We know that this captivity is part of why and how "pagan" mythology became a part of the mytholgy of judea-christian religion. Wasn't done, there, either, muslims had to write their sequel and incorporate their own pagan mythologies.
"Paul", btw, didn't know shit about a historical jesus. He saw a vision of a christ on a road. He received his gospel from no man...member? Or is that part not in your magic book?
Explain how Assyrian mythology became part of the mythology of "Judeo-Christian" religion.
Paul didn't meet Jesus, but he knew Jesus's disciples and even his brother James.
Paul even disagreed with those disciples, especially Peter, over issues like circumcision and eating with Gentiles.
Now if all these guys just invented Jesus why were they never on the same page?
