Not well educated...yes, Jesus himself was not an academic, but a carpenter. All his disciples had simple jobs. Did they really have the intelligence to make up a story that could easily have been debunked if they lied? A construct of lies so profound that you think it shook the world and became the most famous religion in the world?
Blue Bird,
Yes, according to the Christian bible Paul risked his life and was killed for his belief. I'm not sure what that proves.
Being "one of the best educated Jews" doesn't really prove anything either in my opinion.
Many of the Gospels have unknown writers so we don't really know who wrote what.
How could Joseph Smith and his followers make up a story that can easily be debunked and have so many followers?
What I am saying are not "allegations", they are truth. There are many things written in the Christian bible that are referred to in the Hebrew bible that simply are not there.
Quick example -
If I'm not mistaken, it says in the Christian bible that Jesus died and rose from the dead in 3 days, as it was written in the scriptures.
Where exactly is that written in the Hebrew bible?
Yes, Christianity is probably listed as the "largest" religion, but I'm pretty sure those numbers include people who are JW's, Mormon's, Roman Catholics and 7th Day Adventists and so on. If I'm not mistaken, I don't think you agree with those teachings.
