The Paul dialogue has him saying that he was a deceiver (all things to all men), a babbler, and a crook (he stole from churches so that his favorite one wouldn't have to pay him). The English committee included those gems to show that the Paul story was BS. They actually wanted to retain their own ethnocentric religion and not adopt Christianity. so they wrote the Bible as an elaborate prank to fool the Catholics because the stories had never been written down together in a single book before they did it.
