Paul's "persecution" of the early Christians?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

While we all have our faults the only one being stupid on this thread is you.  You believe in an ancient ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish deity named Yahweh and in an imaginary Jewish zombie with the alias of Jesus who will save your soul and give you eternal life.  You're nuts. 

Prove I'm wrong in my knowledge of God and that my salvation through Jesus is not real.

The talking snake or serpent in the story was the Egyptian pharaoh. Noah's flood is a war story, most likely about the Egyptian invasion and conquest of the Levant area.  Moses' exodus is about the Egyptian withdrawal from the Levant.  The biblical God character was simply the series of crazy men who ruled the dominant empire in the ancient Middle East and kept the Hebrews under their thumbs.  The last one bit the dust around 530 B.C. with the collapse of the Babylonian Empire.  He is never, ever, coming back. 

You have enlightened the biblical scholars about these events and how about the history scholars I'm sure they would rewrite history with this new found evidence.

The Saul/Paul created the Jesus character as a way to sell his resurrection religion.  He even said that it was bull shit.  Later writers wrote prequels (the Gospels) to show why the Jesus character should be worshiped as a deity.  They also included some political acts by the three main rebels and wrote them as religious stories involving Paul's Jesus character. 

You ever consider writing mystery novels, because no one would be able to figure out what you were doing, it would be a true mystery. 

While there may have been various scraps of manuscripts floating around the area the Bible didn't exist in any form until a committee of story tellers, writers, and artists produced three master copies in Latin in the 690s to counter Uthman's Koran from the 640s.  Christianity existed from the First Century but it didn't have an unified written fairy tale until the 690s.

We have copies of a book that dates back to 300 BC and they show that hardly a word was changed even into modern times. We accept that the writings of Shakespeare, that is the copies are the same as written by someone that is said to be Shakespeare, but there's no proof that a man named Shakespeare wrote those works.

Please read your favorite religious fairy tale at least once in your life.

2 Maccabees 15:38-39 (CEB) = "38 If the story was told effectively, this is what I wanted. But if it was told in a poor and mediocre fashion, this was the best I could do. 39 Just as it is harmful to drink wine or water alone while wine mixed with water is delightful and produces joy, so also may the writing of this story delight the ears of those who encounter this work.

The end."

Titus 1:14 (CEV) = "Don’t pay any attention to any of those senseless Jewish stories and human commands. These are made up by people who won’t obey the truth."

And speaking of Paul and his bull shit, have any of your dead relatives paid you a visit lately?

"1 Corinthians 15:12-19 (CEV) = 12 If we preach that Christ was raised from death, how can some of you say that the dead will not be raised to life? 13 If they won’t be raised to life, Christ himself wasn’t raised to life. 14 And if Christ wasn’t raised to life, our message is worthless, and so is your faith. 15 If the dead won’t be raised to life, we have told lies about God by saying that he raised Christ to life, when he really did not.
16 So if the dead won’t be raised to life, Christ wasn’t raised to life. 17 Unless Christ was raised to life, your faith is useless, and you are still living in your sins. 18 And those people who died after putting their faith in him are completely lost. 19 If our hope in Christ is good only for this life, we are worse off than anyone else."
