Yet your post gives the indication that you do not equate Paul with the other writers of the bible. It is not uncommon for folks not to like Paul as he doesn't pull his punches.
Paul was undoubtedly a legalist among legalists before he received the wondrous grace of God in Jesus Christ. Paul then became the greatest advocate for mercy and grace.
Those who love legalism often adorn themselves with the trappings of Judaism. These measure their spirituality by how well they keep the law.

I think the resistance is not so much to Paul as to the fact that: I give my opinion here or, I think I have the mind of God on this - is not scripture in the mind of some.
