he called John Mark a mamas boy.
He is also responsible for changing the course of Western Civilization.
Paul was neither Meek nor Gentle. Paul was in my estimation a guy so confident that he was right, that he would stand at nothing to achieve his goal. He was put off by those that were not as committed as himself, he hated hypocracy (especially in the ministry) but he also subjected himself to his leadership and he was full of compassion for a lost and dying world.

i agree that all of us have our own perceptions of Paul but the fact is we dont have enough of the specific details to know how all of this transpired and was handled, what ever his temperament, he was a powerful man of the spirit, who had great passion for the work of god, dt
