• This Man Might Already Be in Your Church!

  The man was a definite radical!  He incited crowds to riot and he could never be alone in an area without getting someone so angry at him for his radical religious views and subversive political views that this radical found himself in the center of a great deal of violence! This guy specialized in standing up in open public spaces and making radical statements, which often led his listeners to question the teachings of their governments and their religious leaders!
  
  The guy was and definitely still is a passive terrorist and a subversive.  One only need to read his own words to read of his fomentations of passive aggression for his cause:

  "Five times I have received at the hands of the Jews forty lashes less one. Three times I have been beaten with rods; once I was stoned. Three times I have been shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been adrift at sea; on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from... (those who pretend to be championing our cause, but are really spies against it), ...in toil and in hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and in thirst, often without food, and in cold and exposure!"*

  What a personal record!  His public record is even worse!  He was in and out of prisons, publicly defying public officials to their faces and telling them off regardless of the consequences of his praise of his so-called Religious Mentor, whom he claimed to have met after he fell off a horse. Since this radical met his Spiritual Guide in a vision, one can truly wonder about this madman's terroristic teachings!

  The last that I read about this guy was when I was reading a letter that the man wrote to some of the members of his revolutionary cell in some Middle-Eastern city. This madman was supposedly being held by some Italians, who were threatening to behead him for his radical teachings!  I AM WARNING YOU:

  Be on the lookout for the subversive named Saul of Tarsus, alias Paul of Tarsus!  He is also known by some well-organized members of his religious movement as Saint Paul.  Letters from this madman might be circulating amongst the youth of your churches, synagogues, and mosques!  He hides in the business community as a maker of handmade tents!

  This guy is a known fomenter of religious and civil rebellion. If you let his letters run loose in your religious organizations, you'll be in for a peck of trouble! This man and his literature are a definite threat to the Established Order!

  *From Paul's Second Letter to Corinth

  Do you ever think of Paul and other New Testament figures as radicals in their society?
