I would say that an account vetted by apostles is still able to be invented and corroborated and is infinitely different from Mt. Sinai’s revelation.

Anyway— here is a different series I started listening to tonight. This Rabbi I have posted before...another good speaker (especially for not having attended college...)

Paul (student of Gamliel!) is mentioned in the first one. It is a history of off-shoots of Judaism, and refutes the mentions of “Yeshu” in the Talmud as being Jesus. (note, it’s an unflattering abbreviation in Hebrew meaning “may his name be erased”...and does not refer to Jesus according to many Jewish, orthodox scholars.)

This is what Moses said to God when the Israelites rebelled, Exodus 32:32: "But now, if Thou wilt, forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me out from Thy book which Thou hast written."

Yes, infinitely different.

But there was never accusation of Jesus being an invention of the Apostles. And many who saw and heard Jesus became believers and there is an unbroken chain of people from that time to now.

Christianity lives or dies on the word of Jesus, not Paul or the Apostles.

Either he is who he says he is or he is a bigger liar than Obama.;-)
