Charles Vergeer: Paul was a rebel

[Giuseppe]

Charles Vergeer's view resembles strictly Joseph Turmel's view in three propositions key:

• The historical Jesus was a rebel;

• "Jesus" is only a title: the true name of the man could be another (for Turmel: Judas the Galilean)

• The historical Paul was a rebel, too.

In the Epistle to the Romans, Paul would support Roman authority. However Vergeer finds it pure traditional Judaic theocracy.

Charles Vergeer points to a crucial translation difference between the original Greek and later Latin or English versions. In the original Greek, Paul might point to the supremacy of God which actually undermines Roman authority. Thus Vergeer suggests that Paul is no spy but a rebel.
