If not, why do they follow Paul?

Is it sad to anyone else that someone validates Paul using Paul's writings?

I bet you could get SOME to follow you...and, over time, if some of those people became wealthy and attained positions of power, then more and more people would notice that and begin to listen to your words...then maybe if that group got big enough they would go overseas and kill some people and spread your word...and when those people overseas saw how rich and powerful your followers were they'd probably convert too...pretty soon you'd have a major world religion.

Pauls message is that of truth and certainly not against that of Jesus. Just a thought to you... Christians first follow the Holy Ghost within them and then look to the Word for further knowledge. The problem is that we do not have many true Christians in this day.

No. Christians don't rely on Paul. Remember the Holy Spirit. We know what Paul said is true because of the Holy Spirit. Many Christians have experienced the Holy Spirit (not emotions or special effects!).

Because he didn't use the word hallucinate and he was convinced he DID see a vision so he could argue it with an emotional commitment you or I can't match.
Any confidence man can tell you that you must be 100% committed to the lies you tell in order to convince others of your sincerity. The easiest way to do this is to actually believe what you are saying either through conscious or unconscious self-deception.

I would follow anyone who genuinely follows Jesus - ultimately, I follow Jesus anyway.
And, if it were a hallucination, only the ones not led by the Spirit would follow such a nut.
People followed Paul because He followed Christ.

Romans 13: Essentially the divine right of kings principle.
Paul -had- to be included because he made the Emperor God's chief representative on Earth.
He also provided a lot of the nuts and bolts rules for a faith that essentially had no rules.

Paul was during the biblical time..before the bible said nothing is to be added to this book...so it closes it off to new leaders and new ideas...so the next person of importance will be the anti-christ

Nope.
We wouldn't follow you.
Paul did not hallucinate, and his teachings were inspired by Jesus, thereby making his teachings Jesus'.
More specifically, the Bible warns us against following just any dumb a**.
