personally called and ordained Paul, to be [mainly] a teacher of the
Gentiles, or are you seriously suggesting Christ disagreed with aspects of
Paul's teachings even though Christ and his Father had specifically called
him and were supervising their specially ordained servant?
If not, then it is obvious Christ endorsed and approved of his hard work
and
writings.

I think the problem here is that you don't know what the word
"endorsed" means, or how it's normally used in the English language.

"Approve of" when I was at school....I suppose either fit, or not fit for
purpose, in today's PC speak.

It means more than just approve of. In this context, it means to
communicate your approval of or to publicly express approval or
support.

So what is your problem, Mark?

Now, tell me, where in the Bible is Christ recorded as speaking in
support of Paul?

Well the Daily Reading of May 1st or again on October 31st would have provided the answer for you.
"Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard many people tell about this man, [ Paul ] especially how much evil and what great suffering he has brought on Your saints at Jerusalem; 14 Now he is here and has authority from the high priests to put in chains all who call upon Your name.
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for this man is a chosen instrument of Mine to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the descendants of Israel; 16 For I will make clear to him how much he will be afflicted and must endure and suffer for My name's sake" ".Acts 9:12-16 (Amplified Bible)

Wow!....So now can you bring yourself to admit that Christ had amply fulfilled the application of your meaning? ~to communicate approval of or to publicly express approval or support.~

Jeff...

For who can dispute that Christ has proclaimed his public endorsement and approval of Paul to hundreds of millions of humans through this passage over the past 2,000 years?
