Nonsense. Nobody *invented* Christianity.
The gospel is the good news of salvation offered to mankind by a loving God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Any religious system invented is the creation of man and does not contribute at all to one’s salvation.
*Christianity* as we have come to know it, is more *churchianity* than anything resembling what happened in the book of Acts in the NT.

Christianity can exist without organized churchocracy and we have seen in a lot of denominations that churchocracy can definitely exist without Christianity.
A lot of FRoman Catholics sure hate Paul, to the point that they intellectually cut him out of Scripture. Funny thing is they that is what they falsely accuse Luther of doing.
Why? I think FRoman Catholics do so because of his emphasis on faith.
Acts 26:28. And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?”
That’s a fact. It amazes me how so many people totally miss what changed when Jesus became the one sacrifice for all sins and the veil was rent in two. Paul was christened by Christ to carry the new covenant to all people whereas prior to His death and resurrection the message was primarily to the Jews.
Paul neither invented nor hijacked Christianity. He was the major messenger of the New Covenant to the dispensation of grace.
