While it is true that exposing the vast differences in the lives & lifestyles of Jesus Christ and Paul of Tarsus does not in & of itself prove that the two men espoused competing theologies, those differences in upbringing do explain what I will now show – namely, that Paul & Jesus exhibited stark discrepancies of basic personality & character; discrepancies that do not always mandate the development of different spiritual beliefs, and yet discrepancies that can help us to understand the same … 

“If Christianity needs an Anti-Christ, it needs look no farther than Paul … As represented in the Gospels (of Jesus) on one hand and Paul’s epistles on the other, we find two quite different kinds of men, and two quite different – if not fully opposing – spiritual traditions being inculcated. In the spirituality of Jesus Christ we find all the good that has ever been the result of biblical application, while in the religion of Paul we find all the disastrous mischief which has so indisputably flowed from the same.” ~ via Jeremy Bentham
