>>17856225 (OP)Apostle Paul = Flavius Josephus ben Mattityahu = Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai
>>17857033Reminder; “Christians” is something similar to “anointers”, that is “supporters of the anointed one (king)”.
The more intellectual atheists blame Paul/Saul for inventing Christianity, in the same breath as blaming Josephus because – unlike the crowd they extract money from – they know Paul is a projection of Josephus.
They still don't know, or a part of them don't know that, Zakkai and Josephus are the same person as well.
2nd Temple Judaism got itself destroyed, with Christianity and Rabbinical Judaism raising from the ruins.
That's why it's misleading, under a calvacade of doctrinal resets & inventions, to say that “Christianity grew out of Judaism” – because the effective creator, of both Christianity & Rabbinical Judaism, is the same person that was the only one – officially allowed – to write the history of this particular period by the Roman Republic/Principate.
And Jesus “the Annointed” was a convert king to Second Temple Judaism, from Adiabene-Edessa, and subject/ally of the Parthia Empire – enemies of the Roman Republic-Principate and Roman-aligned Israelites.
