There is no leap to make. Paul clearly said that Christ was "speaking" through him...Gal 1:11-12

But of course he would say that, but the fact remains Christ never taught what +Paul preached about circumcision, the Law and the dietary laws, as well as taking the Church to the Gentiles, so whoever was speaking "through" him was not repeating what Christ taught before him.

This is a huge difference between us. Since we use other scripture to interpret, our reliance really IS on the scripture itself

And that would explain the overwhelming 'concordance' of interpretation between 33,000 and growing Protestants sects (and possibly explain the very existence of so many of them).

That sounds nice, but NO ONE can glorify God all the time with bad theology! :)

Theology? I though sola fide is all you need?!

Now wait a minute. :) On the one hand Christ taught more than what was in the Bible, so Tradition has legitimacy. On the other hand, Christ didn't overtly teach what Paul taught word for word in scripture, so Paul was wrong!!! Unbelievable. :)

I could have faith alone in a head of lettuce for my salvation, but that would not be all I need. The faith must be a true faith by true grace for sola fide to have any meaning.
