Christians believe that the Bible that holy men wrote wrote the Bible as God directed them to do it. Paul was one of those people.
So did Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James and Jude in the New Testament. And many others in the Old Testament.
Over 40 people contributed to the writing of the Bible, all of which is the word of God.
Paul is no more the "god of this world" then any of the other Bible authors.

Yeah, but as always, they simply ignore the parts they don't like, or find some sleazy Sunday School equivocation for them. E.g. "Paul's" infamous Letter to Timothy in which he puts the smack-down on women (never mind that most legitmate scholars agree that this and other Letters were almost certainly not written by Paul - they're in the Canon and are therefore God's Word).
Look, if "Christians" want to make outrageous, antecedently absurd assertions about their holy texts, fine; but they should be held to them. If the Bible is the inspired Word, then women should shut up in Church and submit themselves utterly to their husbands. Oh, and go ahead and hate gay people based on Romans, but don't imagine that that passage is any more important than all the others that you find less pleasant. If you buy it, you buy the WHOLE thing, or you're simply a greasy hypocrite.

Yes.
Paul is not God. He was God's servant.
There are some areas of the New Testament that seem surprising or unclear or contradictory. HOWEVER, this is oftentimes or sometimes because the passage in question is taken out of context. In other situations, it's can be hard to understand what he is saying because of the time and culture gap. Other times, it can be just plain confusing at first.
If you are truly seeking truth in these matters and do not simply hate Christians, then I would like to ask you speak to someone- a pastor or other clergymen- in person about these matters.
It angers me that so many non-Christians have been burned or hurt by people who call themselves Christians. These people are either not truly Christians, or at a very infant-like stage in their walk with Jesus. They don't understand that what they are doing isn't What Jesus Would Do. That they are actually being a hindrance. If you are one of these people who have been hurt or burned, please understand that the actions of the person (or people) who hurt you are not representative of all Christians.
Thank you.

That became into not a query, that became right into a rant. You err in notably much each and every sentence. quickly, there is further and extra suitable manuscript info for the dying and resurrection of Jesus Christ than for the different very own experience in historical history. So, the extra you criticize the Bible the extra you're logically forced to disclaim any certainty of historical history. for sure, you will not tolerate the Bible. it is curious, because of the fact the Bible is the classic of Western literature. One does not choose a classic. One is judged by applying the classic. I upload extra to my understanding extra approximately you by applying your criticism than I upload to my understanding appropriate to the Bible. Do somewhat extra study and serious questioning, those will fairly help. The Gospels at the instant are not dated by applying their authors, and basically a number of the activities in any Gospel could be dated with one hundred% accuracy. In different words, to assert that the beginning of Jesus is dated 10 years aside by applying the authors is absurd and it represents bigotry not scholarship. there are various obvious contradictions interior the Bible, however the overwhelming majority have fairly elementary and intensely logical reasons that eliminate the comprehensive contradiction. different obvious contradictions take somewhat extra study with a view to understand the shortcoming of actual contradiction. interior the tip, you're a bigot and not a pupil, much less a pupil.

Sounds almost accurate, but we have to throw in all the other gods who helped compose the bible. After all, it is their inspired words also.
People don't realize that if a god actually did tell them what to write, then it would be coherent and truthful. I know of no all knowing god that would say a person dead for 4 years was mad when the wise men he sent to find a baby found the baby and neglected for report back to him. As I understand it, dead people aren't alive. I'm sure god would not have made that mistake. People who didn't know Herod was dead then... well, they may decide to write him in as an antagonist for their stories, seeing as to how they thought no one would be able to catch them...

Paul had some good councel for all of us and he himself said it was not from him but from God. He wrote as he was born along by holy spirit. He never said he was the God of this world but that Satan was the god of this wicked world.
They called Satan a god because he was worshipped.
