I know that you would have Paul's writings to his flock supersede the Gospel,

Are not Pauls words inspired by the Holy Spirit? Should they be removed from the canon?Are some words more inspired than others? Just how does one decide that?

THAT’S SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INCREDIBLE!

And some folks think that those of us who realize UFO’s are part of the END TIMES scenarios

are the ones considered off the wall!

INCREDIBLE.

One does not. The Church does. But at any rate, let us examine the premise of relative importance.

Men inspired by God are not, no matter how much inspired, able to supersede the words of God Himself - Jesus Christ. Unless you believe that any man - Paul included - has equal or greater importance than God (in which case you cannot seriously call yourself Christian), then the quotes attributed to Jesus in the NT are the greatest in the NT. We look at the NT through the Gospels - the pinnacle of God's revelation to men. If you don't, how in the world can you call yourself Christian?
