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?

I made this in my last point, but I’ll say it again. The Epistle of James was a rebuke of the One-and-Done Faith position that could be attributed to Paul. Here’s what Martin Luther (a famous lover of the Apostle Paul) said about the Book of James:

“Therefore St James’ epistle is really an epistle of straw, compared to these others, for it has nothing of the nature of the Gospel about it.”

[Cronos]

Luir - read what BM wrote 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. -- that is not them teaching the exact opposite but people interpreting them as opposites as the various movements since the 1500s have done
