Reseña del libro "The Apostle Paul: And The Four Musketeers Who Opposed Him (en Inglés)"
THE APOSTLE PAUL In my previous letters I've provided evidence that the Letters of James and Jude and parts of 2 Peter 2 and Rev chapter 6 were reprimands, spoofs, lampoon and satires of the Apostle Paul. A very important key issue led by the letter of James was overlooked concerning a metaphor of clothing against Paul.The letter of James uses 3 metaphors of clothing/favoritism to rebuke Paul as one who has committed murder.Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary 11th edition on Favorable: disposed to favor, partial, b. expressing approvalJames's letter is trying to link up the clothing metaphor by code, innuendo against Saul/Paul who killed Stephen/James.Chapter 2 of the letter of James writes twice about Favoritism with clothes and links it committing murder.In Chapter 3 it rebukes the boastful horse tongue of Paul and states at the end: "But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness".Chapter 5 of James Letter is linked with chapter 3: Now listen you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire...The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the lord almighty...You (Paul) have condemned and murdered innocent men (Stephen/James) who were not opposing you.At the end of James letter it equates a 3 and half year famine caused by drought to his time and Elijah's time.The Letter of Jude follows James theme: "Be merciful to those who doubt, snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear-hating even the clothing (Paul) stained by corrupted flesh".The only other time that clothing/Favoritism/approval and the issues of food/famine with a murder come in all together is in the book of Acts of Paul killing Stephen/James. In chapter 6 and 7 of Acts talks of Stephen/James being chosen to help distribute food to the poor. Stephen talks about ancient times when a famine struck all of Egypt. In chapter 7/8 of acts it has Saul/Paul giving "approval" to Stephen's death. Stephen said: "I see heaven open and the Son of man standing at the right hand".At this they covered their ears and yelled at the top of their voices, they all rushed him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul/Paul.While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, Lord Jesus receive my spirit. Then he fell on his knees and cried out, Lord do not hold this sin against them. When he had said this, he fell asleep.Chapter 8 "And Saul/Paul was there, giving approval/Favoring to his death".This is all similar language to the cries of the Harvesters reaching the ears of the lord about those who murdered innocent men in the letter of James might be a possible link. The theme of the assassins clothes with Paul's approval/favor is another link too.I was blessed to discover that the so-called church father of history {Eusebius,264-340ad}, said that James was pushed down from the Temple and was "being beaten with a fuller's or Laundryman'Club". This explains the analogy of death/clothes being used together in the Letter of James.
