There were MANY "prophets" running around at the time.
I believe that Paul created a amalgam...a "best of" to use to created HIS version of "Christianity". The Jews in power didn't buy that ANY of the prophets were "the one".
IF "God" went through all that trouble...a stupid thing really if you think about it...to manifest himself in our form and "teach us"...he did a **** poor job of it.
And WHY? Why bother with bacteria? That IS what we are to a being like that...below bacteria. Do you care what each individual bacterium does/thinks/treats his neighbor? Then why would God care about us?
I don't blame you...you were indoctrinated, brainwashed at an early age. I blame those who would extract a 10% tithe from everyone they can.
Of course, "you" is in the broad, general sense. You mellin are aware of the scam.
