And because he was not one of the twelve, he had to overcome the inclination people had to think of Peter, James and John as the REAL rock stars of the early Church. This type of thing is quite evident in his letter to the Galatians.
Sounds like he lack skills, which makes him incompetent and should easily be dismissed for having anything to do with the new testament. And he's the servant of god that we base letters off that is what most moral claims and teachings that most christians usually follow by. Don't people see something wrong with that?. Like homophobia, sexual restrictions, women's role (Women's role, which now some believe to be a forgery. But that didn't stop people in the past.)
If he's speaking on behalf of god he seems to be the worst example apparently. Why not get the eyewitnesses instead? Unless there is a reason why he can't- Afterall the gospels are not written by eyewitnesses.
