1 Atheists’ Myths: Part 3 Richard Deem

2 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

3 Atheist Myth #3: Christianity Was Invented by Paul, Not Founded by Jesus of Nazareth

And I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.' "(Acts 22:6-8)
