Claims on the Jewish scriptures and other heritages..!

Though Jesus, a marginal Jew, claimed to have come not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it, Jews have never recognized him! They are still waiting for the 'Messaiah'! Yes, his early disciples too were Jews like him, from the fringes. Exceptions were there, but they were not coming in the light! Saul turned Paul was rather a zealot, an eccentric, though learned, as he claimed to be. He seemed not to have seen Jesus in his life time! He stole/hijacked the entire movement and the apostles, including Peter, were seemingly sidelined by his 'genius.' His wide travels and almost half of the NT books speaks volumes on his impact. What we see thereafter is more of 'Paulianity' than Christianity!
