The only people offended with Paul were the religious people. Jesus offended the religious people. Telling the pharisees their father was the devil doesn't win too many friends or influence.

That is the most ridiculous misrepresentation of Paul. He rebuked the Corinthian and Galatian churches because of doctrinal error. But he was THEIR apostle responsible for bringing them into the Gospel.
I am amazed that you simply ignore "must not strive, but be gentle, apt to teach, and patient." Based on your premise, Paul must have lied.
The vast majority of Paul's writings are gentle and instructive.
EVERYTHING he wrote was to religious people.
When Paul talked harshly to the high priest, he apologized upon realizing what he had done.
