[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Certainly Paul was be-bopping all over Ancient Rome writing letters and starting churches within 50 years of his death.  And his writings and behavior are much too organized to believe he was schizophrenic.   So, where did this theology come from?  Was there some group of crazy people who made it all up, including a central figure who never existed?    [/quote]

I think the answer is obvious, it came from the Jewish faith. Jesus was Jewish after all.[/quote]

It’s pretty different from Judaism though. Jesus got rid of all the dietary, clothing and other rules. That’s a big reason why he was so unpopular with the Jewish priestly class. [/quote]

Still, Christians believe stories in the Old Testament, which is the whole Jewish Bible.

It's where the 10 commandments come from, and supposedly a lot of the prophesies in the OT are realized in the NT.

Also, the Moses story of the parting of the red sea is a foundational story in both religions.[/quote]
