i think it's frightening that many people here don't even know where this attack is coming from. How can you defend yourself when you don't even know what is being jabbed at you.
Paulianity- (see also Hyan Maccoby, Paul the Myth maker) is the idea that Christianity as we know it is created by someone who didn't know Jesus during his lifetime (admittedly true), perverted the beliefs, wasn't actually Jewish as he claimed, was a gentile who integrated Greek mythology and Jesus' movement for his own gains. Kind of in a nutshell. now- defend yourself!

Where have you been? Although it was after the crucifixion of Jesus, it was about Jesus and it was Jesus who created the Christian Church or faith...you know "Christ" IS THE FIRST SYLLABLE in "Christian." Paul was just a evangelist who preached the gospel to the Non-Jewish people or the "Gentiles." Paul wrote as he travelled and it's his writing which was inspired by The Holy Spirit that we follow in the New Testament Church.
So I have to correct you in that we do not worship in any church of Paul and really, it seems that your looking for a way in your remarks to dishonor and to discredit Christians...but it did'nt work. PEACE!!!

Good question. I've been wondering about this myself. Apparently, Paul never knew Jesus... Paul began to believe in Jesus after he had a vision on his way to Damascus. Paul is responsible for many writings in the Roman Catholic religion. Did Paul get his vision from God or from Satan? Did Jesus direct/inspire Paul to write the things he did? It concerns me that Paul was imprisoned for awhile in Damascus. I am wondering if Paul may have been forced to write some things.
Commentary on the Gospel of Saint Mathew–22—by Swami Nirmalananda Giri -"Chills and thrills, volcanic eruptions, and overwhelming revelations are the products of Satan, not his vanquishing. Remember Elijah’s experience at the cave.7 He was shown cataclysmic wind, earthquake, and fire, and he perceived that this was not the presence of God." Satan and his angels can easily trick us by lying signs and wonders. Check out my question "Do you think that the birth of the Red Heifers born in the 1990's is proof that the Messiah is coming soon?" There is an important message for everyone.
Note: It will be interesting to see what the Vatican learns when they open Saint Paul's Coffin. I wonder if Saint Peter was also buried in the old Church that was found by Archaeologist near the Vatican.

Paul was chosen by Jesus to instruct the gentiles in the ways of Jesus Christ. Read Acts 9:15-16.

because "christianity" is Anti-Messiah and is grounded in the lies that are the theo'ry'logical doctrines of mankind's "imag"ination ;-(
also "catholics" and "christians" can not "see" that the "dispensation" of Paul ended with the destruction of the earthly city of jerusalem, the destruction of which was accomplished by The Power that GOD had given over to HIS Son, The Messiah!
it was then that The Son delivered up The Kingdom to His Father and was once again subject unto HIM! The Good News Fulfilled! for The Kingdom of GOD, which is of The Heavenlies, had come indeed!
and while there is breath(spirit) there is hope!
for Miracles do happen!
hope is that there would be those who experience The Miracle that is "receiving a love of The Truth" for they will "set their affections on Heavenly things".......because they "know" that soon it will be, "caterpillar to butterfly", indeed ;-) Home, Home at last!
peace, in spite of the dis-ease(unbelief) that is of this wicked, evil world and the "strong delusion" that is it's systems of religion.......

I think you're talking about Catholics. They usually tend to worship at churches named after saints.
I worship at King's View.
But I also believe you can worship anywhere; even at home or in the car...doesn't matter what 'building' you are in...the 'church' is actually the body of Christ...which are Christians or believers.
(If you want to get technical)

I'm sorry I don't understand your question. Paul was an apostle, called by Jesus to preach to the gentiles.

Frankly I don't quite get your question but Christianity was founded by it's FOUNDER, Jesus Christ. Paul was later chosen to be an "Apostle to the Nations". If Paul had been the founder of Christianity why isn't it called "Paulinanity" or something like that. Why would Paul in all of his letters to the early congregations encourage them to strengthen their faith in Jesus and his resurrection and to adhere to his teachings.
