Pretty much, especially since he managed to deify the radical rabbi Jesus in pop culture.

Since Paul was alive and adult at the same time Jesus taught, I find it hard to believe he lived another 90 years, which would have made him 120 - 130 years old. Men at that time didn't live real long, so I find this very hard to believe. I would suggest you might want to do a bit more homework. Peter and Paul argued a lot, and I personally think fighting between two 120 year old men would have been something to watch.

Ninety years? Not quite. Paul's conversion took place in about 35 AD, which means that he would have been about the same age as Jesus's disciples. He actually KNEW several of the apostles, and checked what he believed against what THEY believed. There were few things that they disagreed on.
Even Paul's books were written between 55 AD (which is when the earliest book of the New Testament, Mark, was written) and around 95 AD (which is when the final book of the New Testament, Revelations, was written).
Apply this information to your question, and please try again.

Paul was continuing the ministry which is the Word of God then as it is today! Praise the Lord!
I am a witness for the Almighty God by my sharing His word with others today. What's your point?
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Mark 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Paul was supposedly born and raised in the city of Tarsus, a region in SE Asia-Minor (now called Turkey) where Mithras was well known. Biblical scholars are now saying that Paul, the alleged author of 13 out of the 27 (maybe more) books of the New Testament, may have been influenced in his writings by this strong religion of Mithraism. We can see a profound kinship between Mithraism and Christianity.
To quote Danielle - "I firmly believe Paul took the teachings of an Essene rabbi called Jesus and rearranged them to fit the Mithras mythology. There were many wannabe messiahs around the time of Jesus; the man who could establish a religion based on a "real" messiah would be a very powerful and respected man, which Paul apparently wanted to be.
The fact that Paul never met Jesus, and that Jesus never foretold Paul's appearance (unless it was included in his warning about deceivers that would fool "the very elect"), should be proof that Paul had no authority in real Christianity. "

Paul lived at the same time as Jesus.He probably was one of those who wanted to stone him at the time.Jesus died and raised 33 AD.Paul's first book was written to the Thessalonians about 55 AD.Paul and Peter were in the same areas.In fact Paul had to correct Peter,read that in Galatians.(He calls him Cephas his nickname meaning "Rock".)

The words and teachings of Paul are the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and as such are the word of God.

Paul was a contemporary of Jesus. See Acts 7:58 (he was known as Saul in those days).

Re-check your facts.
Paul's writings were inspired by God. And yes, Jesus is God.
Moreover, they both walked this earth at the same time.
Where do you get 90 years from anyway?

No the Consoler sent by Jesus from the Father to be the "soul" of the Catholic Church.
He's name is the Holy Spirit.
