This is a personality type one would avoid in real life.

I am not convinced of anything and maybe never will be in regards to Paul, i have read a lot of stuff about Paul and there are many scriptures they point out as a reason for the doubt.

And i had already saw for myself that there are quite a few contradictions concerning Him.

So comparing the scripture pointed out to the ones which are common knowledge to those who will acknowledge them does give reason to doubt.

There is no way i would trust any one who will try to slip around or ignore any scripture that does anything but lift their ideal which is Paul.

Many people will glory in the idea that Paul corrected Peter but if it is mentioned that Paul may have not been perfect they will throw a wall eyed fit.

And personally that is what has inspired me to take a good look at Paul who i used to think was the greatest apostle and now not even sure he was an apostle.

If you are being fair here, you will have to acknowledge that NOBODY worships Paul. He was a sinner just like ALL of us and he willfully admitted the same many times. What you should be careful about is to separate the man from the message. Christians have ALWAYS accepted the writings of Paul that are in the Bible as from God NOT from Paul. He was a man with faults JUST AS WE ALL ARE. So, if you are basing whether to believe the writings Paul gave us as questionable based on his character faults, then you might as well toss ALL of the Bible, because not ONE man was without sin but Jesus Christ - and that was because He was God in the flesh, dwelling with us.

God chose to give us His divine word via men's hand. He led them - carried along, as Scripture says - by the Holy Spirit to write EXACTLY what He wanted written down and He tells us, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but the word of God will never pass away.". We can trust His word and know that our obedience to it will give us the promises He makes to all those who will hear and obey. Even if someone can't READ, they can still hear and obey.

Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." (John 6:28,29)
