Saul, called Paul.
it's not my opinion that the OP is challenging the authority of any of the scriptures Paul wrote.

yeah i call him Paul too.
contextually, in Romans, the case that all mankind - Paul/Saul included - is guilty of sin and that no one can stand before Him apart from grace through faith: no flesh is justified by works; all have sin. the lie? sin itself is the lie; the lie is that anyone is not guilty or has excuse. the original lie, metastasized in every human. and any contradiction of that gospel, which is that Jesus the Christ has freely given this mercy, is an instance of that lie, accusing God of evil.
You can't tell some one who has made it their prerogative to denounce Paul, that Paul wasn't really saying he lied. The text is clear. Paul admits to a lie. And that is a fact.
