathen."

Exhortation to the Heathen 2

Quote:
..And what if I go over the mysteries? I will not divulge them in mockery, as they say Alcibiades did, but I will expose right well by the word of truth the sorcery hidden in them; and those so-called gods of yours, whose are the mystic rites, I shall display, as it were, on the stage of life, to the spectators of truth.

The bacchanals hold their orgies in honour of the frenzied Dionysus, celebrating their sacred frenzy by the eating of raw flesh, and go through the distribution of the parts of butchered victims, crowned with snakes, shrieking out the name of that Eva by whom error came into the world. The symbol of the Bacchic orgies is a consecrated serpent.

Moreover, according to the strict interpretation of the Hebrew term, the name Hevia, aspirated, signifies a female serpent...

There is just virtually nothing from the fictional first century writer called Paul about the pagan beliefs, the pagan gods or the pagan writers of the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, Thesallonians or the Phillipians.

Nothing to match or compare to the vast amount of information about Paganism supplied by Clement can be found anywhere in the first century fiction called the letters to the churches by a writer called Paul.

However "Paul" did write about the Mosaic Laws and circumcision. It must be obvious he was writing to the Jews.

Paul was a fraud. He wrote to the Jews and falsely claimed he wrote to Gentiles.

I do not know. You can find numerous sites that says he did and numerous ones that says he did not. I agree the NT authors were just supporting their own brand of fanaticism and may have had no interest at all in Jesus himself. Its sad really the way Paul went out, beheaded in Rome around mid 60AD was not left to suffer as his supposed Messiah did...

Paul was executed? In which century? And more than one person, based on Scholars, used the name Paul to write letters.

I don't think it was the fraud who was executed since the story of Paul's execution was also fictional.

The writer Paul may have been reading from Acts of Apotles when he was supposed to be dead already.

The letter writer called Paul is a liar, a fraud and part of the scheme to distort the true history of Jesus believers.

The letters of "Paul" are at the beginning supposedly written to Gentiles or Pagans but when examined the letters fundamentally only addressed Jewish traditional beliefs, there is virtually nothing about paganism.

The letter writer in the NT was supposed to be some kind of evangelist to the ROMAN EMPIRE yet when his letters are EXAMINED the letter writer appeared to have ONLY tried to evangelise the Jews.

The letter writer quoted hundreds of passages from the Hebrew Bible and virtually nothing from a pagan writer.

He made references to passages in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deutoronomy, the books of Samuels, Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Malachi, Josiah, Habakuk, Hosea, Joel, Psalms, Job and other Hebrew scriptures.

It would appear that the letter readers are all Jews and familiar only with Jewish scriptures and tradition.

There is virtually nothing from a pagan writer or pagan beliefs and tradition.

Now, look at the writing of Athenagoras in his "Plea for the Christian" to a Pagan, the Roman Emperor.

Athenagoras immediately dealt with issues concerning Paganism in his letter.


A "Plea for the Christians"
Quote:
To the Emperors Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, conquerors of Armenia and Sarmatia, and more than all, philosophers.


In your empire, greatest of sovereigns, different nations have different customs and laws; and no one is hindered by law or fear of punishment from following his ancestral usages, however ridiculous these may be.

A citizen of Ilium calls Hector a god, and pays divine honours to Helen, taking her for Adrasteia. The Lacedæmonian venerates Agamemnon as Zeus, and Phylonoë the daughter of Tyndarus; and the man of Tenedos worships Tennes.

The Athenian sacrifices to Erechtheus as Poseidon. The Athenians also perform religious rites and celebrate mysteries in honour of Agraulus and Pandrosus, women who were deemed guilty of impiety for opening the box. In short, among every nation and people, men offer whatever sacrifices and celebrate whatever mysteries they please.

The Egyptians reckon among their gods even cats, and crocodiles, and serpents, and asps, and dogs.

And to all these both you and the laws give permission so to act, deeming, on the one hand, that to believe in no god at all is impious and wicked, and on the other, that it is necessary for each man to worship the gods he prefers, in order that through fear of the deity, men may be kept from wrong-doing......
There is nothing in any letter from the writer called Paul to compare or provide any information about Paganism as found in the letter of Athenagoras.

But, there is information about Mosaic Laws, and circumcision, nothing about Zeus.

The writer Paul only wrote to the Jews.

Paul is a fraud and a liar.

The Nazerim and Ebonites, also Jewish, who revered Jesus - but not as per Saul's writings, and who expelled him from Jerusalem, were also killed off by the neo christians which sprung up in Europe.

Rome's decree of divine man thus became the basis for the new church, allowing it to eventually rule Rome and Europe -replacing crucifixion with the rake, expulsion, pogroms, genocdes and a Holocaust - superceding brutal Rome by the futherest margins imaginable. All of today's christians' ancesters were forcefully converted or killed off. The only group who survived Europe [barely] were the hated Jews - a mystery of biblical proportions.
