Paul of Tarsus is a bigot and should be as revered as he is.

You posted: "I believe that Paul of Tarsus was a bigot. In his letters he states that wifes should treat there husbands as we treat jesus because as jesus is the head of the church a husband is the head of the wife." The one thing you are neglecting is that Paul also stated that the husband should love the wife as Jesus loves the church. Jesus sacrificed himself for the church to make it "unblemished...holy and blameless" to present to himself with a perfect church. A husband who loves his wife as Christ loves the church will immolate Christ, sacrificing himself for her in all ways. What wife would not desire to submit herself to a husband who would make the ultimate sacrifice for her. A husband will unite with a woman becoming one flesh, thus the woman is only submitting to a unified flesh. In reality submitting to herself. Paul also states that a wife must respect her husband for this unity to take place. Bigotry is defined as stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own. If a woman and man become one flesh as Paul decrees, then their own creeds, beliefs, or opinions can not differ. You posted: "Now correct me if im wrong but doesnt christianity teach equality... That seems slightly sexist." No Christianity does not teach equality between the sexes, each has their own role to fulfill. A man is the head of the house hold and only men are allowed to be leaders in the church. Women according to David, should watch over the affairs of the house hold and see to the day to day needs of her family. You posted: "Also he was not an apostle chosen by god, but a self appointed one." Apostle is defined as any of the early followers of Jesus who carried the Christian message into the world.(this is the first definition at dictionary.com) It is easily shown that Paul carried the Christian message into the world. Paul did spread the message of Christianity, he preached in Jerusalem and throughout the Roman empire. He spread the message in Antioch, Judea, and Cyprus to name a few. He definitely meets the definition of an apostle. In addition to spreading the message Paul performed miracles. 1- Paul cured of blindness, Vision of Ananias, Acts 9 2- Strikes Elymas (Bar-Jesus) with blindness, Acts 13 3- Heals a cripple, Acts 14 4- Throws out an evil spirit, Acts 16 5- Paul and Silas delivered from jail, Acts 16 6- Paul cures sick people, even touching his handkerchiefs, Acts 19 7- Paul Raises Eutychius to life, Acts 20 8- Paul Shakes a viper off his hand and is unharmed, Acts 28 9- Paul heals the father of Publius of Dysentery, Acts 28 10- Paul heals the sick of Malta, Acts 28 The power to fulfill these miracles is attributed to God. You posted: "In Ephesians, paul says that slaves should be completely subservient to thier masters, some say that slaves actually refers to an employee." Paul was addressing slaves and masters in the time and culture in which he lived. Slavery was a fact of life and to promote the civil treatment of the slaves Paul stated, "masters, do not threaten your slaves since you know that He who is both their master and yours is in heaven and there in no favoritism with him." Thus Paul was promoting equality of masters and slaves. There were a great number of both slaves and masters who were new Christians and needed guidance as there was no written word at the time. Paul along with the other apostles spread the word as well as provided guidance to these new and often confused Christians.
