I don’t dismiss St. Paul. I just don’t like him. Or much of what he wrote.
I like John of Patmos and what he wrote even less.
I don't blame you...Paul brings the hammer down on the Catholic church...
Just as the Gospels are God breathed words written to the Jewish people to reveal the Messiah and His Kingdom to them before the Crucifixion, Paul's epistles are the God breathed words written to the Gentiles (and everyone else) to reveal their (our) opportunity for salvation and the formation and operation of the churches after the Crucifixion and Resurrection...
I never heard of a Christian that didn't like Paul or what Jesus showed him to tell us...
Then you're essentially saying that you don't like what God had put in the Bible, or your church fathers either.
2 Peter 3:15-16 15Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
