While I agree that Saul/Paul was chosen by God, what I don't agree with is the automatic assumption that everything Paul wrote or said is in accordance with God's will.
In the end, Paul was still a fallable human being. He was also inextricably linked to Jewish tradition and viewpoints.
This is why I think, for example, that he comes out against homosexuality (that being a deadly sin to Jews not to have a male heir).
This is not "cafeteria Christianity", but an understanding of who said what and from what perspective.
