<<<”I will admit, I am not an English major... but I am hard pressed to find where Paul claimed he went about setting up his own churches. As I said before, Christ said He will build His Church. There is no contradiction in the Pauline Epistles with this view.”>>>
If Paul did not set up Churches in the following then who did? These Epistles were sent to the supporters and believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. These believers formed the Churches in the following:
I Thessalonians.
II Thessalonians
Galatians
I Corinthians.
II Corinthians
Romans.
Colossians
Ephesians
many churches, one Church, one faith, one truth. If the individual churches began to teach a doctrine other than what Paul had left with them, he corrected them.
