This book was recommended to me by a Muslim at work who told me it proves that Christians are following a Creed made up by Paul and not that which was believed by James and the early Jewish Christians. Has any Christian read this book and has a response to it?
There is no brother of Jesus
>>16883898James, Joses, Judas and Simon were all brothers of Jesus. The Gospels is quite open about Jesus having brothers, it's no secret.
>>16883968Many Apostolic Church’s say that the brothers of Jesus were sons of Joseph from his previous marriages. Secularist scholars understand that they did not have the worlds of “cousins”, and refer them as brothers.

>>16883968>>16884088Jesus didn't exist
>>16883880>thinks "brother" in the Bible can only mean your literal brother from the same parent Stop being retarded and stop giving mudslimes the time of day.
>>16884181You can make a good argument for people like Alexander the Great, and Moses from the Bible, never existed. Jesus in the other hand, have too much written records to convince secular scholars to say he never existed.
>>16883880Jesus was a Jew who quarrelled, preached and mixed solely with Jews, regarded himself as only a prophet for the lost sheep of Israel, and had no converts who were Gentiles.It's only well after his death and Peters hand that you start getting Gentile followers, so it's clear even after his death there's a demarcation between what Jesus preached and what his followers preached, and by Paul's time, this was a hundredfold true. Nietzsche notably would agree that Christianity would really be better called Paulism.That doesn't particularly mean Islam isn't any less a manufactured creed though, especially if they're trying to claim Jesus since Mohammad's position as the last prophet denies Jesus' position as the Son of God and Messiah

>>16884487>The Samaritan at the Well.>The Canaanite women and her daughter.>The Roman Centurion and his servant.
>>16883968The same word for "brothers" is used elsewhere in the New Testament to describe 500 Christians. Either the term has anagogical meaning or the Bible wants you to believe Mary had 501 kids.
>>16884181Socrates didn't exist.Jesus Christ is risen.
>>16883880He's trying to convert you because most people are not familiar with Christianity so they cannot defend their faith. They are also not familiar with how much Islam DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. https://youtube.com/@bobofspeakerscorner1099https://youtube.com/@socofilmshttps://youtube.com/@revelation22.13Watch these channels instead.
>>16884473>You can make a good argument for people like Alexander the GreatNo way. Do you mind sharing any you've seen?
>>16883880If you read Galatians carefully, you get the impression that Paul isn't really what he portrays himself as. It's not just Muslims who doubted Paul, including the people of Galatia, there existed, even as late as the 4th/5th century, Jewish Christians who thought Paul was a false prophet and hellenizer of Christ's original faith, and it seems they were connected to James and Peter in Jerusalem.As far as I know, Christians don't really have a response to this. It seems they just take Paul and his followers for granted. They claim to put faith Christ, but they really put faith in the early Paulines, who we know did forge documents and portray their views through Jesus and his disciples' mouths.
>>16885131If you want to know what Christianity was like before Paul, read the Didache. No divine sonship, no atonement, no jesus "becoming a curse" removing the "curse of the law", no crucifixion, and not even eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Christ during the Eucharist, just a regular meal. And I believe the Didache was written for gentiles
>>16885137A quote from the Didache regarding the bread of thr Eucharist: "We thank Thee, our Father, for the life and knowledge which Thou madest known to us through Jesus *Thy Servant*"

>>16884956>what is context
>>16883898It's haram that millions of stray dogs are killed a year, because people want to own them as pets and some run away.
