Paul is a repentent sinner. He did have issues. He was able to redeem himself.
In that sense he is a model for all of us.
you don't believe in repentance and salvation?
and you are in a scold about why you choose to love Saint Paul?
Maybe someday you will have less of a hard heart.
I went through a similar phase about Paul. Somewhere on my path I realized that he was repentant and I forgive him, not that he needed me to, I needed to do it.
you're using a different set of assumptions.
the Temple, and the hypocrites who ran it, was destroyed. The treasures were brought to Rome. Unfortunatly for the people of The Levant, if they were temple people of that temple, they were also told to leave and to not reside more than, I want to say 90 miles, but it might be 70 miles.
the Romans had had enough. The people of that region proved themselves ingratful and the Roman's were tired of rebellion.
should they have gone as far as they did? Historians lately just villify them. There were not a lot of heroes in those days. Clearly what happened to those people was extreme, and most of them didn't deserve it.
but out of all that who was out spreading a message that people can work together, Paul.
He said 'you don't need to be circumsized to be a Christian' becuase that was being used to keep people out of the groups.
believe what you want. History has many different stories of a lot of different events, many are ambiguous, like the meaning of photos on a web page.
Without St Paul the Christian message maybe wouldn't have gone as far as it did.
