  Gramme: ideologues expound for the promulgation of the system they are part of. We can never understand "intended meaning" which is a rhetorical trick that pushes meaning into the fuzzy and poetical. You cannot know very much about Paul's audience. Patrician women slumming it in the catacombs on Tuesday and Cult of Mithras on Weds? Jews in Rome? yes, and a thousand of nationalities, the most cultured of which spoke Greek, lingua franca of the med basin especially in the East.

  And, we shouldn't forget, Paul never met Jesus. Everything he preached was passed on to him.
