Richard Carrier's claim that Paul only describes a Jesus in outer space, never on earth

Real Historian Responds to "Jesus Was a Myth" Claims 00:28:10 – 00:29:10

Presenting a key mythicist argument from Richard Carrier about Paul

Richard Carrier argues Paul is "ever only talking about a Jesus in outer space that he has conversations with" — a spiritual being who never came to earth and never had an earthly life. The argument is that Gospel writers later historicized this spiritual being into an earthly human. This is Carrier's euhemerization argument in reverse.
