...And, he is no St. He is just a saint, like you or I...

Really? You place yourself on the same level as St Paul, who had the great privilege of hearing directly from Our Lord and then evangelizing for Him so well on person and in writing that his words have been recognized as divinely inspired? I'm not sure I've ever encountered such monumental egotism. When were your writings incorporated into the New Testament?

"I'm not sure I've ever encountered such monumental egotism."

Sorry for the delayed response...had to work late. But, yes, absolutely, I would place myself (and every believer) on the same level as Paul. I don't claim to have the same appointment as Paul (he was charged from his mother's womb to be an apostle; I was not), but I too am a sinner rescued by grace, through faith, and that not of myself...it is all a gift, not from anything I have done, lest I boast. And, I notice Paul says the same thing...

You, OTOH, are the one apparently hung on status because you call him "St." with a capital S. But, God is not a respecter of individuals the way you are. And, tragically, your remarks belie a gross misunderstanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and perhaps the largest of egos.
