So. As I read your post, you believe Jesus’s ministry is relevant to us in so far as He says to follow St. Paul.
Because: “Paul is your pattern to follow.”
It sounds like a fun little puzzle your teachers made of the New Testament and likely quite interesting to scramble and fit the pieces together in novel ways.
However, did it ever occur to you somewhere along the way that being a follower of Christ, a Christian, would be incongruent with the statement: “Paul is your pattern to follow.”?
1 Corinthians 11:1-2 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. 2Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you.
Catholics certainly don't have any problem following Paul when they quote him to justify their elevating the traditions of men to the level of Scripture.
Why is that?
