So, for Alfaric, there are three Jesuses in the actual epistles of Paul:
1) the genuine Jesus of Paul: the ideal Just suffering
I note, on this subject, that the his conversion took place at Damascus, from whence he went to Arabia, where he afterwards "returned" (Gai, I. 17). However, it was in this city where was retired the leader of this New Covenant community, whose Rule was discovered among the manuscripts of the cave of Ain Feshka, and that had many affinities with that left to glimpse the authentic texts of Paul. Like the members of this Order, of which Pliny the Elder reports a monastery in the vicinity of the Dead Sea, at Engaddi, and of which Josephus has described the ascetic and often itinerant life, the Apostole Paul practices and preaches the renunciation of riches, honors , pleasures, marriage. For him, as for his coreligionists, Jesus personifies not the national Messiah nor the Prophet of the last days, but the ideal Just who turns away from material goods to live in spirit with God and who, for this reason, is despised, hunted down, condemned, put to death.
(my free translation, my bold).
2) the Gnostic Jesus: the Son of God descending, dying and rising.
3) the proto-catholic Jesus: the Jesus of which above is also the Jewish Christ.
Besides, there are two differences among Paul and the Pillars.
1) the first difference: the problems about the Torah.
2) the second difference: for Paul, Jesus was the Just crucified as living, while for the Pillars Jesus was:
...a ritual victim, like a Lamb of God, sacrificed according to the rules imposed by the Mosaic Code to the priests.
That means that the victim was crucified only after the death, as per Deuteronomy 21:22.
Paul introduced the crucifixion of a living Jesus, since the way of death (worthy of a slave) had to be entirely a deliberate choice by a living Jesus, in full conformity with the his deliberate emptying himself.
