None of the Paulian verses you list express the Nicene formula. There is separate mention of the Father, the Son (in subordination to the Father) and the Holy Spirit who appears as simply a messenger or robot of the Father. An example is 1 Corinthians 3: 16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

The way this is written is that the Spirit of God is a mechanism or emissary of God, and not God Himself.

Peter called Pauls writings scripture

The Church calls Paul's writings Scripture. And therefore it is. The Chronicler's writings are also Scripture. Do you think that 1 Chronicles 25 is any less important than Romans 6?

as I said before, those people that have a hard time with PAUL want to build their own god

Negative. It is the Paulians who wish to build their own Paulian god. Scripture is clear; Paulianity is not Christianity.

ALL scripture is inspired by God.. but is there a DIFFERENCE..you bet.. 1 Chronicles is old testament and as is every book in the OT is written to reveal the coming messiah.. the OT was fulfilled in Christ and the NT is for the church church .. The OT is about the LAW the NT is about Grace.. so Romans teaches us the truth about our sinfulness and Gods grace. It is the doctrine of the NT church.. it is written for the church

We read the OT THROUGH the new..seeing the prophetic word fulfilled..

Negative. It is the Paulians who wish to build their own Paulian god. Scripture is clear; Paulianity is not Christianity.

If a man does not have the God of Paul and Peter, and john , and Jude.. he has a false god.. one that lets him be his own god..
