If Paul were a deceiver, then that would mean Jesus caused His own people to be misled for some 1900 years BY SCRIPTURE.
Which is what Satan wants all to believe.
Satan's Church is Christianity.
Critics of Paul are just anti-Christ that are too shrewd to openly frontally attack Jesus.

Currently you are too ignorant to be scared.
Paul has stood the test of time. You are comparatively as permanent as a snowflake....
and as significant as a dog barking in the night

Proverbs 12:15-20
15 The way of the fool is right in his own eyes, But the wise one accepts advice.
16 A fool immediately shows his annoyance, But the shrewd man overlooks an insult.
17 The one who testifies faithfully will tell the truth, But a false witness speaks deceit.
18 Thoughtless speech is like the stabs of a sword, But the tongue of the wise is a healing.
19 Truthful lips will endure forever, But a lying tongue will last for only a moment.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot mischief, But those who promote peace have joy.
Proverbs 16:32
32 The one slow to anger is better than a mighty man, And the one controlling his temper than one conquering a city.
Proverbs 29:9,11,20,23
9 When a wise man enters into a controversy with a fool, There will be ranting and ridicule, but no satisfaction.
11 A stupid person gives vent to all his feelings, But the wise one calmly keeps them in check.
20 Have you seen a man hasty with his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
23 The haughtiness of a man will humble him, But whoever is humble in spirit will obtain glory.
Matthew 18:4 (Jesus teaching)
4 Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one who is the greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens;
Proverbs 29:1
A man who stiffens his neck[Or “who remains stubborn.”] after much reproof
Will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
Psalm 32:9
9 Do not become like a horse or a mule, without understanding,
Whose spiritedness must be controlled with a bridle or a halter
Before it will come near to you.”

LOL....do you know what all the above verses describe? PAUL. How many times did Paul boast in himself? When did he accept advice? How many times did he lose his temper? He was "false witness" who majored in "deceit". He knew nothing of humility. The man was a chameleon who "became all things to all men", something Jesus never did, nor taught. Paul is the "broad path". Jesus is the narrow, that few will find.
Tell me when Paul did this..." A stupid person gives vent to all his feelings, But the wise one calmly keeps them in check."
Or... "Deceit is in the heart of those who plot mischief, But those who promote peace have joy." (so did Paul promote peace? No, and he definitely plotted mischief, by LYING about the true apostles and putting himself above them)...something none of you supporting him have been able to refute.
OR.... "Therefore, whoever will humble himself like this young child is the one who is the greatest in the Kingdom of the heavens"
While Paul taught to put "child like ways behind you".
Yea, all of those verses are the antithesis of Paul..Where is your logic, "Whereisyourlogic"?

That's an honorable profession...and I'm sure heartbreaking sometimes. You know, my grandmother was one of the kindest people I've ever known. She endured a horrible marriage to a very abusive man. She stayed with him...till he died. She wasn't a "Christian", though she saw God in everything around her. She didn't have a mean bone in her body. At the time of her death (about 5 years ago) I was still a full blown fundamental Christian. Much of my family was, as well.
We were all so worried that she would die without "accepting Jesus as her Lord and Savior". She was resuscitated several times while in the hospital. Both my mom and her sister couldn't let her go. My grandmother kept hanging in there, for them. At one point (after the resuscitated her), she opened her eye's and said, "oh! if I'd known how lovely and good it was over there, I wouldn't have been afraid". She asked for them not to bring her back if she went down again. She died with the most beautiful smile on her face. That was the first stage in my "journey" of asking questions. Much more would come.
Just as i've stated... The end
Not metaphorically speaking... and not some vision of doom
The end of Life... Literally
I work in Long term care... I stare death in the face on the regular
So If the Bible if fable, and historical fiction then you cannot even claim to follow Jesus because he was never real in your eyes. The Bible is false about his life historically and everything becomes allegorical and an invention of men.

The Bible is all about faith in God. If you don't then none of it matters.
