Stan...you really can't say his life was well documented because there are NO known writings that were done during his actual lifetime.

Christianity was in existence before Paul started writing and evangelizing, but it was pretty much a sect of Judaism and might very well have remained so if Paul had not recruited Gentiles and eliminated the rules that kept the two religions so tightly bound. Like the dietary requirements and especially the circumcision requirement.

Paul "says" he met Jesus, how do we verify something like that? Pat Robertson makes tsunami predictions because he says he hears from God, but I'm skeptical of him. John Smith talked to God I think. He created a whole new "sect" of Christianity, called Mormon....is he right?
