[Bishop_Malachi]

Paul’s epistles were circulating at the time he was still alive, which proves that Catholicism’s claims to giving us Scripture and relying on tradition until much later, was a complete lie fabricated by those within Catholicism who wanted to be on par with God.

Well, of course they were circulating when he was alive. He wrote them. But there were Christians practicing PRIOR to Paul writing his letters (and prior to any Gospel writings existing).

And this makes Paul's writings NOT inspired by God... how?

Are you going for like an achievement or something? Trying to get the fallacy royal flush?

And...???????

Luke 24:25-27 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

Luke 24:32 They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

Acts 17:2-3 And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

Acts 17:11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

2 Timothy 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

You do realize that all anyone needs to come to Jesus is the OT, don't you?

What do you mean *What were they practicing?*

What does what they were allegedly practicing (which I doubt you actually know) have to do with Scripture and Paul's letters being said Scripture?
