>>Furthermore, it explains how a large generation of Jewish people (remember, most of the early Christians were Jewish) would have been willing to risk the damnation of their own souls to hell and reject what had been sociologically embedded in their community for centuries; namely, the Law must be kept for salvation, the Sabbath must be kept, nontrinitarian monotheism...<<

Actually the early Jewish Christians in Jerusalem (led by James, brother of Jesus) were not trinitarians. They kept the Sabbath and the Law. It was Paul out among the pagans/gentiles where all the Christian growth came from. It was also Paul and the pagan/christians who dropped circumcision, dropped sabbath worship, and asserted Jesus/God equality. James and the Jewish Christians were not the big of a leap from the more traditional Jews. (read Galations lately?)

So we have the people close to Jesus saying one thing and Saul/Paul (who had never met Jesus in life) saying another. The most reasonable explanation for this is that Paul's version (and the modern version) of Christianity is not really what the historical Jesus taught.
