Best Answer

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.

Paul is considered second to Jesus because of his influential role in spreading and interpreting the teachings of Jesus. He was a prominent early Christian leader and his letters (epistles) are an important part of the New Testament. Paul's writings helped shape the early Christian church and continue to be studied and followed by Christians worldwide.
