Reply #35: Some day, when I have time, I really want to study Paul (Saul).

[I_Make_Mistakes]

I can not grasp his conversion and repetition of the same old OT stuff. I guess what I am trying to say is, is Paul, the good, bad or the ugly. I feel in many ways, he refutes the teachings of JC.

He certainly came about way later than the other's and actually was present, if not participated actively in the persecution of the early Christians.

I think Paul is held in such regard, because he advocated for the inclusion of Gentiles into the fold.

He is the one, whose writings, I take with a grain of salt, when they contrast the Gospels.
