Paul converted people to the Hellenistic version of The Kingdom of God after having met Jesus in flesh and blood; and after having been influenced by his view. But Paul was not satisfied with only sharing Jesus' progressive version of Judaism. Instead, he started to "spice up" his teaching with "borrowed feathers" from other religions. These were used to create "the deified Jesus", who had to outperform his rivals miracle by miracle and through this process, it was pointless to launch him as "a Jewish messiah". Therefore, most items around the historical Jesus were distorted beyond recognition, until a new figure emerged as "the Christ of faith, the Savior of the world".
