(August 27, 2013 at 5:32 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: Actually no the first letters written by Saint Paul were written around 50 AD and there was already a Jewish/Christian community established there. Non-Christian sources don't try to deny that Jesus ever existed either they just claim that he was a charlatan and black magic user. You can say he existed but deny him as a fool if you like you have that option certainly.
Once again, parroting the story that the church puts out wins you no points in my book. "Paul" seems to be no more real than any of your other jesus shit. Justin Martyr, writing in the mid 2d century, never heard of him. Nor did he hear of mark, luke, john, and matty.
I know you oh-so-desperately want to believe in bullshit but there are enough holes in the paul tale to drive a truck through.
Don't be like Drippy. He's a hopeless fool.
