Has it escaped your attention that much of the New Testament was written AFTER Paul was martyred? This is a FACT which is universally agreed upon.

Considering that Paul wrote MOST of the NT . . .

That must have been some trick!

Unless, of course, Paul's corpse engaged in "automatic writing" . . . akin to

Magnificent Magical Earth-Mother Mary's:

--fantasized Immaculate Conception;
--fantasized bodily ascension;
--fantasized childlessness post Jesus' birth;
--fantasized galactic cluster worth of concocted "GRACES" built on the toothpick of "full of grace;"
--fantasized apparitional appearances of the caricature;
--fantasized miraculous images;
--fantasized intercessions;
-- . . .

Evidently the "universally agreed upon" phrase is out of the RC edifice's magicsterical's rubber dictionary.

" --fantasized childlessness post Jesus' birth;" [excerpt]

Well, maybe James was born first.

Except for Matthew 1:23-24:

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

The contention made by some here is that Paul considered the New Testament to be “complete,” I was simply pointing out that this is IMPOSSIBLE.
