You do go on. To me, the thread was getting a bit
off-topic; i.e. certain theories about the historical
Jesus not being tied back to Pauline matters. But the
responses of Dave Hindley and Ed Tyler were enough to
my satisfaction, and I considered the matter settled.

And still you go on. Just keep in mind list protocol
#1, and all will be well: "Keep to the List's focus:
the life, influence, teaching, theology, and writings
of (or attributed to) the Apostle Paul. Occasional
excursions into related areas are acceptable to the
extent that they shed light on matters Pauline."
