GE, The Pauline Creed is not Pauline at all. Read it in the original Greek. When Paul writes, ‘what I received I passed on to you as of first importance.,’ actually refers to passing on tradition. The tradition is an actual creed spoken months after Christ was resurrected. You will also be able to tell that most of the creed is not in Paul’s literary style and is composed as a stylized parallel A-B-A. This creed was passed to Paul by Peter and James when he came to Jerusalem after 3 years in Arabia. Paul visits Corinth in 51 or 52AD because we know from an inscription of Gallio who was ruling there only in 51 to 52AD and is mentioned in Acts18:11. This means that this creed was already passed on to the citizens of Corinth in 51 to 52AD. this means that some of the 500 people that saw Christ were still alive as it was only 20 years since the resurrection. This is falsifiable information that could have been refuted by people living during that time. Paul told Corinth to fact check him and see if he was telling the truth. Also a hallucination is always known to be just that from the person that hallucinated, after they are brought to their senses. Check me from any psychologist on this. Paul had no reason to change his life so drastically and live a terrible life for 30 years and then suffer a brutal death in Rome around 60 -65AD. Also why did Jesus’ brother James do the same thing as Paul. He had no faith in his own brother until he saw him risen again and also died in Jerusalem for his belief in Christ as well. Also there is no account of the fall of Jerusalem or the death of Paul, Peter, or James in Acts. It was written as an historical narrative and was unlike any works during antiquity at that time. Also scholars alike agree that this work was the second work of the author of the Gospel of Luke. May God Be With You, Chris

I wrote a comment a week ago and its been taken down. Everything I said was with gentleness and respect. I’m confused. I did not even get an email to tell me why.
