[QUOTE="doubtingmerle, post: 56947388, member: 6687"] Ok, Acts was written to explan how a gospel taught to a group of locals in Galilee became widespread in the empire with the leadership of Paul. But is it historical? Many argue that it was sheer fabrication. Really? I thought we were trying to establish if Paul thought Jesus was a man who recently walked on earth with his peers, or was a heavenly savior who did his salvation work in a mythical sphere. Are you sure you hopped on the right thread? Galations 1 & 2 Cor. 11. The fact that we have seven books authored by Paul is good evidence that Paul existed. Yes, Paul might have been using a penname, but still we know that the man who called himself Paul and wrote these books must have existed. The only alternative is that the books were written by committee or evolved over a long period of time with no distinct author. I'm no expert on such things, but since the consensus seems to be that these books were written by a single man, not be a committee, we therefore can deduce that the writer of Romans and the other 6 books must have existed. I cor 15:39-44 [INDENT][B]39[/B]All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. [B]40[/B]There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. [B]41[/B]There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. [B]42[/B])So also is the resurrection of the dead It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; [B]43[/B]it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; [B]44[/B]it is sown a natural body,[B] it is raised a spiritual body[/B]. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
