RE Christianity really should be called Paulinity! Did Jesus of Nazareth really want to start a new religion? Not sure. Or, as one little old Irish lady used to say in our Bible study group, ... "Jesus was a good Jewish boy gone bad!"  Was Jesus even a Christian???? This the way I see it, so far! All religions are a construct by some one. There seemed to have been many "Christianities" after the Teacher/Preacher/Prophet (Son of God? God? Logos?) Jesus of Nazareth lived on earth.

This was a response to a [fairly militant and one-sided] argument over here about why the author rejects "Christian Anarchy". 

Literally this was just a fast response I typed out, so I would love feedback, suggestions, more discussion, and respectful argument.

 In Paul's list of the characteristics of love, he tells us that love is always patient.  Let's look at that patience part.  Somewhere in the mists of my memory I recall a saying, " Too many people confuse the difference between patience and a lack of standards."  Any responses?

I recently finished Barrie Wilson's How Jesus Became Christian.  I'm interested in seeing if anyone else has read this book, and if so, what they thought of it.
