Read through the Article and did not see an explanation of "Right Division." What I read was that the Author put forth that we were to teach only what the Apostle Paul taught. All well and good, as long as we understand that what the other Apostles taught are also worthy of being taught.
As well, WHAT JESUS TAUGHT should be the main docrinal materials we should teach. After all, it is His Gospel that Paul and the other Apostles taught.
I wonder why some people stress teaching what Paul taught, and rarely mention what Jesus Himself said? I find that interesting......

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
For
the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”
2 Timothy 4:1-4 KJV
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
John 18:37
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but
my words shall not pass away.”
Matthew 24:35 KJV
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:31-32 KJV
If I’m going to deceive you I have to get you away from the truth have to get you to not acknolwedge it
“God is a Spirit: and
they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come,
he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”
John 4:24-26 KJV
“
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
“
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 KJV
If o don’t want to hear God d don’t want other to hear God I’m going to need to trim your ears away from what he said and if I can say “ Paul’s the judge , he’s the one we have to hear to be saved , Paul’s the authority over the church ect then I can do this
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.
Ye therefore,
beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.”
2 Peter 3:15-18 KJV
Paul really wasn’t vague when it came to Jesus word
“
If any man teach otherwise, and
consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is
proud,
knowing nothing, but doting about
questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness:
from such withdraw thyself.”
1 Timothy 6:3-5
the idea that paul somehow replaced Jesus or his words somehow replaced Jesus words is something we have to believe in order to be tirned away from the truth and to fables and deceptions claiming truth
the reason some don that is they want to teach you thier doctrine they don’t want you hearing Gods doctrine first
“Whosoever transgresseth, and
abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.
He that
abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and
bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:”
2 John 1:9-10 KJV
paul is one of Jesus servants most don’t realize Paul was preaching to people who had already heard the gospel it was spreading throughout the regions for a long time before Paul’s conversion
he wasn’t ever saying “ you don’t need to believe the gospel and word of God you have been hearing about and instead believe me “
he was teaching believers of the gospel the revelations ofnthe gospel promised by Jesus
“But
ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:”
Ephesians 4:20-21 KJV
Forst we hear and believe Jesus then we can understand Paul’s words he’s just as any apostle it doesn’t matter who we heard the gospel from
“For
I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. …Therefore
whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.”
1 Corinthians 15:9, 11 KJV
it doesn’t matter the name of the preacher it matters if he’s preaching Jesus and the kingdom
“And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.”
Acts 28:30-31 KJV
that’s the word of God Jesus word is when God came and spoke to mankind and said “ go tell everyone in the world what I said whoever believes will be saved”
it’s eternal Life if we hear it and believe and follow where that faith leads us but it’s also jidgement if we reject it
“
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
Jesus words will never change or end it is the everlasting covenant t he promised tommake
so if I don’t want you to know that I need to convince you it’s not for you subtly “ it’s true but it’s for the Jews “ it’s true but it’s the law we aren’t under the law “ “ it’s true but now oil came and it doesn’t apply only the word grace applies “
If we hear the gospel we’re going to be herring Gods own. Words about eternal life and salvstion
then like letters make sense because he was a believer not an innovator
