James the brother of the crucified slave?

Post by Giuseppe »

What if the early Christians received in a vision the call to realize themselves the death of Jesus ''in the flesh'' by killing a slave on the cross ?

Could the brother of the crucified slave be named James?

And could this James be present at the famous meeting between Paul and Peter at Jerusalem?

Also in this case Paul could distinguish Peter and all the apostles from a mere slave, the brother of the crucified slave who played the role of Christ on the cross.
