Christianity Didn't Even Start Until 20 Years After Jesus Died.

[Guest Eric Zuesse]

At www.ex-christian.net/index.php?showtopic=17462 is a discussion of a new theory of the start of Christianity, which can briefly be stated as follows:

 

Based upon the first-ever legal/forensic exegesis of Paul’s letter to the Galatians and an associated legal/forensic analysis of the four canonical Gospels, this work finds that Christianity started in or around the year 49 CE in Antioch (present-day Antakya, Turkey) as a direct consequence of a personal conflict which had arisen, over 17 years, between Paul and the leader of this (at that time) Jewish sect, which Jesus had begun. The sect’s leader was not Peter, as the Christian myth asserts, but was instead Jesus’s brother James. Peter was and remained a follower of James, and he died (as did the rest of the sect) as a member of this Jewish sect, not as a Christian—not as a member of the group which Paul started on this occasion. Jesus’s sect soon itself expired. What is today known as Christianity started with Paul, and was then developed by his followers, who wrote the canonical Gospels and the rest of the New Testament. The religion of the New Testament has nothing to do with the person of the historical Jesus: The NT was written and assembled to fulfill Paul’s Roman agenda, not Jesus’s Jewish one. This is shown to explain the entire myth.

 

Paul turned Jesus’s corpse into his dummy, and thus became the voice of “Christ.”
