Not sure how the Apostle Paul could have taught the “whole counsel of God” within 20 years of the Resurrection if church doctors needed to continue to define it...

It’s called, “the development of doctrine”, look it up with Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman.

So by that logic, if the Church has learned or discovered anything deeper about theology than what Paul taught, she makes him a liar? I don't think even Baptists believe that; what about all the writings and quarrels you guys produce on the topic of eschatology alone?
No: Paul taught the "whole counsel of God" as he knew it at the time, which is all he could claim to do or be held responsible for. It doesn't follow that no elaboration or deepening of understand can have happened in the 2000 years since then.
