Sorry, I can lend to you no credibility. The 'scriptures' Jesus unfolded for them are the same scriptures we now call the Old Testament and possibly some of the Books of Enoch. You know that, so I cannot for you any credulity. I believe you posted this to raise an argument. That boarders strongly to blasphemy, to try to raise argument over the Grace of God in Christ.

There is a glorious wealth of spiritually instructive and uplifting material at Dr. Habermas’s website.
You can enjoy your straw to the full, I have NEVER made such an assertion. In fact, it is most likely that Paul had letters from Jerusalem which were read at gatherings, and perhaps this is what prompted him to return to Jerusalem for further clarifications from James and Peter and John. When you resort to straw assertions, attributing to someone comments which they have not made, so that you can then ridicule what you construct in straw, an agenda becomes more clear.
Uh, just a small comment. Paul never received further clarifications from James and Peter and John. They received clarification from Paul. (Gal. 2:1-14). As a matter of fact, Peter was rebuked by Paul.(Gal. 2:11). Paul could not possibly have gotten clarifications from them, as he received his message directly from the risen Christ. Not from man, neither was he taught it by man. But only by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Gal. 1:11,12).
I was referring to the visits Paul made upon returning from missionary journeys, to talk with the Apostles. Paul indicated in his letters that he had sought to reinforce what he was teaching during his journeys. Perhaps ‘clarification’ was too loose a term.
Oh, sorry! I thought you were saying Paul was being taught by Peter and the rest...:)

The sign on Jesus' cross was written in Aramaic, Greek, Hebrew and Latin, just to make sure that all understood the reason for His crucifixion.
