That You Might Know That You Have Eternal Life
Did Paul Invent Christianity?
Is the Founder of the Christian Religion Paul of Tarsus or Jesus of Nazareth?
Introduction
Many skeptics assert that Paul of Tarsus (the campaigner Paul) hijacked the early on Christian religion, changing the theology from what Jesus originally taught. Usually offered as proof for this claim are the doctrines found in Paul'due south bang-up theological piece of work, his letter to the Romans. Without a uncertainty, the book of Romans contains the about complete exposition of orthodox Christian doctrines. Are these doctrines opposite to what Jesus taught? Do they conflict with the teachings of the Old Attestation from which they were purportedly derived? If Paul really "invented" Christianity, and so one would expect that his teachings would be different from Jesus, the other apostles, and disciples.
The claims of Christianity
Christians merits that Paul of Tarsus met Jesus on a trip to persecute Christians in Damascus. Struck blind for iii days, Paul waited for Ananias (ane of Jesus' followers) to heal him. Converted by the experience, Paul passionately proclaimed the gospel to the Jewish and Gentile world. This gospel included doctrines including the amende of sin through Jesus' decease on the cross and justification through religion. Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, indicated that he received this gospel by revelation of Jesus Christ:
For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to homo. For I neither received it from human being, nor was I taught it, but I received information technology through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:11-12)
If it were true that Paul received his teaching directly from Jesus Christ, then surely Jesus Himself would have taught what Paul was preaching.
Paul's educational activity of the gospel
The basis of the gospel is the belief that Jesus died for the sins of mankind. Jesus conspicuously indicated that His purpose was to come up to dice on a cross for the sins of the world.ii This concept was non a new one, since Isaiah showtime prophesied that the Messiah would die for our sins.1 Paul, of course taught this doctrine,iii as did John, Luke, and Peter.4 Other crucial doctrines taught by Paul were also taught past Jesus and the disciples:
- Belief in Jesus for eternal lifev-8
- Righteousness by faithix-12
- Justification by religionxiii-16
- Forgiveness of sin through religion17-20
- Repentance21-24

Paul's Jesus isn't real?
The claim is oftentimes made in skeptical circles that Paul never describes the man Jesus of Nazareth, simply just refers to a celestial Jesus. Of course, the merits is false, although the claim seems to be believed past a number of skeptics who probably never read whatsoever of Paul's New Testament books. In reality, Paul indicates that Jesus came into the world,25 and that he himself saw Him.26 In addition, Paul states that Jesus was a man27 made of mankind,28 ate and drank,29 bled,30 was crucified,31 died,32 and was raised from the dead.33 These are not the kinds of things that happen to some ghost Jesus. In virtually every volume he authored (over fourscore verses that I found), Paul clearly makes reference to Jesus the man, who lived and died on globe.

Decision 
The idea that Paul invented Christianity out of some theological vacuum is completely without merit. Although Paul'due south Letter to the Romans is radically different from just about whatever other book of the Bible, the teachings constitute in the Book of Romans is likewise found in the Old Testament, the teachings of Jesus, and the teachings of the disciples. So, Paul didn't just make up doctrines to create a new religion. However, he did write the greatest theological treatise of all time in the Volume of Romans. Not only are the cadre doctrines of Christianity found outside Paul's writings, just Paul himself taught many other theological issues that reflect the teachings of Jesus during His years of ministry. Reverse to the claims of some, Paul did not just write most some "catholic Jesus," but described Jesus as a real man who lived and died on planet earth. In conclusion, Paul of Tarsus did not invent Christianity, but clarified the teachings of the Bible equally no other Bible author ever has. In add-on to his great theological writings, Paul was Christianity's greatest evangelist.
Paul: Follower of Jesus or Founder of Christianity? by David Wenham. Oxford New Testament lecturer Wenham examines the question, Was Paul thoroughly enlightened of Jesus' life and teaching, or did he largely create Christianity himself? Virtually of the discussion utilizes comparison of brief passages from the Epistles to the final written Gospels. Wenham points out both parallels and divergences, because how Paul's writings and teachings may have influenced the oral traditions and early written texts that coalesced into the Gospels, and vice versa. He makes a strong case that nigh, but non all, of Paul's beliefs conform to the received Jesus tradition.
