Professor — a proposition:
Who is more important, Jesus or the Apostle Paul?
Most people would say, Jesus, of course; what kind of dumb question is that?
But I hold that the Apostle Paul is more important that Jesus, that it is Paul and not Jesus who is the REAL founder of Christianity as we know it today. Jesus has the same relationship to Paul that the puppet Charlie McCarthy had to his puppetmaster Edgar Bergen (father of the actress Candace Bergen). Paul is the puppetmaster of Christianity whose genius was his willingness to stand back and let Jesus his puppet seem to do all the talking, when in fact the Jesus whom Paul created was a being that Jesus himself would not have recognized.
I also hold that the original Jerusalem Church — really, a SYNAGOGUE — had outted Paul as the preacher of the forbidden doctrine that even the Jewish followers of Jesus should abandon Mosaic Law, and had triumphed over Paul.
Paul’s heresy (of renouncing Mosaic Law even for the Jewish followers of Jesus) might have consigned Pauline Christianity to the ashheap of history, but for the fact that the Jewish Revolt, shortly after Paul’s 2nd trial (Acts 21) put and end to the Jewish Christianity of the original mother Jerusalem Church and left Pauline Christianity as the only form left standing.

I suppose Jesus. Without Jesus we couldn’t have Christianity. Without Paul we’d have a different *kind* of Christianity
