Early Christian historical inconsistencies hiding Bar Cochba's revolt

“Paul”’s letter to Galatians posits that “Paul” was present for the scene between Peter and the “circumsizing party.”  The scene as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles lacks “Paul.”

 In 2 Corinthians, “Paul” describes his escape in a basket.  The same escape is recounted verbatim in Acts.

In Acts, we are told that Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome, before any of the Apostles had arrived to proselytize there.  Suetonius claims that Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome because they made disturbances instigated by “Chrestos.”

Acts refers to an apostle named John, who was called Mark.  Presumably John was given the nickname “Mark” because the early church had a text attributed to a Mark, yet no one had any acquaintance with a man named Mark.

The “theology” of the Pauline letters is on point with the “philosophy” of Philo, particularly its foundation for claiming ownership of text.

Lurking behind all of these inconsistencies is the historical reference point that Justin Martyr referred to:  the Bar Cochba revolt.
