Looks like you yourself are most likely a member of a religious cult.


Paul met with the “Apostles and elders” of the church, at least John, Peter and James (maybe more)>>>>

True

He was also endorsed by all of the Apostles.>>>>>>

John and peter are far from being all of the apostles

It is also absurd to dismiss Paul’s own testimony.>>>>>

No more than it would to dismiss Joe Smith`s.

and there would have been division in the church between Paul and the Apostles early on.>>>>>>

We don`t know who the divisions were with but we do know he did have divisions with the Churches in Asia, we also know that some did not believe him to be an apostle. 2 timothy 1:15 1 Corinthians 9:2 and 3

Peter, in his epistle, endorses Paul’s writings as holy scripture in 2 Peter 3.>>>>>>>

I must have missed the part about it being holy scripture.

"And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. (2Pe 3:15-16)

John and peter are far from being all of the apostles

John, Peter and James, and all the other Apostles and Elders by default, as explained already.

True

Then the debate is over, unless the Apostles aren't the true Apostles either.

We don`t know who the divisions were with but we do know he did have divisions with the Churches in Asia

There have been divisions in every age. But they have to answer to God, as you will too.
