Paul didn't create Christianity or the Church. The Church was established by Jesus. He told peter in Matthew 16:18 "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hades will not overcome it." Peter means rock. Jesus was telling Peter that his faith is what the Church will be built on.You are off base on that one Jillian.and? the idiot o/p said "the jews" wrote the new testament. they weren't jews if they believed the messiah had come.
There were many Jewish sects during that time.
Jews who followed the Rabbi Yeshua (Jesus) were still Jewish.
And initially followed all of the Torah Laws, kept the feasts, and went to the Temple to worship.
Even the New Testament affirms this as being true.
It wasn't until after the death of Jesus that Paul came along and created a separate religion called Christianity.
And the emperor Constantine took that little ploy to the Nth degree. Look at Rome and the Vatican. They have enough gold, silver, fine art and construction there to prove they were first with the most. It also gave them enough power to get away with phucking children.
