That the sense of him was Hellenize by Paul (though also a Jew), and carried into "gospel" form of which he was unaware doesn't alter that history from which he drew fluently in his lifetime....

SFD: Holy smoke. "Too many notes."

Micah 6:8..."He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God...."

AP... "Maccoby believes that Paul's revelation was thus actually a resolution of his divided self; Paul subsequently fused the mystery religions, Judaism and the Passion of Jesus into an entirely new belief, centered on the death of Jesus as a mystical atoning sacrifice."

Is it what you believe?

With a hefty dose of Hellenism, yes. Hyam Maccoby "Revolution In Judaea"

Onward the Good!
