Paul Had Sexual Hang-Ups
Paul Had Sexual Hang-Ups. Paul had sexual hang-ups. Perhaps the reason for this can be found in early writings. The early Jewish-Christians, called the Ebonite’s, wrote that Paul was not a Jew by birth. This belief is found in the writing of Epiphanius in the 4th century, which states;
“They declare that Paul was raised in a pagan household. He went up to Jerusalem and when he had spent some time there, was seized with passion to marry the daughter of the high priest; and this was the reason he became a proselyte (Jew) and went through the Jewish ritual of circumcision. But when the lady rejected him, he flew into a rage and wrote against circumcision and against the Sabbath and the Jewish Law” (Pamarion 30.16.6).
