-Caveat Lector-
Hello Robert,
I've been quoted almost the exact thing you wrote... about Jesus & Paul,
from my estranged dad who is a Mason, first and above all other things.
(The fact that he believes this from Masonic folklore, to me, says enough).
I happen to disagree with that opinion, both about Jesus and Paul, and leave
it on that step. I would rather follow the Biblically historical facts that
show an entirely different point of view. In historical records, it is
noted that Paul was not lame but rather nearly, if not completely, blind.
This is why he had others write for him so often, such as Luke and Timothy.
This is also why historians often disagree about the authenticity of Paul's
writings, and often renounce his writings, because the handwriting varies
in more than one copy of the manuscript notations.
