If not, why do you believe Paul?

Wait.....Paul is an apostle of Jesus because a book with a large part written by Paul said he was? Oh this is good stuff.....
So do I just need to write a book saying I'm an apostle of Jesus, and then people 2000 years from now will believe it?

Gullible people like to think there's more truth in something that's really archaic like Xianity and Islam - really really gullible people trust newer religions like Scientology.
You'd need buku charisma and scamming abilities to get a new religion going.
There's really good money to be made from religion - Pushing it or Treating it - IF you can keep a straight face.
Good luck.

If you read the new testament you will see that the Holy Spirit was available to those that were following the Judaic laws and circumcision and to the Gentiles IF they dedicated their lives to God and followed Jesus. Christians that truly love God and want to do his will are going to follow the 10 commandments etc. but the dietary laws and other laws were laid out to the Jews only. Peter's vision in Acts 10 talks about what is clean and what is not so the Gentile believers were not forced to follow the Judaic laws. Many of the Jewish laws that were added beyond the 10 commandments were added by men and not God and Jesus often pointed out they were missing the reason and relationship of God's purpose. There are about 100,000 Messianic Jews (Jews that believe Jesus was the messiah) that still follow the Judaic laws today.

as the end part of the details explains well you are going to have to wait. You need a core of about 20 very suicidal types that would die for your idea. They cant be all scruffy I mean clean cut corporate types that given up thier vp status in some good companies. Hopefully they are in advertising that would speed things up alot!!
Christians wont convert and will likely ridicule you getting you more fans for being the caring but crapped upon religion.

Hallucination is different to vision... Hallucination makes me think magic mushies, and not a spiritual experience...
Paul's doctrine is not different from Jesus's however he was dealing with issues in the church quite frequently...

Because Paul was an apostle called by Jesus, as the bible tells us.
You're not in the bible. The donkey is though.

NO.
I believe Paul just like I believe Peter and James and John. They all dovetail into the same glorification of Jesus Christ. They all make Him Lord and savior.

Maybe walk beside you (I stress "maybe") walking behind your rear could prove dangerous. But if you were having hallucinations I would advice you to seek a mental health professional or ease up on your meds...
