Good point about the Trinity. My purpose is to address the obsession some churches have over the GC, it is as if the only reason why anyone becomes a Christian, or stay a Christian, is to win others to Christ/make disciples.
Matthew gospel is written to the Jews specifically. The Gentile church can of course learn from those words. For example, it is just like the book of Genesis, God commanded Noah to build an ark, but no Christian now would say that those set of instructions carry over to us now. We can learn from the faith Noah had, to build that ark while everyone else saw no rain, and probably laughed at him.
As for the specific GC instructions, why are we not willing to put the GC under the same category? Why do so many seem to elevate the GC to apply to all of us now?

Jesus said it. That in itself is good enough for me.
The Pauline phenomenon is shacked to some notion of disenfranchisement of the bible.
Paul should be in red letters.
Note how you guys tirelessly complain about the error of those that don't deify Paul.
Paul himself addressed that very phenomenon. " ...i am glad i baptised none of you...."
Even then they were on the verge of deifying him.
