thanks for another true but irrelevant comment.....
Paul was a missionary to established congregations in Asia Minor that were Hellenized Jews. They had been there since about 130 BC.

/shrugs......obvious bullshit even from what you yourself have linked......Paul established most of the congregations in Asia Minor which included converted gentiles and Jews......obviously there were no churches there before Christ was born........how you could even say that with a straight face is puzzling......
THE JEWS OF THESSALONIKI
by Yakov Benmayor
The Early Years
It is believed that Jews from Alexandria, who arrived in 140 BCE, were among the first Jews to settle in Thessaloniki. During the Hellenistic period a Jewish community was formed. They concentrated in an area near the port of the city. The center of their social and religious lives was their synagogue, Etz haHayim.
Legend has it that the apostle Paul preached for three consecutive Sabbaths in this same synagogue before he was forced to leave town.
The Romans granted autonomy to the Jewish community whose members lived in various parts of the town and were not concentrated anymore around the port. They are traders, craftsmen but also farmers and silk growers. The supreme leader of the community is the Rabbi who, assisted by 6 notables, deals with the everyday needs and duties of its members.
The Jews of Thessaloniki during the Roman and later the Byzantine periods had Greek names and spoke Greek. This ancient community came to beknown as the “Romaniotes”. After the splitting up of the Roman Empire in 395 CE, Thessaloniki became the second most important city - after Constantinople - in the Byzantine Empire.

Paul never stayed in any one place very long. Here's a timeline of his missionary travels.

Paul said it was a synagogue. Don't assume... just because you haven't ever looked or questioned.

none of which backs up your foolish claim that he didn't begin the Christian churches of Asia Minor, Greece and Rome.....

/shakes his head......he visited a synagogue......he started a church......the synagogue didn't turn into a Christian church....it continued to be a Jewish synagogue......in fact, the Jews who remained in the synagogue tried to kill him and harassed the ones who left.....
