An unanswerable question

[Wyrd of Gawd]

It pays to remember Paul's alleged history. At one time he was a bestiarius, fighting and killing animals in the arenas. Then he was a bounty hunter, tracking and killing members of The Way cult. When he was on his way to Damascus to hunt for some more he suffered heat stroke and had a hallucination about what became the Jesus character. After that he went to Arabia for about three years to develop his new religious doctrine. He then returned and converted the remnants of The Way cult to his new religion.

His disciples later wrote the Gospels to explain flesh out the Jesus character and to provide background information about him. The writers learned everything they knew about Jesus from Paul, who had created him.

Paul was no different from other guys who started religious movements, such as Martin Luther, Charles Taze Russell, Thomas Campbell, Joseph Smith, Uthman, and L. Ron Hubbard. They think they have the answer straight from God.

Where did you get this history of the life of Paul? From a comic book?

Paul's history is primarily detailed in Acts and in Galatians. Feel free to read it yourself and draw your own conclusions. That's what I did and I'm comfortable with my analysis.

The whole reason the law was instituted was to bring people to Christ. Nobody could live according the whole law until Christ came and fufilled all the requirements of it.

Doesn't that mean that the law was written by god, for god? Why burden humanity with something he knew they could not accomplish?

You do realize that the New Testament contains hundreds more commandments than the Old Testament? The writers were like American legislators. They thought that if they had enough rules it would eliminate all of the problems.
