Paul is not the only Apostle.

Apostolic Authority comes from the Apostles acting together and agreeing, not one of them alone.

Paul is a man (like you and I). He is also prone to statements that could be erroneous if interpreted the wrong way. The Book of James addresses some of Paul’s less than stellar theological points.

...you are claiming that the Apostles taught literally the exact opposite from each other?

Is that what you’re claiming?

You mean like the pope when he speaks ex cathedra?

Do you have chapter and verse from Scripture to support your definition of *apostolic authority*(which phrase is never found in Scripture)?

The Book of James addresses some of Paul’s less than stellar theological points. 1Co 2:4  And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 
1Co 2:5  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 

Eph 3:3  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 
Eph 3:4  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 
1Co 2:4  And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 
2Co 3:12  Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 

Paul's words were not written to be 'interpreted'...They were written to be (easily) understood...And the problem doesn't come from understanding...It comes from disbelief...
