Maybe I don’t understand your point, then

I don't think Chrust would teach +Paul anything different than other Apostles.

i think interpreting paul out of context of the other apostles just makes for very poor interpretations... almost as different as interpreting Catholics through what protestants do...

Clearly, we both and a lot of other folks think a lot about God, theology, history, The Church etc.

Our thinking thoughts does not at all insure that they are Biblical, accurate, Godly, kosher, . . .

I’m convinced that from time to time, a given thought MAY be as purely from God as whatever He delivered to Moses on Mt Sinai.

But I usually try to avoid having a quick conviction of that sort unless God makes it abundantly clear that I must. I prefer to not only compare such thoughts with Scripture but to also check them out with a consensus of the local Spirit-filled congregation—at least the wiser more discerning amongst them.

AND

TO WAIT FOR THE TEST OF SIGNIFICANT TIME and the fruit of such thoughts before settling on any emphatic convictions about same.

But as a rule of thumb, I try hard to avoid putting God in any of my personally constructed tidy little boxes.
