Early Christianity developed under Apostle Paul - NOT Jesus | Jiang Xueqin

Video Description (from Youtube)

The official narrative of Paul's life is riddled with contradictions that expose a deeper, more unsettling truth about his power and protection. This segment dissects the inexplicable events in Paul's biblical journey, from his conflict with Jesus's own brother, James, to his miraculous salvation by Roman soldiers despite being branded a "criminal" by Jewish leaders. We uncover how Paul wielded his Roman citizenship as a shield, threatening Jewish communities with imperial wrath.

Professor Jiang highlights the stark contrast: Jesus, lacking Roman status, was crucified, while Paul, a Roman citizen, was not only protected but granted unprecedented access and authority, even while under "arrest." The Acts of the Apostles ends with Paul living lavishly in Rome, untouchable and boldly spreading his version of Christianity, free from any real hindrance.

These inconsistencies are not accidental. They reveal the true nature of Paul's mission: not as a humble evangelist, but as a strategically placed figure operating with the backing of Roman power. Why did the Roman Empire shield a man accused of heresy, and what did they gain from his radical new religion?
