Quote:Wasn't 'Paul' actually Simon Magus?
Oh,I hadn't heard that before.Evidence?
I HAVE heard that (1)The Epistles seem to have been written by at least two different hands (2) Several of the Epistles are in fact forgeries. (3) an increasing number of scholars are positing that Saul/Paul never existed.

I just Googled "Was st Paul Simon Magnus?" There are a LOT of people who think so. Some argue that Peter was Simon Magus,or that Paul was Simon Magus AND the fist Pope.
The stuff I looked at reads like pure crackpottery.
I would love to see something written by an actual [secular]scholar,not obviously biases or nuts.
