Paul is being called a liar by the real apostles. Consider the following statements:
“I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit” Romans 9:1 RSV
“The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is to be praised forever, knows that I am not lying.” 2 Corinthians 11:31 NIV
For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 1 Timothy 2:7 RSV
“Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.” Galatians 1:20 KJV
Here Paul is telling Christians to follow his teachings:
“Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.” 1 Corinthians 4:16 KJV
Jesus tells you here, only Jesus’ teachings are the only way and follow Jesus and no one else. Jesus never preached the lawlessness Paul preached:
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
Again Paul is trying to justify himself as he is being called a liar by the disciples of Jesus. Paul also says that he may not be an apostle to the others (i.e. the real disciples of Jesus):
“Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not the result of my work in the Lord? Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the 
Lord. “
“This is my defense to those who sit in judgment on me.” 1 Corinthians 9:1-13 NIV
Now Paul is warning his followers to only accept his version of Jesus and to not accept the prophet Jesus that real apostles are preaching. He also states he is not inferiors to the real apostles “super-apostles”, thus making himself an authority on the subject.
“But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.”
“For if someone comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough.” 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 RSV
“I think that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.” 2 Corinthians 11:3-5 NRSV
Below people are obviously being called back to the correct gospel by the real apostles and deserting Paul and his blasphemous teachings:
"I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel - " "which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.” Galatians 1:6-7 NIV
