Okay christfags isnt it entirely possible that Paul the apostle who used to be Saul of Tarsus the son of a Pharisee, and a Pharisee himself most like falsified Jesus' true doctrine?
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Matthew 23:15
Matthew was a 1st-century Galilean (presumably born in Galilee, which was not part of Judea or the Roman Iudaea province), the son of Alpheus. As a tax collector he would have been literate in Aramaic and Greek. His fellow Jews would have despised him for what was seen as collaborating with the Roman occupation force.
It seems so obvious that Saul being one of the pharisees who railed against jesus the most would co opt the movement and pretend to have gotten a divine message from jesus telling him he is forgiven and he needs to be a prominent leader now. Oh and P.S. change your name to Paul to fit in with the gentiles
Noah Jenkins
Even i that were the case, why would you listen to rabbi Jeshua ben Joseph?
Henry Rivera
If that were true the earliest Churches would have differing views on salvation. They don't.
Ryder Jones
Paul was not a tax collector, you're thinking of Matthew. Paul was a Rabbi.

So your contention is that this man gave his life to corrupt Christianity against Judaism, against what the Pharisees themselves believed? Fucking what? Why and for what purpose?
A Pharisee trying to corrupt Christianity would have joined the Judaizers instead of opposing them.
Daniel Cruz
Wouldnt paul have already established the views long before the churches?
Anthony Brooks
you're over thinking things user, just put the bible in the trash next to the koran and talmud
John Campbell
>What is the council of Nicea The churches who disagreed with core doctrine pre-325 AD were all killed or forced to assimilate.
They had not even decided on whether or not Jesus was a sacred figure, or just a philosopher.
Logan Turner
I said Matthew was a tax collector not Paul. I think the Pharisees may have wanted to inject their influence into the Church so that they can exact their revenge on the pagan conquerors who came and fucked their women and smashed their temples.
