There were thousands of early christian writings circulating at the time (and fierce christian competition), and the infallible Catholic bishops just happen to like what Paul wrote.

Peter and the different apostles formally known Paul and his teachings. That replaced into easily in preserving with the authority that Jesus gave to Peter, to the different apostles, and to the Church that he based. Paul replaced into the God chosen catalyst for early Christianity. He wasn't a faux instructor. the different apostles and the Holy Spirit made constructive of that.

kittykat's definition confirms it. Paul was a false prophet. For all of his followers' protestations, Paul's writings do lead people away from what Jesus said.

You're right but Paul doesn't meet Jesus definition of a false prophet.
Jesus also mentioned John the Baptist but we don't believe Paul was John the Baptist just because Jesus mentioned him.

Have you ever wondered why 'First' came the flood and after, God sent His Son? Why not send His Son 'first'? Think about it....The world was evil and God chose to flood it and start all over again with Noah and his family. Then God promises to never flood the world again. As a symbol of the promise, God gave us the 'Rainbow'.....Centuries later, the world is again evil and this time, God sends His Son. Why did God choose to do it this way? In this order? ......Besides continuing the bloodline, can you think of any other reason? I am not sure if others will understand how this answers your question, just something God put on my heart to answer to you. Think upon it ,and it will answer your question.
God Bless You....Peace.

OK - let me get this straight.
We should listen to a donkey and disregard the teachings of the Apostle Paul, even though he was approved by the church at Jerusalem (Acts 15) with all the apostles, personally endorsed by the Apostle Peter (II Peter chapter 3), and recognized by all the early church Fathers as the apostle to the Gentiles?

Because everything Paul said and did testified of Jesus Christ. The old Testament also makes mention time and time again about Jesus. It tells of how He will be born, and that He will die. It doesn't mention His name, but it does say a Savior.

You take on the name sake of an apostate prophet yourself, yet you expect to be a credible witness of who is, and who is not a faithful witness of Jesus Christ?

Oh! How can you read about Paul and miss that Jesus appeared to and spoke to Paul. Now the credibility of your question has ceased with this Scripture:
Acts chapter 9
vs 4 And he (the apostle Paul - AKA Saul of Tarsus) fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
vs 5 And he (Paul) said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

If you believe that then you have not read The Holy Bible account of Saul of Tarsus' conversion to Paul. Who do you think Paul spent four years in the Arabian desert with after his conversion?

False prophets lead you away from the teaching of Christ. Paul doesn't do that.
