One thing I've wondered about Church Christianity is when the words or Paul contridict with the teachings of Jesus, they seem to reject Jesus and take the words of Paul?
Jesus taught to sinners. I would argue that Judas wasn't a great example of someone who was free of sin.
It's too easy just to be like "Oh, Paul wrote the word of God" when he wrote his letters so Paul is equivalent to Jesus, and I think it is a logical error. We might as well be building altars and worshipping Paul if we are just going to reject Jesus.
My personal opinion is that Paul corrupted Christianity and led the religion astray.
Is Paul equivalent to Jesus? If not then how do you explain the many many contradictions between their writing and teachings? Either the word of Jesus was the word or God or the word of Paul was? They can't both be true.
This is why I reject Paul's writings almost entirely in my path, and I definately don't do what the Church does and prioritize above the teachings of Jesus when they do contridict.
This thread I am looking for a respectful debate.

No, I've read the Bible.
Jesus did call hypocritical Christians using his name in vain and disobeying his commands sinners, he never called Homosexuals, prostitutes, the same people who Christians hyperfocused on as being sinners.
He did say not to judge, but unless you can actually understand the inner mysteries of his words and parables, it kind of accounted to "don't be a peepee".
I find it sad that people needed a messiah to tell people "hey, just don't be a peepee" and they can't even do that.
