Jenyar said:It's easy enough to follow Paul's reasoning for yourself. He cites his sources, and explains his reasoning. If you don't follow, do some studying, but it doesn't help to call him a liar just to justify yourself.
The possibility that Paul was deceptive takes a little too much unwarranted imagination. It's only possible if you go beyond the evidence and insist that Paul wasn't a Jew, in other words, if you take him out of his context - see Paul in recent research.
And a lot of people forget that not everything in the NT was written by Paul.
The possibility that Joseph Smith was deceptive takes a little too much unwarranted imagination.
The possibility that Jim Jones was deceptive takes a little too much unwarranted imagination.
The possibility that Mohammed was deceptive takes a little too much unwarranted imagination.
Anyone can be telling the truth if taken in the "proper context"..
