If you go ** you do not have permission to see this link **, and click “create new map,” you can make a google map with as many pins (no route) as you like; you can even add descriptions to the pins (like if you wanted to add a reference to the place that Paul mentions going to the city).
You can also color code the pins, for example, to distinguish places that Paul says he plans to go from places he says he has actually been.
NB: if you share it, your name will be visible to anyone viewing it.

Hi, Fluminense. You have to be very unlucky to start Your personal forum trip with this topic.
The church in Jerusalem, like everyone else, found out about Paul’s letters after 100 CE. It’s just a shame that there is no evidence of any church in Jerusalem or Antioch or Ephesus or Rome before 94 CE. Because the churches in Paul’s letters evaporated before the letters reached the first readers like Luke or Marcion. The narrative of Die Leiden des jungen Werthers is more real than Paul’s Undique veni, omnia vidi, omnia ad infernum.. The providers of mass content are always marketing thugs focused on their own goals, treating the masses of recipients as a source of revenue and market power for their own projects.

2 Peter 3:15-16 as it says, they would’ve known about Paul’s letters before the 2nd century, and before the 70AD (Jerusalem) Temple destruction.

If we’re contemplating what is a forgery or not, then anything is possible. There was a war going on and lots of evidence would’ve been destroyed in the war.

2 Peter according to Bart is dated to the 2nd century CE. According to Bart it was written by an unknown ghostwriter. I agree with both theses.

Ok, 2 Peter is a forgery too.

Matthew 27:45 was a prophecy from Micah 3:6,

It’s all a dark and twisted telling of Micah. Spooky.

False attribution was a marketing necessity. The market was full of competing texts, better and worse. A big and famous name from a supposed past could be decisive.

@Jarek

I think they were looking for a new theocracy to replace the Emperors and Caesars, failures of the Roman Imperial Cult.

@Robert

The church in Ephesus had been raised from the dead and ascended into heaven, Ephesians 2:6, Ephesians 5:14.
