(February 14, 2011 at 10:19 pm)DeistPaladin Wrote: Paul references two things about "the Christ" (I don't even think he mentions Jesus by name but I could be wrong, I'll flip through his epistles again sometime soon):

1. His death and resurrection
2. The last supper "take and eat" quote.

Both concept, dying-and-rising savior and the Eucharist, both appear in pagan myths.

You are right in the epistles Paul only mentions those two things about Jesus you describe. However the epistles were written for a very specific purpose.
