I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people criticize Paul the apostle. Liberals love to target him. Yet, you will not hear those same people criticize other apostles or prophets! However, this is not new,

I have become a fool in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing. Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds. For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong! (2 Corinthians 12.11–13). 

Look, even in the first century, in fact, even in a congregation that he started, people had problems accepting his apostleship! Yet, he had done miracles in their presence, establishing him as an official representative of Jesus Christ.

What do you think of Paul?
