No wthats all a matter of perspective isnt it.
the jewish government in place fell, and was never seen again.
A new government had taken over with its own form of worship and theology thats stil in place today based on the Pharisees.
It was in fact crumbling in jesus time, and fell during the temple and rebuilt by the Pharisees.
Give me some scholars, or historians who agree with that. I do prefer actual scholars/historians, and books or journals.
The split started in jesus time though and that is the real point. A sect of judaism started traveling away from judaism due to roman corruption.
No, what we have is just one more group of Jews. It was just one more sect of Jews. They did not try to split off from Judaism. And they certainly weren't the only sect of Jews who distanced themselves from the Temple. But they remained a part of Judaism. Simply there is no sign that Judaism was crumbling. It may have been changing to a point, but that really was all.
False
Paul started christianity, not jesus
jesus started a division in judaism, Paul is the one who started mythical christ.
Paul didnt know jesus or the early church at all !!!! when he made his conversion.
For some reason a head hunter for the Sadducees while on a quest to murder more of this radical sect, MAGICALLY gains all of this knowledge on jesus and becomes a follower by the time he hits Damascus and is awaiting new directions from the lord's followers.
Paul created christianity not based on teachings from jesus or disciples but by imagination from his own accounts.
Actually, it is true. Paul didn't create Christianity. That is nothing more that ancient polemic that is based on poor research and biases. Paul was not a Christian. Christianity did not exist, nor do we even hear about it, until after Paul is dead. During the time of Paul, they weren't even called Christians. So no, Paul did not create Christianity. According to Paul, and any other source, Paul was a Jew.
Paul did not create a mythical Christ. Everything was there in place when Paul started. We can be fairly certain that what the Jerusalem church was teaching about Jesus was similar to what Paul was teaching. And the focus was on the risen Jesus. That was the common idea. And no, Jesus didn't start a division. He, like many other Jews, was participating within interJewish dialogue. That was extremely common back then. He may have been responsible for a new sect, but that hardly is creating a division.
And yes, Paul knew the early church. To suggest otherwise is simply foolish. If he didn't know the early church, who was he persecuting? And who did he later speak to?
There is no suggestion Paul murdered anyone, or that Paul was a head hunter for the Sadducees. If you want to continue claiming such, put up some sources.
You're theory about Paul is just as bad as the Jesus myth people. There similarity being that neither rest on any serious scholarship, are extremely biased, and only show a blind prejudice, as well as a complete ignorance on the subject. Now, if I'm wrong, put up some scholars or historians who agree with you. And when I say that, I mean in this century. Preferably in the latter half of this century. As in, nothing extremely outdated.
