    Without Paul there would not be Christianity. He had a distinct ministry apart from the 12 apostles. We cannot follow Jesus today. What he said during his earthly ministry was about the law. If you are a christian you live under the grace of God. Paul is our apostle.

    How the heck did Paul get converted? Who caused him to be blind then healed him and sent him to preach to Gentiles? It is silly to separate Jesus from Paul!

    It's been established that Saul/Paul was an extremely motivated evangelical who I'm sure some of the best today are as jealous as hell of. It's Paul who made up many of the "Miracles" so as to sway peoples in far away lands. Without the miracles, they were not a hoot interested in some Jewish boy.

    I hope so. Paul's teachings were misogynistic, legalistic, and divisive.

    More or less the opposite of most of Jesus' teachings.

    You ever stop to wonder why you're called a Christ-ian? you follow Christ's teachings, anything else is so much add-on.

    Saul of Tarsus was a bigoted chauvinist tent-maker - if you admire guys like that, you go right ahead and do what he tells you. remember however that recent scholarship has shown that he did not write all the epistles attributed to him. Which ones? Find that out for yourself.
