I wonder how much of what the historical Jesus said made it into the Synoptic Gospels. Certainly the Synoptics are heavily influenced by Paul. For example they all feature substitutionary atonement. But there are parts of them that are not Pauline.
I believe that some texts from Nag Hamadi have been hidden from the public. I also believe that other texts will be discovered. There needs to be a truth "whistlebower" for spirital texts.

Excellent piece. I've believed this on my own for decades now. We are here to serve our brothers and sisters, even the ones who worship Paul.
