Sorry, but this is not a political discourse. Richard Carrier has merely fixed the obvious thing: that for Paul Jesus was crucified in outer space.
And he is wrong, as usual. Just as you are wrong, as usual.
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again* he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you do not understand these things? Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know, and bear witness to what we have seen, but you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
*Or from above; the Greek is purposely ambiguous and can mean both again and from above; also verse 7
As the Logos is born in heaven of the virgin during the eclipse, Ophiuchus lifts the serpent up to Cygnus, the Northern Cross
I make known to you, brethren, the gospel - that gospel announced by me, that it is not according to man. For I neither from a man received it, nor was I taught, but by revelation of Isu Chrestos. But when the Supreme God was well-pleased, having selected me from my mother's womb, and having called me by His goodness, to reveal his Son in me, in order that I might proclaim him among the nations, immediately I did not confer with flesh and blood.
For Abraham had two sons, the one by a slave-maid, the other by a free-woman. But he who was of the slave-woman was born after the flesh; but he of the free-woman was by promise. This is allegorized: these are two revelations, indeed the one from Mount Sinai is the synagogue of the Jews, giving birth, according to the Law, into slavery; The other gives birth into freedom, Above every Principality, Power, Dominion, of every name that is named, not only in this destiny, but also in that which is to come- the holy assembly promised to us, which is our “mother”. So then, brethren, we are not children of the slave-woman, but of the free.
For myself, by His law to the law I died, so for God I may be living. With Chrestos I was crucified. I live but it is no longer I living but Chrestos [‘s life] with me. That life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who ransomed himself for me.
I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses— though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.
[...] the road. And he spoke to him, saying, "By which road shall I go up to Jerusalem?" The little child replied, saying, "Say your name, so that I may show you the road". The little child knew who Paul was. He wished to make conversation with him through his words in order that he might find an excuse for speaking with him. The little child spoke, saying, "I know who you are, Paul. You are he who was blessed from his mother`s womb. For I have come to you that you may go up to Jerusalem to your fellow apostles. And for this reason you were called. And I am the Spirit who accompanies you. Let your mind awaken, Paul, with [...]. For [...] whole which [...] among the principalities and these authorities and archangels and powers and the whole race of demons, [...] the one that reveals bodies to a soul-seed."
Then we went up to the seventh heaven, and I saw an old man [...] light and whose garment was white. His throne, which is in the seventh heaven, was brighter than the sun by seven times. The old man spoke, saying to me, "Where are you going, Paul? O blessed one and the one who was set apart from his mother`s womb."
Paul doesn't know a Christ crucified in Heaven, just as he doesn't know of a Christ born of a virgin. He only knows of his own heavenly crucifixion and his own heavenly rebirth.
