Paul preaches "Christ, and Him crucified". As if dying on a cross was all Jesus was about.
Not all, to be sure, but most definitely the main event.
You think not?
he attempted to bring change to the status quo. the majority (the Jews) had him kilt by their oppressor, the romans. nowadays, things have changed. his vision for change has occurred to an extent, but not yet enough. the jews represent some 11 million people now, scattered all over, and then occupying a small sliver of land that once belonged to the philistines, who were allies of the Greeks.
in short, his being kilt by the opposition was god's will, afterall. we all know god will not and shall not be denied. so, his killing was according to plan. lot's of stories have emerged in the last 2000 years, and more to come, i suspect.
