that Lk 22:6365 takes place at the hands of the Temple guard, not those of the Romans.) Thus perhaps the puzzling II-Cor 5:16, ΕΓΝΩΚΑΜΕΝ ΚΑΤΑ ΣΑΡΚΑ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΝ: ‘We have known Christ according to the flesh.’ This would certainly explain Paul's subsequent obsession with unmerited forgiveness! In any event, my purpose here has been merely to format a set of scriptural dichotomies which exhibit the underlying logic of the ancient Messianic/Paulianity schism, as essentially a conceptual (and of course pragmatic!) rather than a factual issue. This in turn may hopefully serve to stimulate in the reader a reconsideration of the apostolic status of Saul of Tarsus. For he evidently never joined Christ's Discipleship at all— which would indisputably have meant accepting Peter's spiritual authority— much less became an Apostle. These basic questions can no longer be papered over, nor can they be settled by institutional fiat. For their illuminating implication is that traditional Christianity— as defined by the classical NT canon including both the Gospels and Marcion’s collection of Paul's Epistles— is logically 300
self-contradictory and hence inherently unstable. Or, in a contemporary analogy, we might say that Paul's writings are like a computer virus: a surreptitious theological reprogram which, downloaded with the Gospels, changes their basic message, rendering it not gibberish but rather transmuted into another doctrine altogether— historical Church Christianity instead of the original Messianic Brother/Sisterhood. Appendix: Quotations regarding Paul (in chronological order; suggestions: edit@metalog.org) St Augustine of Hippo, Letter XXVIII, to Jerome (394 AD); Letter XL, to Jerome (397): I have been reading also some writings ascribed to you, on the Epistles of the Apostle Paul. In reading your exposition of the Epistle to the Galatians,... most disastrous consequences must follow upon our believing that anything false is found in the sacred books: that is to say, that the men by whom the Scripture has been given to us and committed to writing, did put down in these books anything 301
