Not sure why you're saying all of this. Of course Paul and those in the Gospels and Acts other than Jesus himself were imperfect, just as those in the OT. What the apostles did are not necessarily doctrine, but the accounts of their doings in Acts, as well as the whole NT, are written by the Holy Spirit for our instruction. The Epistles which Paul wrote a majority, certainly are doctrine (2 Tim 3:16).

Jesus said, "As the Father has sent me, so send I you" and the Acts are a demonstration of the same grace and power of the Holy Spirit through believers that Jesus had.

So we get the doctrine of the gospel of grace from the epistles, Romans being the most detailed explanation of the gospel of grace and Hebrews being the most detailed explanation of the gospel of the new covenant. Acts is a demonstration of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ in the life of believers and Acts is the only book without an "Amen" so that same life and power is available to us today.

The Gospels reveal Jesus Christ in the flesh, but remember, the New Covenant began AFTER the death and resurrection of Jesus, so the correct understanding and interpretation of the life of Jesus is found in what Jesus said AFTER his death and resurrection and in the epistles. That is why Peter said,

"even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has 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." 1 Peter 3:15-16.

God bless.

You asserted, "The Gospels reveal Jesus Christ in the flesh, but remember, the New Covenant began AFTER the death and resurrection of Jesus ..." You are wrong and the words of Jesus Himself prove you wrong, but you are not working for Christ so His words will fall upon your deaf ears ...

Matthew 26:2 7Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you, 28 because this is my blood of the new covenant that is being poured out for many people for the forgiveness of sins.

Did you catch that? Jesus told them on the night before going to the cross that the pouring out of His blood was for the forgiveness of sins. And how do we receive that new covenant? By faith. And what is the new covenant? The forgiveness of sins, based solely in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ. He didn't pour our His blood so some devil-servants can claim prosperity and all sorts of carnal goodies. Sin is a disease. The shedding of His blood, where the thorn crown broke the scalp, where the flagellum ripped open His flesh, and where the nails crashed through His body, THERE is the shedding of blood. When the spear pierced His side and blood and water pour forth, THERE is the shedding of His blood. THAT is the basis of the new covenant and JESUS instituted it the night before He went to the cross.

You are writing falsehoods and accusing Christians of being Pharisees because they will not ascent to your deceptions. But then, these deceptions aren't yours, are they! They are of the devil. Strange gospels are always from the devil.

The Resurrection affirmed what Jesus instituted on the night before He was betrayed. Between the instituting of this new covenant and the affirmation of it, THERE was the shedding of blood for us and for our salvation, not for carnal prosperity.

The shedding of blood, His Blood, sealed the new covenant. You add carnality to what is a Spiritual New Covenant. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why it is a new covenant ... not the Only covenant? The devil doesn't want you to figure THAT ONE out, fer shur ...
