Absolutely St Paul’s theology is an accurate teaching of the Catholic Church’s!!! That’s why we proclaim him a saint and a martyr and placed all his surviving Epistles in the canon of Scripture. The Church only approved those books whose theology matched what was accepted Catholic doctrine received from the Apostles, one of whom was St Paul. You claim to love the Bible, you really should study how the Church determined the canon of Scripture, but i need to warn you first, you will find the word “Tradition” in the story!!

To: one Lord one faith one baptism
So, when Paul says to Timothy in 2 Timothy 3...

"14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it 15and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

He didn't really mean JUST Scripture? He meant that Scripture wasn't good enough on its own when he said that?

Where's the mention of tradition? Maybe he forgot it?
