Would Jesus promote punishing the innocent instead of the guilty?

It is, as well as his authorship. Here's a single page from a book so that you can see what you are missing out on

Herbert isn't a NT scholar AFAIK. Maybe we should acknowledge that perhaps NT scholars have access to not only materials but exposure to context that is not so readily easy for us to be exposed to and take into consideration.

Anyway, I don't see what's remarkable about some guy claiming he had a vision. Happens all the time. And doesn't mean we should 100% dismiss everything said in his name and reject any work claimed to have been written by him to have been written by him.

I don't agree with Vicki regarding the claim that "the life of Paul is not debated within academia" but I also disagree when you say that his authorship is debated within academia by referring to a passage written by someone not part of this specific academia and who doesn't make an argument that supports your claim. Yes, not all Pauline Epistles are authentic, but there are at least six Epistles that share a particular style that seem to stem from a particular person who calls himself "Paul" and there's no good reason to think even these could have been forgery (what's the motive after all when these were the initial writings by someone who was at the time a nobody?)
