Says who?
The historians like Bart Ehrman:
Quote:No original of the letter is known to survive. The earliest reasonably complete version available to scholars today dates to approximately 200 AD, approximately 150 years after the original was presumably drafted.
So what? Scholars don't dismiss fragments. There is a general scholarly consensus that the epistles of Paul were composed early on, in the 50s.
Quote:A majority of scholars agree that Galatians was written between the late 40s and early 50s.[5] although some date the original composition to c. 50–60 AD.hmn, theres that phrase again......
Exactly my point. "Majority of scholars" does that not mean anything to you?
Quote:Assuming that any of this happened, at all..sounds alot like three partners in a business discussing marketing, to me.
Your opinion doesn't count. I trust the qualified historians like Ehrman and Dale B. Martin.
Quote:Another interesting question..why is it that all of the people who supposedly knew "jesus" or knew a guy who knew a guy who knew "jesus" can't get on the same page about him..anyway, eh?
That's how humans are, that's how history is. It's never a neat tidy package. If it was all invented it would be.
