May 25, 2011 · Paul did think of Jesus as God. It seems reasonable to conclude that Paul certainly had a high Christology, in which Jesus received worship and devotion, that was without clear precedent in the Judaism of the first century. From the wider context of Paul’s undisputed letters, there are a number of indications of this high devotion to Jesus. 1. 1.
