They were both great men and followers of Jesus. Mainstream Christianity sees Peter as the Rock of the church. But it was Paul who wrote most of the New Testament and brought the Faith out of Jerusalem and into the world, planting dozens of churches all the way to Rome. His contributions were so overwhelming that some historians practically consider him as the founder of Christianity.

∙ 11y agoNo, they are two distinctly different people.
Paul was raised as a pharisee from Tarsus (Philippians 3:3-6)(Galatians 1:13-16) (Acts 22:1-11)
Peter (also called 'Cephas' and 'Simon') was a fisherman, along with Andrew his brother(Matthew 4:18+19/Luke 6:14), and they were both disciples of Jesus during the time when Paul was actively persecuting Christians before his conversion. (Matthew 10:2-4)
Later, after Paul's conversion to Christianity, he became very active in the ministry and was used to help form congregations, and clear up problems that arose, even correcting Peter at one point(Galatians 2:11+12)

Why is Paul second to Jesus?
Paul is subordinate to Jesus because Paul is a person, & Jesus is God. No one or no thing is superior to God.AnswerIt is not correct to assume that Paul is second to Jesus, in reality Peter was second to Jesus and Paul was second to Peter. If you read closely the final passages of the Bible you may note that Jesus says: "Peter onto you I shall build my church..." or something of the sort, this entitled Peter as the first of popes. Thus Peter was in fact superior to Paul. Nonetheless Paul had a powerfull and everlasting impact on Catholics and Christians around the world.
