Based on my question you can not use paul or the narrator of the bible, but only the words of Jesus. Please use red letter quotes to show me where it talks about Pauline faith. It would seem many of you follow paul and not Jesus.

How can you not see that the teachings of Paul are scripture? How do you know that the gospels record the words of Jesus? How do you know anything that was said and done 2,000 years ago?

Jesus teaches the law of love and how it binds you to the law of one. These laws are inscribed on your heart. What Paul teaches just seems ailen to me.
 
Im still convinced that Paul is not necessary to follow Jesus and be reconciled with the father. There for I consider Paul as a testimony account to help me grow but not my foundation. I take it with a grain of salt. Old Testament is similar but more to show how we can waver from gods plan, and the fathers heart to reconcile us. Which god did through Jesus. If everything is proven to be false even the resurrection im ok with this. I believe that Jesus teaching and laws is enough for me.

What does Paul say that is alien? It is possible to answer specifics, but not vague statements.
 
Jesus new covenant as prist and king from the blood line of David.
When you break bread remember me and eat my flesh which has been broken for you. By observing the laws and teachings When you poor drink offer yourself up by denying yourself and taking up your cross. Drink Christ blood which has been shed and poored out for you. You must eat and drink of flesh and blood or you have no life in you. You must obey or Christ doesn not know you. Jesus will forever be the high prist of the Malchezidek order. Don't allow Pauline theoligy to steal your crown.
 
Paul is not an apostle or he would have taught Christ.

Peter called him a beloved brother who spoke the truth. Sounds like this scripture applies to you

And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath 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. 2 Peter 3:15-16

No you don't. Jesus has the words of life.

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would be given to lead His people into all truth. (John 16:13). If the words of Jesus were sufficient, we would not need the Holy Spirit to lead us into more truth. You say that you believe the words of Jesus? Good. Then accept what He said about the work of the Holy Spirit.

Paul taught that Christ is the foundation (1Cor. 3:10, Rom. 3:21-5:1), which is indeed sufficient for salvation.
However, Christ taught that the Holy Spirit would be given so that believers would learn how the saved should behave
(John 14:26, 15:26, 16:12-13), which was a main emphasis Jesus inspired in the theology of Paul, too, that indeed helps
us grow toward spiritual maturity (Eph. 4:11-15), so let us not be content with remaining spiritual newbies (1Cor. 3:1-2, Heb. 6:1-3),
but continue to hunger for and feed upon all of God's Word in Scripture (Matt. 4:4, 5:6, 2Tim. 3:15-17) as we press on toward perfection (Phil. 3:7-4:1).

I already agree that Paul ment well and
Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would be given to lead His people into all truth. (John 16:13). If the words of Jesus were sufficient, we would not need the Holy Spirit to lead us into more truth. You say that you believe the words of Jesus? Good. Then accept what He said about the work of the Holy Spirit.
Thats not true. The Holy Spirit helps us know Christ which has be reviled through his apostles. I don't belive the bible is without error. We are instructed to discern.
 
How much of the New Testament have you read? Your statement is absurd.

"For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2
I dont need the resurrection to be true to follow christ
