Jesus who visits Paul or Sheol/Saul == The real Capernaum?

Post by Giuseppe »

If Bernard Dubourg is correct that Paul/Shaul is only a symbol for the Sheol and its reaction to the resurrection of Jesus, then the same descent to Capernaum (=Hades for Heracleon) may assume a new meaning as a descent on Paul himself.

This may explain also why Marcion had the descent to Capernaum in the incipit: the first apostle to receive the true Jesus on the earth was Paul himself!
