How do Christians react when they learn that Paul imagined Jesus?

It is clear from a comparison of history and Paul's writings that Jesus didn't start as legends based on a real person, he started as a story based on scriptures and Paul's imagination. History shows us no mentioning or awareness of Jesus, prior to Paul, and that all later stories of Jesus are derived from areas where Paul made his stories known.

Paul tells us in his writings that his knowledge of Jesus is based on his interpretation of scripture and not from another person. He also tells us that no one, aside from those who also gained their knowledge from scripture, knew of the events related to Jesus until he personally shared the story with the public.

This is the most screwed up historical account I have ever read.Paul's knowledge about Jesus did NOT come from Christian scriptures since none at been written at that time but rather from the Holy Spirit and discussions with Christians,some of whom had known Jesus personally.

We must be getting very close to the return of Christ when people use this extreme level of deceit to discredit Him. :mad:

Yeah, must be great to be so brilliant that you can dispense with sources, arguments, and logic.

I have read many books that argue the opposite. For example, the two volumes by Prat
The Theology of Saint Paul
Ferdinand Prat (Author), John L. Stoddard (Translator)
