Well you haven't shared any of the Bible to support your claim, I'm not claiming Paul is false you are. With no scripture to back you up may i add.
And what did Paul distort? Did he not say he was not one of the original apostles? Did he not say as a Pharisee named Saul that he persecuted and killed Jesus children? Does Paul not give all the glory and honor to God?
Why don't you start getting very specific in the verses that you say Paul distorted. Because I don't see any concrete proof, only a lot of talk about some book you read.
Paul was not an apostle to the Jews, but to the Gentiles. So he never said he represented the 12 tribes.Did Jesus or other chosen apostles call Paul as an apostle? No way, because it is limited to 12 representing the 12 tribes. Did Paul has his own tribe to make it 13?
Verses please that show Paul as false and conflicting with Christ's words.Where does Paul say that? Then why did he self-claim to be an apostle?
There is nothing in Scripture suggesting they represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The Patriarchs still do that. What's more Peter rightly understood a prophecy indicating Judas would be replaced but God never told them to do any such thing. Certainly there was no call for casting lot.Did Jesus or other chosen apostles call Paul as an apostle? No way, because it is limited to 12 representing the 12 tribes. Did Paul has his own tribe to make it 13?
No, Jesus Himself told us to do communion in rememberance of Hiim.Another example: Jesus never said to celebrate communion in 'remembrance' of His death!
I think he just likes to deny the obvious.No, Jesus Himself told us to do communion in rememberance of Hiim.
Luke 22:19-20
19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you.a
Paul was not an apostle to the Jews, but to the Gentiles. So he never said he represented the 12 tribes.
Why did Jesus say that He must bring together the sheep in two sheep pens under the New Covenant?
John 10:15-16
15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.
So which of the other apostles went to the gentiles? Because Jesus said He had two sheep pens.

You say he is false, so you must have some proof.
There is nothing in Scripture suggesting they represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The Patriarchs still do that.

Now I don't know what your trying to accomplish here but you haven't made a single Biblical or doctrinal argument. It sounds like you just want to dismiss over half the New Testament. Paul met with the Apostles if he had been a false teacher they had ample opportunity to expose him. He founded most of the early churches in Galatia, Asia Minor and Greece.
No, Jesus Himself told us to do communion in rememberance of Hiim.
Luke 22:19-20
19 And He took the bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body, given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

Part of the conspiracy. GotchaIt is well known that what you have indicated in red and v. 20 were later insertions, probably by Pauline people.
Part of the conspiracy. Gotcha
For a poor tent maker, Paul sure made things happen.
I find that people who reject Catholicism/Eastern Othodoxy don't know what it is ... ditto what you said.I find that those who reject Sola Scriptura most often do not even understand the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, or grossly mischaracterize it and are the one who are most enslaved by their traditions.
So Paul was very poor and went on three long missionary journeys building Christ's churches and made tents at night for money to continue his missions, yet had time to 'cook up plans'?A good experience of fabricating stuff! One can guess at his cooked up stuff!
And Luke was not present during Last Supper so also Paul

Doesn't sound like Paul led the good life? Poor guy worked day and night.
He must have been the best actor in history. Then leaving all that money behind, from when he was a rich Pharisee to become a poor missionary working for Jesus by day and building tents by night.
Are you saying Paul was insane or something? I mean how does your book allocate for Saul giving up all his wealth, power, friends, ect.. job to become poor Paul who is thrown in jail constantly and be-headed for his faith?
And it wasn't Jesus who made this change to this man's heart and mind, but Paul being a manipulator?
Just curious how you have explained all these details to yourself?
I want verses and facts, not your opinions.He started the first division in Jerusalem Church for not giving Mark another chance to go with them after the first journey--very unchristian trait!
Supporting himself is something admirable. But why we have salaried pastors now?
So also chosen apostles and other disciples.
Paul was not rich. That is another fable to support him. Yeah, he was crafty as admitted by him.
Authority and power corrupts people. That is why he assumed apostleship on his own.
Read the Gospel books and epistles from others to understand Paul.
Sola Scriptura is overrated, the first christians didn't need it so neither do we.
I want verses and facts, not your opinions.
Now since you've read the other books and epistles, you have the answers for me. See you cannot just make accusations without having and listing the scripture to prove your point.
Please explain.Sola Scriptura is overrated, the first christians didn't need it so neither do we.
