How Paul Created Christianity--His [Mis]Appropriation of Four Hebrew Bible Texts

In this interview with Youtube host Derek Lambert ‪@MythVisionPodcast‬ I put forth my thesis that Paul created a new religion that became known as Christianity by taking four texts from the Hebrew Bible and interpreting them in ways totally foreign to their contextual meanings. I fully realize that interpretations of sacred texts among Jewish groups in the late 2nd Temple period vary widely--and a diversity of methods are evident that have little to do with embedded narrative contexts. However, these four particular texts involve an entirely new construct in Paul's hands--one that I believe would have been quite foreign to John the Baptizer, Jesus himself, or to his Jerusalem followers led by his brother James--the triad of founders of the movement. In fact, in the New Testament letter we know now as "James," these very issues are addressed explicitly.
