Delude yourself all you want. I'm not falling for it. Paul's teachings are what Jesus revealed to him - they did not come from Paul. Therefore, the epistles - all of them not just Paul's - are continuing revelation of Christ. I don't know any better way of explaining this and I cannot drill it into your head, it is something you must receive from the Lord. Understanding this is NOT saying any one is “better than” or “more important than” any other. They are ALL from God, so they are all his revelation for mankind. The “church” most certainly is supposed to be the ground and upholder of this truth and when any one who claims to be part of this body veers away from the truth God gave us in Scripture, then they, obviously, aren't upholding truth anymore.

Paul's writings are among the earliest in the NT, so by your logic they don't count. Only the last ones count. Therefore, why don't you jettison everything except John, Jude and Peter, and possibly Matthew and Luke and Mark. Same problem as before: you guys will argue and refuse to back up your positions with any suitable Scripture simply because the Reformation fell for the old Paulian heresies and their children continue it today. Remember Peter's warning against misinterpreting Paul? Alive in tens of thousands of different beliefs, today, and splintering as fast as all get out.

I can't see any other way of reading this but that Paul is teaching something different than what Christ taught.

Are you agreeing with those who say Paul's teaching on salvation is different than Christ's teaching on the Kingdom of God? (i.e. whom is saved and why) Not only different, but that, in this view, Paul's applies to us and Jesus's does not?
