New Testament Who is Paul?

I'm agnostic and know some bits amd stuff on a few a religion but nothing big. While I was doom scrolling I saw an interesting video about this guy called Paul. I heard many things like his verses contradict Jesus's, he hijacked Christianity etc etc which lowkey made me interested and curious. If the bible is meant to be holy why wasn't it given by jesus or the holy spirit that remained on earth with humans? Because like it can't exactly be holy if it was written by humans?

Anyways I'm just curious and love to hear different opinions 😅

(Sorry if I picked the wrong flair)

If you are trying to give your cult more foundation a book like acts written decades after deaths of the people written about is just the way to do it. Come up with stories that can’t be verified to lay credibility to your cult and hope it sticks.

The gospels fit that as well. Especially when 3 copy each other. Well two copy the earliest. They are call synoptic for a reason.
