People actually believe that. Although they don't openly admit it right away.
I've talked with more then a few people now who think this way about Paul..
The problem and reason this line of thinking can develop with some people is because, Churches really don't get into much teachings of the Bible. And some of Paul's teachings they ignore; likely because it contradicts their own "church traditional " teachings ..
So its easier apparently to get people believing some writings in the Bible don't mater; and people buy into it hook line and sinker .
I have heard this argument not just with Paul's writings , but also Revelation or Isaiah or Daniel . There are people out there, Christian and non believer alike ,that have a bad habit of trying to tare down God's words.
Anyone that says the Bible does not matter or it does not matter to read Revelation its past, or this or that, i would mark them because they are basically saying they know more then God does.
Paul - Acts 9: 1- 31 .

A example for what i was saying in my post just below: take Paul's Second Letter to the Thessalonians ; it Contradicts " the rapture theory " and blows it totally out of the water.
So instead of throwing the rapture teaching out, they rather teach people to throw Paul a apostle who Christ chose, and his writings out...
Some people here may believe rapture written but it does not aline with the order of things written .
But that teachings developed in much the same way that, people don't want Paul in the scriptures. If scripture is neglected and left out, you can have a traditional church teaching in its place. This is whats done in mass now a days.

And to add. With enough time, teaching a traditional church teaching , over and over again, that becomes the truth in the minds of people, they being to believe its actually written . And its just ends up being a lie. But people cant seem to tell the difference because they wont study the Bible themselves
( Often because people do not study for themselves . Nor check out who or what they are being taught . Weather or not its written or some one is just blowing hot air for a hour everyday?
After all, The majority teaches something, ( a tradition of men )and believes it, so it must be true,. Why bother doing any work, after all so many people could not possibly be wrong. ?

Of course people have. Have you not read the content of the posts? Many believers have suffered great anguish on this theme and they have come to discuss it and help each other on the theme. I went through my own period of wondering about Paul's credentials since the only writings about his authenticity were from him and Luke. He was not prophesied in the Word previously, so these two facts, alone, are enough to seed doubt.
This thread serves to exhort and alleviate the fears and doubts of some. So, why are you surprised? Or is your question from humility? If the latter, for give what I have said if it offends. It should not, but I can see how it may for some.

I'm not sure, but do you also think that Paul does not belong in the Bible ?
That mystery I guess your referring to 1 cor 15 ? It was simply there was going to be a change of bodies to a flesh body, into a angelic body ( At Christ return to this earth as King of kinds and Lord of lords..
Christ taught this change in ( Mark 12:25 ) Christ also taught this fact with His very resurrection from death. Remember the mount of transfiguration ? Where Christ illustrated this change . These earthly body, cannot inherit the Kingdom of heaven ( Psalm 16:10-11 )
If you believe Christ died and rose again, so you should also know, that mystery to some, and believe it. Its only a mystery to those that really don't care and don't believe. Christ chose Paul so Paul belongs.

I was responding to someone who said he checked up on Paul by seeing what Jesus said.
Paul taught the mystery of the Church, that gentiles would be fellowheirs...etc something Jesus didnt teach.
My point was that Pauls writings cannot be proofread by Jesus writings.
Of coarse I believe Paul writings should be in scripture..on the same level as Jesus, since both authored by God.

But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:11,12
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began. Romans 16:25
Paul's gospel was the preaching of Jesus Christ given by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;. . . .Ephesians 3:3
Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Colossians 1:25-27
Remember Christ's prayer in John 17. . . And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. . . . .Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
And through the holy spirit. . . we are one with God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. So that prayer was answered and was given to Paul by revelation to reveal to us. . .the mystery. . .God was in Christ. . .Christ is in us. . . God in Christ is us!
False prophet? I don't think so.
