I’m saying that Paul did not place himself above St. Peter. He put himself at the end, not in front of the Apostles.

Interesting. What do you think he meant when he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write this:

"For I speak to yo Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE.:" Rom. 11:13.

And this:

"According to the GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO ME, as a wise masterbuilder, I HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATION, and another buildeth thereon.. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon." 1 Cor.3:10. He is saying that he laid the foundation for the Grace of God that was given to HIM. He is not saying that he is building upon the foundation of the Kingdom Gospel that was entrusted to Peter and the 11.

Do you think he was inspired to write these words? Or a nutjob who wanted to take the credit for what Peter and the 11 were doing?
