Debunking the Myth: Did Paul Invent Christianity?

This article explores the claim that Paul of Tarsus invented Christianity, rather than Jesus of Nazareth. Atheists argue that Paul created key Christian doctrines and lacked knowledge of Jesus' teachings. However, biblical passages show that Paul's writings align with the teachings of Jesus, the apostles, and the Old Testament. The core tenets of Christianity are rooted deeply in Jesus’ messages, countering the assertion that Paul was the sole architect of Christian doctrine. This examination seeks to clarify the origins of Christian beliefs and address common misconceptions.
