Question regarding Christianity

Re: Question regarding Christianity

There was disagreement from the get go. After the disappearance of Jesus (AS) the people were miffed. Paul and Barnabas were preaching to the Gentiles, people were arguing with that. Peter passified the people saying that the Gentiles had received the spirit. [To me that means enlightenment].
Later Barnabas and Paul split up over a dispute about John being called with them on the mission. [Acts 15:36] There were other disputes later still and the writings of Paul are written in the form of refutations. So this means there were alternative views around at the time.

You will see that Paul was a very witty man. He could easily talk himself out of trouble.

Acts 23:6 Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead." 7 When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. 8 (The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.) Are these the actions of a man guided by God? Would it not be possible for a Jew who was Roman citizen to use his position as a defence against the mobs? More can be said about this later. However, such a man cited that he received a word from Christ (AS), the only witnesses were people no one knew and there were no independent accounts of his alleged visitation.

Jesus (AS) told his disciples to get ready for a fight. They could only find one sword. He went to pray on the Olive grove. They were going to fight, but it was stopped ... He told his companions to stay awake and look out and Judas was a bad man, right? But if crucifixion of Christ (AS) was such a good thing, then why is Judas seen as such a negative character, surely he facilitated and expedited the process of human atonement? The reason why he is perceived as bad is because simply is was bad. People should not plot to kill or have agents of God arrested.

Really? ... I didn't know this ... please provide a reference.

Again please provide reference ... I thought in his own words he says he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.
