The work of Paul for the development of Christianity cannot be overestimated . Not only do the Acts write about it , his letters are a main part of the New Testament , and the Gospel of St Luke follows him , Eusebius wrote that Luke ’ s Gospel gave a truthful account of what he had gathered
from the conversation with Paul . But Paul also was a great teacher of Prayer . From his letter to the Thessalonians come a number of requests for prayer , like the significant word : “ Pray continually ” ( 1 Thess 5,17 ) which became the centre of Orthodox spirituality . -
St Peter became a figure of stories as the guardian of the door of heaven , St Paul could not be seen as a figure of folk traditions , he would be much too real and relevant today for something like a fairy tale .

There was a preacher who fell in the ocean and he couldn ' t swim . When a boat came by , the captain yelled , " Do you need help , sir ?" The preacher calmly said " No , God will save me ."
A little later , another boat came by and a fisherman asked , " Hey , do you need help ?" The preacher replied again , " No God will save me ."
Eventually the preacher drowned & went to heaven . The preacher asked God , " Why didn ' t you save me ?" God replied , " Fool , I sent you two boats !"
