When Donald Trump boasts of his billions while claiming to be a good Christian, he’s not thinking of Jesus. Jesus damned the rich: “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven.” Jesus told the rich man to sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor. Trump and his evangelical followers confuse Jesus with Paul, who invented the gospel of prosperity, telling his flock that if they gave to his collection, God would enrich them both financially and spiritually. Paul’s resurrected Christ often contradicted the teachings of Jesus. Like Trump and his followers, Christianity has opted for Paul’s teachings, and he is revered almost as much as his resurrected Christ.

New Testament scholars are people of faith—blind faith. We include a case study of one of the world’s most famous scholars, who touts his lofty principles. Yet on Paul’s behalf, he repeatedly sacrifices both his principles and his reason. For example, he asserts that Paul was always an observant Jew. But Paul ate pork from swine sacrificed to pagan gods, and called the Bible a “curse” that was “worth dung.” Paul violated the most fundamental tenets of Judaism, not to mention the Apostolic Decree. Yet this scholar is far less faith-based than his colleagues.

When facts conflict with faith, professional Christians either convert them or consign them to purgatory. For example, Paul repeatedly complained of his poverty. But when he reached Rome, he purchased housing that only the elite could afford. This fact is beyond dispute, so it is suppressed. Paul said he slaved night and day to support himself. But artisans like Paul earned a subsistence wage, and could not possibly have earned enough to pay for Paul’s costly mission. This basic fact of economic life is almost always suppressed. Some well-known scholars, like Bruce Chilton, even assert that tent-makers like Paul got rich from their labors. Furthermore, while Paul told his church in Thessalonica that he slaved to make ends meet, he thanked his church in Philippi for repeatedly sending him money in Thessalonica. Somehow, these scholars manage to ignore this incriminating evidence. Similarly, in his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul claimed to support himself. But in his second letter to the Corinthians, he was forced to admit he “stole” money from his church in Philippi. Again, these scholars ignore it. They even assert Paul would never dissemble, and that his claims must always be accepted.

In the ancient world, writing letters was very expensive, and even businessmen earning far more than Paul could not afford it. That’s probably why Luke never mentioned Paul’s letters, and why, for almost two thousand years, scholars avoided the subject. But over a decade ago, E. Randolph Richards devoted a chapter of his book to the cost of Paul’s letters. Faced with a series of unpleasant facts, he falsified them, and fraudulently eliminated over 90% of Paul’s costs. For example, he transformed secretarial wages from 35 denarii per 100 lines of text, to 25 denarii per 10,000 lines. His colleagues remained silent, and his evangelical publisher refused to issue corrections, much less pull the fraudulent work.

There are many damaging facts, fully documented, and readily confirmed—no divine revelations required. They paint an entirely different portrait of Paul than the photoshopped versions you’ve seen. Jesus said the truth shall set you free. Professional Christians can’t handle the truth. Get the facts.

Paul Revealed: Facts that Father Never Told You, by Steve Herman

Review Paul Revealed: Facts that Father Never Told You is a study recommended for readers who want an in-depth biographical and spiritual analysis of the important role Paul played in Biblical affairs, and provides a coverage both scholarly and accessible as it reveals not only the extent of Paul's life, times, and influence, but lesser-known facts about his impact on Jesus and the world.... Paul Revealed also will raise some controversy in that it focuses on facts that are often thought-provoking challenges to traditional viewpoints of both Paul and Jesus; so Christian readers who don't wish to reconsider the boundaries of faith and fact might wish to look elsewhere. There's nothing pat, predictable, or status quo in the approach of Paul Revealed, which intends to both modify and clarify points of confusion in traditional analyses of Paul and Christ. While it may be typical for Biblical scholars to choose faith over fact, Herman's approach is quite the opposite - and will ruffle not a few faithful feathers in the process. Herman provides evidence that Paul's letters, travels, and Roman housing were quite expensive, while his potential earnings from making tents was quite limited. This contradicts traditional claims that Paul supported his mission from his workshop. Herman also documents how Paul's version of Christ's teachings conflicted with Jesus' own words. Be forewarned: Paul Revealed pulls no punches in the process of analysis - and Christian scholars will be delighted in Herman's intricate outlines of contradictions and their interpretation. Of course, such research of necessity supports itself through Biblical quotes and passages; so readers can expect not speculation and theory but specific references to Biblical events and Paul's own writings which, when paired with Herman's observations and historical research, neatly outline the many conflicts with traditional views: "Paul said that when Christ returns, "when he hands over the kingdom to God the father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet" (1 Cor. 15:24-25). That is, shortly before Paul told the Romans that rulers were divine representatives, he told the Corinthians that they were God's enemies. On both occasions, he claimed divine inspiration." Where facts need support, Herman turns to both Biblical inconsistencies and quotes and his own research and analysis: "Shortly after the Apostolic Council, Paul left Antioch and went out on his own. Luke and Paul invented different stories to explain this. Luke said that when Barnabas wanted to take Mark with them on a return trip to Galatia, Paul became so outraged he charged out of Antioch and had nothing more to do with Barnabas or the mission. This is dubious on several counts. First, Barnabas almost certainly had no interest in returning to Galatia. Galatia was a backwater, and it's surprising he went there in the first place. There were many more important places to missionize in the brief time remaining. Second, Barnabas would have been leading and funding the mission. Not only was Paul in no position to object, complaining about Mark would have been petty and vindictive at best. Paul's story was more grandiose and even less plausible, though nearly everyone accepts it." From the economic, political and religious realities of the times, to how New Testament scholars have failed to recognize that Paul could be deceptive (and might even have purposely crafted lies), Paul Revealed is an honest, scholarly reappraisal of the man which any serious reader interested in Christianity will appreciate.

I would have liked a vocabulary list at By Dorie LaRue Why did Paul create a new religion? What made Christianized Judaism so appealing to so many? What were the Jerusalem Christians like?
