The first Christians ran Paul off. The Romans had to put him on a boat and get him away after he was exposed for what he was. And the Asia Minor Christians all turned against him. Reckon the Christians closest to Jesus were all wrong about the man?

Christians didn't run Paul off. You read something and then just jump to some wild conclusion you made up. Paul had to escape the city in a basket and went into exile for a while. The bible doesn't say, I repeat does not say that the real Jesus followers ran him off for lying. That's all made up in your head.

What happened is that Paul was very educated in and aligned with the leaders of Judaism. Remember he had been given authority to arrest and bring to trial the heretic Christians. He was a man used to authority. When this known religious official converted and started arguing and showing from the Jewish scriptures the divinity of Jesus it stirred up such a fuss that it actually threatened the early Christian church. That's why Paul went into exile for a while, not because he was running from angry Christians.
