Yes, just as Paul teaches there is no other gospel than that of Jesus Christ, so it is that not only Paul, but all who believe learn of the Mastser, for He is the Source of all wisdom and knowledge. If we do not learn from Him, we only have second -hand learning, even from our most trusted brethren.
The most wonderful aspect of this is that Yeshua invites us to learn directly from Him, going on to let us know His burden is light, and His yoke is easy.. Now He said this in reference to the hypocrites who lay heavy burdens upon the laity while not being willing to lift even a finger to bear them themselves, honoring God with their lipz while their hearts are far away, somewhere else.
Isn't it wonderful to be invited to Jesus Christ's classroom by Jesus Christ, Himself.

If you understand Christ, and Paul, and we both know Paul did not contradict Christ, please answer the following question:
Why did Paul say:
Carry each others burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ Gal 6:2
Why did he not say.
''Obey Christ's individual commands and so fulfil the law of Christ?''
Why do you ask such questions when you already know what I understand as shared with you?
I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. [SUP]13 [/SUP]But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth John 16:12&13
When we have learned of Jesus Christ we do eactly as He taught to the best of the ability and strengthe given us by the Holy Spirit, kyet He has done the actual work of Salvation for us. We work out our salvation with fear and tremblign, and in so doing we do and not just say what He has taught us. This is understood by Christ's teachings first, then from His tru students. Though Pal is the 13th Apostle, he is still a student of teh Lord. Your question was answerd when you first knew that I believe we learn from the Master. I am not being wiley.
I will leave it to the independent observer as to whether they believe you have answered the question. I do not believe you have answered it
In my view, Paul showed us how to live according to the core of Christ's teaching by following the true path of grace. I agree, many do not understand the book of Romans. Why do you think
the law arouses sinful passions in those who live under it? Rom 7:5
Paul teaches the gospel of Jesus Christ. He teaches there is no other gospel. If you are looking for the "how to's" for living in Christ from Paul, it smacks of setting up one's own selected laws, and being "under the laws of Paul."
Anyone who hears the teachings of Jesus Christ and does them is doing all necessary to his Salvation for Salvation is sthe translation of Christ's name, that is of Jesus.

Here is the conundrum if you like. Only by knowing you are eternally secure with God solely because of what Christ did for you at Calvary, shall sin not be your master. This means you know in your heart your right standing with God is not dependant on observing the law(you sin if you fail to observe the law)
Yet at the same time a Christian cannot live as they want, a carefree existence of sinning.
How do you bridge the two?

Possibly, those who simply try and follow the literal commands of Christ, without understanding what Paul wrote, are not allowing themselves to be led of the Spirit into truth
Unhappily, many folks do not take into consideration that the Epistles are Letters to specific assembliees who were experiencing specific problems in their understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For this cause the letters were written to them. Now there is much to glean from the letters to this errant bodies, however if one has indeed learned of Christ and the Holy Spirit, he does not need the Epistles.
All to many theologies under the infulence of the problems addressed to one group or another have been formed and have failed as theologies because they do not rely totally on the Gospel of Jesus Christ as taught by HIm. Again, as Paul teaches, there is no other gospel.
If people wish to glean a theology from Paul only, they should do all Paul teaches to all of those errant assemblies, however when one learns from the Master, he will always understand the His Teachings, HIs Gospel, without the clutter of the problems of such as Corinthians, Colossions, Romans, ets. It is good to read that history of our progress, however remaining always in the words of Yeshua is the Way, the Truth and the Life, amen.
By the way, the foundations of the New Jerusalem are built as twelve, not thirteen. This may or may not be important to you or others.

you may have missed it, But no demon ever had faith in God. The mere fact they are a demon (fallen angel) is because they DID NOT have faith in God. James did not say this, he said they believe, yet tremble
Huge difference between mere belief and true faith.
Faith works, belief does not.
many people believe in God, but are no more saved than these demons, it takes true faith to save, true faith produces works, that was james point.

The whole point of james is to test our own faith. is it real, or are we hearers only not doers of the word. you can not look at someone and see if they have true faith or not. a pharisee looked like a follower of God because of all his work. yet he did not even know God on a personal level. because he did not trust God, he trusted his own deeds.
Yes, man is saved through faith and not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9); yet genuine faith will be evidenced by good works (James 2:18). If someone merely claims to have faith yet they have no works (James 2:14); then they do not have genuine faith but an empty profession of faith. A dead faith.
