No problem with your delay of response! I’m trying to figure out another way of approaching your belief of Paul and Jesus, and I was wondering if you believe that Jesus as portrayed in the four “canonical” Gospels is accurate and authentic?
No hurry – there is no compulsion (I like your saying!)

Being Canonical adds no authenticity to it, in my opinion; first it should be a quote from Jesus and then it should not be contradicting with other narratives about Jesus and quotes from Jesus irrespective of their being canonical or otherwise; thirdly it should not contradict with the OT Bible as Jesus being a Jew believed the truth in it; though in a diluted form.
As you know even the four Gospels, said to be canonical; were authored by anonymous persons; they were given names just to add some credulity to them; and they were compiled at a time when Jesus had traveled to India. In any case Jesus never owned them.
Thanks however for your comments.
