>> “Notice that even Paul uses, over and over, terminology that says that the teaches whether oral or written by the Church is to be believed and followed over any man’s interpretation.” <<
Slippery falsehood!
Paul told his flock to hold what he said and what he wrote, and both of those are the same, exactly to the word.
Paul was not a deceiver, and would never speak that which he didn’t put in writing for the future. Paul was especially aware of the coming falling away and corruption, and the absolute requirement for all to be preserved in the written word, as it was, and spoke to it by telling each congregation to share the letters they received with all the other congregations.
Paul also knew that the church was only a mystic body, and never spoke nor wrote otherwise.
The Lord has called us out of Churchianity, calling it the Harlot and her daughters.
“Paul also knew that the church was only a mystic body, and never spoke nor wrote otherwise.”
Where did Paul teach that the Church was a mystical body?
Arguing that he ‘never spoke or wrote otherwise’, is an argument from silence.
Slippery falsehood!

Nope. Paul said 'we' and 'us'. That means the Church, not just a single person.

And how was that sharing to be done? Email? Remember that 98% of Christians at that time could not read. Most were dirt poor subsistance farmers or menial workers. They had no money. Who would they pay to copy out by hand all of these letters?

Chapter and verse, if you would please.
