It's nearly certain, though, that there would be no Christianity without Paul's efforts.
I agree, he did both.

I think God chooses is own vessel. If Paul were no available, somebody else would have been.
Nonsense. Nobody *invented* Christianity.
The gospel is the good news of salvation offered to mankind by a loving God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Any religious system invented is the creation of man and does not contribute at all to one’s salvation.
*Christianity* as we have come to know it, is more *churchianity* than anything resembling what happened in the book of Acts in the NT.
