The original Jesus, the Jewish one of Scriptures, sent by the Jewish God in fulfillment of Jewish Law and Jewish prophecy, to the Jewish people, to preach a perfected form of Judaism, assisted by 12 Jewish disciples, and conducting His ministry in the Jewish lands,
-or-
the refurbished, rewritten, revised and reimagined Jesus, the Christian version the Apostle Paul felt was a little easier to sell to the masses ?
