Apparently, to Peter Jennings and the "thinkers" on his show say that Christianity mainly broke from Judaism because of circumcision. Paul was an ugly twit and none of Jesus original followers liked him.

Well, on to Islam for me then! Petah has spoken.

OK I will bite. If it wasnt over the need of non-jews to become circumsized to join the movement, something that for adults in 1st century Israel was a highly risky operation, what did Paul break with James over. Sure some of it was faith verus works but what the Bible says the primary arguments where about circumsision and the necessity to keep all the Jewish dietary and other laws.

Oh, you just reminded me of another scholar's assertion.

Ready?

The name "Judas" was assigned to the betrayer of Jesus becaue it sounds like "Jew".

I'm not kidding.

The liberal theologians always miss Peter's endorsement of Paul in 2 Peter 3:15-16, where he refers to Paul as a "dear brother" and calls Paul's letters scripture...but they probably only miss that because they've never actually read the bible.
