Why shouldn’t I just believe that both Matthew and James are heretics?

Well you could, I suppose. In the end we all have to decide who got Jesus Christ’s message right. I hope you’ll agree that some details are more important than others.
There have been a lot of contributions to Christian thought. I think if you could sit Paul, James, Peter, and Mathew down together, they’d agree on a lot of essentials. Would they have disagreements on the emphasis we place upon faith and deeds in the salvation of one’s soul? I happen to think they would. But they would ALL agree that faith in Jesus Christ and the WAY he taught us to live our lives is essential to being a Christian. And they would all agree that he proved his Divine Origin not just by the message he taught (which is superior to any religious message ever taught), but also by his miracles and Resurrection.
