The Bereans,I have learned from nonCatholics,were in great favor because they pored over scripture,testing everything against it. That is what I do so I compare the New Testament to the Old,the epistles to the Gospels and when the scriptures do not reconcile I hold to the last applicable passage I understood. Therefore,I find myself holding to the Gospel in any passages that conflict.

So while there is much that Paul has written that conforms to scripture,some simply does not.So,I listen to Church teachings and know that clearly Jesus Christ gave the Apostles and their Successors more promise of God's guidance than He gave to me.And,surely there are plenty enough things pleasing to God,for me to do,pray and think about to keep me occupied!!!

Recently,I have read some interesting articles about Paul and I was quite happy because although I don't know whether they are right or wrong they do make me know that others see some of the things that I see or perceive.Thanks for your comments.

This is good. This, plus earnest prayer to God for understanding of what you read, will bring you into a fuller and fuller truth.

It's strange that you should say this, because the Catholic Church affirms the writings of Paul in the New Testament as scripture.

But, that aside, ... what is there, in your opinion, which Paul has written which does not conform to scripture ?
