Paul was doing his own thing with the Gentiles. I’ll take Jesus’ words over Paul’s any day.
Salvation, Paul’s words WERE Jesus’ words. He spoke to Paul by direct revelation from heaven, and gave him ministry to the Gentiles, the Gospel of the Grace of God.
Christ spoke to Paul AFTER He spoke to Peter. Don’t you understand the importance of that. It’s the LAST orders of the Leader that is followed not prior orders. The most recent one is his order.
But of course you don’t know that. That would force you into the uncomfortable position of searching the scriptures to see if these things are so. Better to stay in comfortable ignorance of God’s word, I guess. Plus the recipes of the monthly saints are so tasty.
