Who is Paul of The Bible?

Paul was: - first called Saul in the Bible (Acts) - the Saul that watched the stoning of Stephen (one of Jesus' disciples) (Acts 7:58) - one that was persecuting the church b…efore he was saved (Acts 7:58- 9:31) - Saul was also called Paul (see Acts 13:9) Paul was a man who very faithfully spread the word of God throughout the nations. (Separate answer) Paul (Saul of Tarsus) was a pharisee who was at times a chief scribe for Annus and perhaps Caiphus. He persecuted the people of the New Jewish /Christian movement violently, by his own admission. He supposedly had a miraculous conversion on the road to Damascus, in Syria, where he saw and spoke to Jesus. After this he began to preach the gospel throughout Greece, Turkey and much of the Empire. There is much controversy around the story and the man. James brother of Jesus) and Peter both agreed his ministry might work well for the polytheistic Greeks, but they also both believed many of Paul's teachings, like faith without works, were contrary to Jesus' teachings. In Peter and James writings they quite often contradict things written by Paul to the various churches and in Acts, they both have accounted disagreements with him. It is now widely considered that about half of the writings attributed to Paul, may have been written by someone else because of Paul's contradictions with his own teachings. Also the contradictions of Paul may be explained by the fact that he gave certain instructions to one church at one time and different ones to another because of any particular issues unique to that church. in any case, most of the writings of Paul were geared to only those churches and only that time period and not for the ages. Other than Paul's own claim that he was commissioned by Jesus, there is no proof at all that he was. Whereas there was proof in the form of many witnesses that he left the ministry to primarily Peter and secondarily to his younger brother, James. Additional material In addition to the above there are also actually some good points about Paul that may balance out the (almost!) character assassination above. Whereas all of the above is absolutely true, one must never forget that Paul was also a very learned man in theology - taught by the great Gamaliel, despite being a common tradesman - a tent maker - by profession. He was instrumental in founding many churches across the Roman Empire thanks to several missionary journeys where he was attacked, imprisoned, beaten up and even shipwrecked. His letters to the churches that he founded (and some that he didn't found) are still held up as masterpieces of theology, teaching, encouragement and sometimes chastisement despite there being (very very few) inconsistencies across some of the letters - inconsistencies that some scholars have put down to Paul maturing in his theology in later years or in adapting his theology to suit particular societies at particular times. Paul suffered a great deal for his faith, suffering even to the point of execution in Rome (by beheading with a sword rather than crucifixion as he was a Roman citizen as well as a Jew). Therefore his conversion on the Damascus Road was not, as a result, a 'supposed' meeting with Christ, but the evidence points to a real, life-changing experience that affected Paul so much that he gave up everything - his livelihood, his standing in society, his Jewishness, his friends and colleagues, his freedom and even his life in order that his Lord should be honoured and followed.
