Thus, to many of such as these, Jesus was a super David, excelling him in every way, and Paul was a super Jesus, excelling Him in every way, especially in instruction to Christians. Jesus was for the Jews only, according to this bunch. Paul was for the Christians and the whole world. It is Paul to whom Christians must turn, as long as they use the magic phrase "in Jesus' name". To their way of thinking, this preserves the illusion that they are still Christian.

I'd say your knowledge and belief of scripture is remarkably underwhelming...

Jesus was for the Jews only, according to this bunch.

You were shown the scripture...To deny the scripture is to call Jesus a liar...We should believe your religion instead of Jesus??? No thanks...

Jesus was for the Jews only, initially...

Paul was for the Christians and the whole world.

Paul was for Jesus...Paul was given the commission to bring the Gentiles into the church...

It is Paul to whom Christians must turn, as long as they use the magic phrase "in Jesus' name"

If you ever turn to Jesus (repent) and ask him to save you, and show you something, he'll remove the blinders from your eyes and give you spiritual understanding...

No one is instructed to turn to Paul...But in the church age, we are instructed to turn to Paul's message from Jesus Christ...

You guys don't pray in 'Jesus' name, do you???

Sometimes we need to pray to God...Do you think God hears your prayers???

1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, and that is his wife, mother, and daughter, Mary the man Christ Jesus;

Do you ever wonder why we need a mediator between us and God??? Do you ever wonder why God inspired over 30,000 verses of scripture to be put in His bible???

Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Apparently unbeknown to Catholics, we need to pray to God and ask it in Jesus' name...

Joh 16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
Joh 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
Joh 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Joh 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
Joh 16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

I'm sure that last one is way above your head so I won't go into it right now...

If you don't pray in Jesus' name, I don't see how God even hears your prayers...What a pity...

And apparently you don't have the slightest clue as to WHY we need to pray in Jesus' name...

Note the parts in bold. This is what you missed, leading you to believe that MarkBsnr was making claims that represented his own beliefs.
