Hi Truthlover
Can you maybe clarify a few things for me ?
You say 'The early churches didn't care about this.'
What churches didnt care about whether Paul met Christ or not?
You also said 'He met the twelve and was approved by them'
Which twelve did Paul meet?
Did they all approve of him or did some of them, such as James, have any issues with him?
You say 'he started MOST of the major churches of the Roman Empire'
In your opinion, what were the major churches in the Roman Empire and which ones did Paul start?
Did he start them or did he modify them ?
Also you say 'You may not agree with their opinion, but they were the ones who established the canon'
Who established the canon ?
Which particular canon, there were diferent ones.
Who wrote the gospels ?
You wont find a reputable scholar to agree that any of the apostles wrote any of the gospels.
'anything that Paul wrote was Gospel'
How many books or letters originally attributed to Paul are still attributed to him?
Are any of the Pastorals attributed to him, or is Hebrews still attributed to Paul?
The you say 'but Paul wrote more than Peter, so we have more from him. '
What an amazing piece of logic, you should be in the FBI.
Best Wishes
Brian.
