Re: Paul was directly commissioned by Christ
quote:
To me the Bible is ALL "credible evidence" of what a Christian is to believe and I won't split it up. If you can argue your points WITHOUT basing them on external judgments of the validity of the different books I could possibly discuss it all with you, but I won't accept external judgments. This may mean that I just can't discuss it at all in a "science" forum.
Well said. I, for one, applaud both your honesty and your conclusion.

As for James, Snyder makes a good case for dating it around 55AD, ...
Snyder's assertion that
The following parallel suggests that Paul wrote Galatians 3 (if not more) with James' letter in hand with the purpose of contradicting it.
is vapid nonsense. To the extent that parallels are real, they could just as easily reflect the pseudepigraphic James being written with Paul in hand.

[tektonics.org] makes the following -supported- assertion: ...
How truly disingenuous. Having just quoted a consensus of the "biblical establishment", you move on to a source which rejects consensus dates. You opportunisticly cherry-pick vapid and disparate positions in a way that, in my opinion, hardly warrants respect.
