I don't care how "late" they are or whether or not I have support from the church. All I know is that either Paul's writings are Scripture or Yeshua's words are Scripture, because the two contradict.
Not only that, but man's opinion will NEVER be held as Scripture, and numerous places in his writings Paul clarifies they are NOT from G-d but are his own opinions.
