My point at hand is that Paul combines the influence of both himself and Jesus because without Paul there would be no influence of Jesus. Paul is who transformed an obscure Jewish messianic sect into a universal creed.

St. Paul rewrote Jesus eh? Putting that aside, would St. Paul have found someone, someplace, somewhere to market in a his repackaged form of his own vision, to do that, without Jesus, or would he have remained a fisherman? Would someone not crucified in a rather dramatic way have been marketable, in a repackaged form or otherwise?
