I would certainly hope (as someone who believes in that the church begins at Pentecost) that God is in charge of the dispensations. I would imagine for all his activity and stewardship, that Paul would regard himself as under the authority of Christ, rather than the church being under the authority of Paul.
But, one thing I was wondering about. Where exactly does it say that the "mystery" was first given to Paul? I know there are passages (you have quoted a few of them) where Paul says that it was given to him. But where does it say that it was given either first or exclusively to him?
didnt the church begin with the thief on the cross?
