So you are saying that if you were to agree with mainstream scholarship and that Galatians was indeed Pauline authorship, then therefore in Galatians, when Paul says he met Peter, that turned out to be some random bloke he, Paul, invented which the gospel authors expanded upon in the Gospels to create one giant world religion. Boy oh boy talk about stretching to reach the mark.
WTF are you on about? When Paul wrote that he met Peter he meant that he met Peter. You believe he met a disciple of Jesus because you see the names are the same and you assume as much. If you can show us where Paul claims to have met a disciple of Jesus, by all means.
"Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days. 19 I saw none of the other apostles—only James, the Lord’s brother." -Galatians 1:18-19. The key phrase is I saw none of the other apostles. The other is referring to Peter in relation to the apostles. Whom are these apostles? You can make up your own fancy stories, or you can use simple logic and deduction and realize that Paul is talking about the apostles of Jesus. In of which, Paul in Corinthians defends himself as being a true apostle of Jesus such as Peter was.
So Peter was an apostle of Jesus. But oh I guess it must be that "mythical" Jesus that was going around. Because that makes perfect sense. Not.
Again, your position has more holes than it does substance. For one door you supposedly close in defense of your position you open up two more. Again rather simple.
I don't have a position that I am defending, I am merely calling you on your BS.
Gal2: 7 On the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised 8 (for he [God] who worked through Peter for his apostolic ministry to the circumcised worked also through me for mine to the Gentiles),
We learn from the epistles that 1st century apostles were appointed by God. Peter was appointed by God as was Paul.
1, where is Jesus in this appointing of apostles?
2, an apostle is not a disciple, where does Paul claim to have met a disciple of Jesus?
