“Many of the “Christians” here are followers of Paul, not Christ.”

Names? Or perhaps Mark would explain what the difference is for the us folks in the back of the class. Yes? No?

I'll let the folks do their own examples. Look at posts in reply to questions. I will post example after example of the words of Jesus and I get dueling Scripture mostly from Paul, but occasionally from Isaiah or Jeremiah. Not with an explanation but as a gotcha. I say that Jesus says this. They say that it doesn't matter - Paul says that.

I mean I quote Paul a lot and I did have a priest make much the same statement to me years ago and till now no one has said what, if any, difference there is between Paul’s teaching and Christ’s.

There really isn't. But out of context snippets of Paul and viewing the Gospels through the Pauline letters will definitely lead to and foment the rise of nonChristian Paulianity.

“There really isn’t” any difference between Paul’s teaching and Christ’s.

Quite agree. Each supports the other. But I’ll ask if anyone wants to cite examples of Paul vs. the Gospels and see what appears.
