    Paul never existed.

    Price talks about the “myth of the early Church.”

    How sure are we of a communist early Church, and are we thus doing the same as evangelical protestants who think of themselves as being like an “early Church” that never was?

    A myth of an early Church could have been invented to browbeat Christians of different traditions later on. To be sure, the early Christians would not have been Trinitarians/orthodox, who were late on the scene.

    Yes, but isn’t Paul himself a composite of sevwral anonymous people, and the letters too rewritten by different people.

    The “heretical” Christian sects were the earliest. The Marcionites especially, who claimed “Paul” as their own. The Athanasians, who became the orthodox, were late on the scene, and moaned that they were outnumbered by the “heretics.”

    Robert Price has written a book about the Paul fraud, called The Colossal Apostle, and two books exploding an historical Jesus.

    Apart from socialism, my father’s life was rugby. He was a founder member of a London club, which is still going, and Boris Karloff was a frequent spectator and visitor to the clubhouse toward the end of his life.

    BJ, I am finding Jack Common’s books hard to obtain.

    I do like Alan Sillitoe. “Uncle Ernest” is my favourite of his short stories.

    Thank you.

    Can I wear ear-muffs and take a book?

    Paula, will you please remove the Peter Cook and Dudley More video link? My comment too. Thanks. The edit option has timed out.

    The video link was just a joke.
