Finally InOmnibusCaritas gets it. We have to first define what the gospel is before we can determine if Lee brought a different Jesus and or gospel.

I was merely pointing out that 2 Cor. 11:4, the verse were we get "different Jesus, different gospel" from, reveals that Paul preached to the Corinthians sermons that didn't come down to us. This shouldn't be a surprise. Obviously there was way more preaching going on back then that didn't come down to us and that we don't have in our canon. The canon even attests to this, in the GOSPEL according to John:
Joh_21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
The gospel was, or is, the real Jesus, not a contrived Jesus.
Paul was our earliest contributor to the books of the New Testament. And already, just a few decades after Jesus went on vacation to His Father, Paul tells us of different Jesus's (sic) and gospels.
What were these different Jesus's and gospels? And if they came along so early in primitive Christianity what are they today?
Today we have more than 33,000 different Christian sects. Are there really 33,000 different Jesus's and gospels?
The would mean that Lee brought us just one different one among many. Will the real Jesus and real gospel please stand up?
Personally I favor the OSAS gospel .... it's my only hope.
Thanks InOmnibusCaritas ....
