I question how many people realize that Paul is YOUR apostle. Sent from the risen Jesus Christ himself to us gentiles. "For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office" Romans 11:13 "For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen(or the Gentiles), and they unto the circumcision(jews)." It amazes me how many people fail to see how that we are to follow Paul's doctrine as for us gentiles today as laid out in Romans-Philemon. "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."(thats Paul speaking) 1 Corinthians 11:1
