Of course he was...everything Jesus worked so hard to teach was derailed by Paul. Don't believe me? I can cite you from the Holy Bible all the derailing Paul did.

Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day--Paul said it was not necessary.

Jesus said he did not come to destroy the law nor the prophets--Paul said to nail the law to the cross and even called it a "curse".

Jesus said to keep the commandments to enter heaven--Paul said you must believe in the blood to be saved.

Jesus said we will be judged according to our works--Paul said works are of no concern, but faith alone is what is needed...

And countless other teachings of Jesus that Paul derailed. Jesus even warned of the likes of Paul, but as to be expected, the Bible thumpers refuse to see:

Matthew 5:18-20
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Notice Jesus said not one single jot shall pass from the law, yet Paul derailed the entire law by calling it a curse and nailing it to the cross! And Jesus goes on to say that whoever teaches these things shall be called the least in heaven. Did not Paul teach men that circumcision is not necessary (law)? Did not Paul teach that clean or unclean food are of no concern (law)? Did not Paul teach that only faith was necessary as opposed to the 10 commandments (law)? So why do you Bible thumpers refuse to attribute this prophecy Jesus made? Was Jesus simply pulling a fast one on us? Of course not! So I'm asking my Hot Gospeler friends, who is Jesus speaking of in this prophecy? To whom does it apply then?

It is obvious it is to Paul. And in verse 20 Jesus basically says unless you are better than the Jew there is no heaven for you...so how can you be better than the Jew by not following the law and the commandments?
