That explanation is far from simple as has already been discussed. Search this thread for Eisenbeiss.
Also, your explanation of why everyone needs a ' savior ' is very complicated; it relies on an infallible text and is not open to debate. I already mentioned how faith makes more sense when you have more knowledge, so why do you exclusively trust the doctrine of Paul and ignore the serious possibility that man has changed the teachings?
Where is the REAL explanation for the evidence I have Presented? It will not be found by hiding from the facts of this case. As mentioned, your explanation Would entail a conspiracy without apparent motive. That needs to be explained.
Bible evidence is that Paul hasn't changed the teaching of Jesus Christ. In fact, the evidence is that Paul upholds the teachings of Jesus.
In the few places that their teachings might appear to be at odds, the two of them are talking to different groups of people who have different customs, and the teachings are made to fit the customs of each group while maintaining the basic teachings similarly for both groups.
The main Christianity teachings are the same between the two. Among them are:
- Jesus, death and resurrection for the saving of souls
- A final resurrection for all the dead
- Salvation to a joyous, eternal life with God for all those who do the work of God, which is believing in Jesus for salvation
- Damnation for all those who do not do the work of God, i.e., believe in Jesus for their salvation.
