But, as I posted several weeks or so ago, Travis Walton claimed to have been abubcted by space aliens and his co-workers all claimed with him to have seen the space ship. Paul almost certainly suffered from epilepsy, as did some of the early Christians (as do some of our day), and he and these others likely combined and embellished their accounts after the fact, which copiests further embellished decades afterward.
And the question stil. Is how did you come to that conclusion?
You're suddenly less confident in the majority position of biblical scholarship? Or are you questioning the epilepsy comments towards the end? I always find that one amusing, myself. It's only a thing because people try to explain why a person might see or experience whats contained within magic book. Paul didn't have epileptic seizures. There was no Paul. He didn't see shit. That's just another part of the story.
