Huh? How do you know that Christ said anything? Was there a tape recorder? Paul learned everything he learned through Jesus/God's Holy Spirit. You can't separate their thoughts.
Paul NEVER took credit for any part of our salvation! Everything he wrote pointed directly at Christ! He only revealed God's plan of salvation.
Maybe you should read posts until the end. It's a lot easier on the knees.
LOL!
We have first hand witnesses in the Gospels. Mark traveled with Jesus, Matthew was an apostle, Luke, even though he traveled with Paul for awhile, got his information from traveling with Jesus and from the Blessed Virgin Mary and John was an apostle.
Why do you not believe the Gospels since they are first hand accounts of people who traveled with Jesus?
Read what this thread says about St. Paul.
