Are you a christian? What is it that lead you to believe Paul is a false apostle? This is the same conclusion I have come to.
Not OP, but if read what Paul wrote, it's a whole lot different from what Jesus said.
He also begins laying down rules of do and don't, reward and punishment, which arguably is what Jesus' blood sacrifice was supposed to move us away from.
It's the same tit-for-tat codification of behavior that you see in Judasim and Islam. And it's very telling that most (all?) of the objections non-Christians have to Christianity stem from either the Old Testament or St. Paul. Why are all those problems from sections of the Bible that don't involve Jesus directly?
The reason Paul had to start spelling out some rules is only because Christianity was spreading far and wide. Some distant groups were coming up with their own heresies and rules, so Paul was instructing the fellow apostles on what to do.
