But I think I get your point. That Christianity went south back in the NT age.

If Jesus was the good seed, was Paul a tare?
Actually Jesus explains the parable in Matthew chapter 13: 36-43. He says the field in the parable is the world. To establish whether or not Paul was a tare I suggest you look at whether or not his teachings stray from those of Jesus and if they resulted in poor poor Christianity.
