Paul's story was about the advancement of the teachings of Jesus after the Crucifixion. In all reality I don't even think Paul was a bad person. But again - the bible was NOT a Divine intervention handed down to us from God. They were stories and books inspired by the happenings of Jesus - many passed through generations. These people were INSPIRED by Jesus but through several generations the message did get a bit hazy and reinterpreted to serve their purpose.
Paul's message wasn't overtly bad but distorted enough to serve purpose. But because Paul was a Christian and was providing definition to what he felt the faith should be - there is variation from what Jesus actually did during his times. Paul and Jesus were not different but Paul was more amplified and doing what it takes to get people to convert whereas Jesus wasn't really trying to convert since he was already the faith of the people.
