>>16949868>>16949885>>16949940>Jesus hates Jews he fought against themThis is true, however what you all fail to remember is that Jesus left no writings behind. He did not transcribe his speeches, he did not spend hours of time immortalizing his words.
Jesus was the man with the pure idea. Saul of Tarsus was the CEO who ends up buying out the idea with full legitimacy in the eyes of everyone involved.
You see, Jews hated Rome. They hate every gentile power that isn't controlled by them. And Christianity makes for a very distinctly useful revolutionary ethos, a fact which was not lost on Saul.
Anyway, Saul wrote the real religion. 13 of his letters ended up becoming canonical text, and he was the one who selected the new line of apostles.
He was a cryptojew zealot who wanted to bring down Rome from inside, and he used the inherent rootlessness and slave morality of Christianity to do this. He essentially made every slave in Rome a diehard fanatic against the master Romans and gave them a spiritual ethos, as well as paradise. Every man from disparate ethnic origin was united in the beautiful diversity of Christianity.
Never mind Jesus never met Saul, nor did he say much of what Saul said. If we had a Christianity untainted by Saul, with only the word of Christ preceding, then perhaps that would be a faith worth joining.
