I also find it difficult to believe that any presbyterians read the gospels. They sure do concentrate on those freaky Pauline epistles. St. Paul got a few things right, but he was likely just as loony as his protegee, Calvin.

So, giving my opinion about the Pauline epistles is the same as saying God made a mistake with Paul?
Let me be very very clear: GOD. DOES. NOT. MAKE. MISTAKES. I. DO. NOT. CARE. FOR. THE. PAULINE. EPISTLES. Again: God does not make mistakes. I do not care for the Pauline Epistles. I think St. Paul was not wrapped too tight. Was a few cards short of a deck. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Etc.
Stating that my dislike of Paul is the same as disrespecting God or telling God He made a mistake -- that is completely untrue. That was quite a stretch, by the way, to come up with a falsehood like that one.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Calling God breathed Scripture *freaky* is sitting in judgment of God. Not a position I'd like to find myself in.
Aren't you just so special, JA, that you feel so free to condemn the works that your church fathers designate as Scripture.
