  Great interview! &nbsp;I have mentioned that Paul seems to be preaching a unique gospel of his own accord and my Christian friends get VERY uncomfortable. &nbsp;It&apos;s so sad because I am simply observing what is obviously written in the Bible but they have a deep emotional need to justify everything they are taught in their church no matter how much it contradicts history, the scriptures and most regrettably, the truth.

  So the question arises: who was worthy of being followed?: James &amp; the Disciples who actually met, learnt from and were chosen by Jesus to carry his message, or Paul who never met Jesus besides a claimed vision he had, contradicted the teachings of Jesus as understood by his chosen Disciples (even had animosity towards them), and preached a theology contrary to that of the Old Testament Prophets?

  I am a huge fan of Dr. Wilson...he&apos;s brilliant, I love listening to and learning from him. He really makes the dynamic of the early movement and James, for me, &nbsp;much more digestible.

  My study of the book &quot;What you weren&apos;t taught in Sunday school&quot; made me search this topic because Jerald F. Dirks (a former ordained minister) clearly talks about how Paul went against the elders of Jerusalem church. <br>He has some youtube videos as well.

  Great interview. The first followers of The Way wouldn&apos;t recognize much of modern, Romanized Christianity. That much is certain.

  The kingdom of God is enlightenment. It is the realization that we are not separate.

  Paul leaned toward a Plato (platonic )viewpoint of spiritual reality as opposed to James and the early Church that leaned toward a Jewish world view using the Torah as the foundation. &nbsp;Oil and water.

  The idea that the Supreme Priest had some kind of authority in Damascus to the point he could order someone arrested there is ridiculous in any context let alone in the Roman Empire 1 century AD context
