Now after my mum pointing out the writtings of Hyam Mccoby.

I though I better take a look, as basicly he says that Christ was a Pharisee and that Paul was not?

He agrees with me and many that Paul changed Christianity, yet what he says is that Christ was the Pharisee and Paul was not?

To me this makes no logical sense, who else thinks Christ was a Pharisee?

I will see what people put, yet if you would like the answer please read THIS as this is clear proof, why not.

I wish people would check stuff up, before publishing it as Hyam has done.

Yet as I find over the web most people each have a different idea of the truth.

I.E. Isaiah 53, re-read it if you already think you know what I mean, as it only becomes apparent when you realise that he wasn't a sacrifice; As taught by the Pharisee.

In reviewing the Gospel of Thomas, one of the most mystical of the Gnostic text's. I ran across in a Gregg Braden book, titled the Isaiah Effect, Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy the following: pg. 49

"Texts confirming that Jesus was a master of the Essene traditions lend additional credibility to the intepretation of this mystical reference to eternal life."

I have attended Gregg's seminars and have found them fascinating! This one most specifically!
