We are told to follow Paul as he followed Christ.

Then “Paul is your pattern to follow.” is, at best, subterfuge. Christ is our pattern.

Except when it comes His teaching about the Kingdom of Heaven, right?

Seems you've been taught that Paul has teaching and Christ has teaching. And, where they differ, "Paul is your pattern to follow." According to your posts.

Then you have completely missed what I have said. Which I won't repeat. There is a kingdom of believers and a body of believers. They are both built on Christ. He is the chief cornerstone. Read 1 Cor. 3:10. Paul laid the foundation, according to the grace of God that was given to him. He laid the foundation of the dispensation of the grace of God. Which he received from direct revelations from the risen Christ.

You may choose to not believe, but you may not choose to believe that it is made up. Either Paul was a lunatic, or he was given a commission by the risen Christ, which he fulfilled. And that was the formation of the church the body of Christ in the dispensation of the grace of God. Do with it as you will, but it doesn't change what God's Word of truth says.
