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

...you are claiming that the Apostles taught literally the exact opposite from each other?
Is that what you’re claiming?
Apostolic Authority comes from the Apostles acting together and agreeing, not one of them alone.
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)?
Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

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:

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...
