Does Paul Rub You the Wrong Way

I think the biggest issue is his delivery and probably because of his strong "D" personality (a necessary ingredient for what he was called to do)

So a "compassionate" driven personality would say the same think but in a different tone.

But his wisdom and revelation is incredible. Some say because he only knew the risen Lord and not like the other Apostle knew Jesus in th flesh (The Word made flesh)

4I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, 5that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge, 6even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, 7so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Cor 1 Typical: in bold is to pneumatic , in italics is to psychics. even name of Jesus used differently and word for "knowledge" (in Greek, of course) too.
22For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; Jews are symbol for psychic - natural, Greek - for pneumatic - spiritual.

14But a natural (psychic) man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 15But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one 1 Cor 2
it is more clear in Greek. This is a typical example.
