All Scripture is of use; do you hear me denying that?
Where does it say that all Scripture is of equal use? Where does it say that the disciples on Earth after Jesus had been taken up have equal or greater value than the words that Our Lord spoke while on Earth? I understand that you are Presbyterian; thank you. I was being only mildly sarcastic in order to prove a point. You have only helped to prove my point even further. The folks that build a theology on Paul that is opposed to the Gospels prove my point. You prove my point by ignoring Matt 5:, Matt 25:, Rev 20: and on and on in favour of cherry picked verses from Paul.
If you take the words of a man as equal to or greater than Christ’s words, now THAT is idolatry.
***If you take the words of a man as equal to or greater than Christ’s words, now THAT is idolatry.***
On that I agree. I put no man, or church, above the word of God. Our problem is that I believe that the whole of scripture is God’s word, where you believe that the gospels are somehow greater than the rest.

2 Timothy 3:16-17. Oh, wait, that can’t be true because YOU don’t believe it as the truth.
