It's not fallacious or whataboutism, to point out hypocrisy. The error is when you try to justify your position by using the others hypocrisy. Hypocrisy, only shows that they cannot be correct in both instances. It doesn't speak to which position is right or just. Besides this was more of a me too moment!
You lost your argument about Paul, and then tried to change topic. Do you think people didnt notice?
Actually someone else changed the topic, I commented on that. But if you would like to get back on topic, I’m still curious about what “if theist only understood evidence”.
And if you want to talk about Paul you can create a thread for that. If you want me to hop when you say jump.... you may be disappointed.

I have pointed out scholarly consensus before, but it is mostly about their reasons for doing so. I'm not against scholarly opinion at all, they spend a lot more time on things giving them the knowledge, and ability to organize information better then I can. However, if they don't give any reason for their claims, I'm a little skeptical. I don't think that they have a magical ability to peer into the past, sometimes they are wrong, and sometimes bias can cloud their judgement. So I ask why?
I don't believe Paul, as can be gleaned from those letters that have been deemed to be authentic. If you want to believe him, go right ahead. I think that he was a dishonest man with mental health issues.
And, so, I am done with this thread. Until next time...
Ok... but you seem to have given me nothing more than feelings.
