[roamer_1:] Likewise with Messiah - ANY authority within his discipleship comes from HIM - Not from Peter, or Paul, or the pope, or Luther or Calvin... do as HE bids us to do. There is no ability to change HIS WORDS... And that btw, is what is wrong with the wild interpretations of Paul...

I would counter that whatever is wrong is not Paul.

You need not counter - I find nothing wrong with Paul. I find fault in those who interpret him wrongly. But to be fair, he's a complicated read, no matter who you are.

concur, hope to understand but love and believe nonetheless

Yeah; and it's been this way for a long, LONG time now!

2 Peter 3:15-16(NIV)

15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
