These are Jesus Christ's own words concerning Paul. ( They are probably in red in your BIble). I'm sure He is not concerned about your opinion of Paul as much as He is concerned about the message He gave Paul to give you.

That is correct - it is red. However, the question has been asked before this whether Paul is a real Apostle (as in the 12), or a named person of the Lord such as in the OT?

The Church is clear in its teaching - that Paul is as great an Apostle as Peter. However, the Bible does not quite grant that - Paul does not have the same qualifications as those who spent 3 years with Jesus, and if you read his epistles, he has a great sense of inferiority because of that.

Hi Mark! If you would try to understand rightly dividing the word of truth, and Paul’s calling, you would change your mind about this. No, Paul is not one of the 12. And there is a reason for that. The Church the Body of Christ depends on it as a matter of fact.

Or was it that Matthias, whose name is heard on one occassion and never again, was not the choice of the Lord and was mistakenly chosen by the Apostles?

ACTS 1:26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthi'as; and he was enrolled with the eleven apostles.
