He does? Saul was not a desciple of Jesus. He did not attend Jesus' sermons. He not only never even met Jesus, but he persecuted those who followed Jesus. How is it, again, that he speaks for Jesus?
If that is all you see, you have not read much of the Bible.
Quickly: Paul was considered by some a profit and apostle. Some consider him neither. Look to the holy spirit to guide you and you can't go wrong.
Seems to me that if one truly respects Jesus, one would honor Him by figuring he was a sharp enough to know what was important and what was just the stuff of social convention. If the Son of God is so incapable of prioritizing, then who among us should really follow suit. eh?
That is so distorted it's not even funny.
He knew what was coming, he knows what has been. Jesus never interfered in politics either (for example,) because his teachings were about spiritual salvation, no political subjects. Nor where they about worldly wants outside of what we need. His law is a spiritual guide to salvation as is Paul's teaching.
