Ok, Paul is claiming apostalic authority... I guess I better read Corinthians. To get my apostolic authority. Don’t need the Papal tradition, that line has failed. Don’t need the Patriarchs of Constantinople or Moscow. That line has failed also. So I guess I just have to read Paul, by Paul, about Paul.
“So I guess I just have to read Paul, by Paul, about Paul.”
I recall some lady say something at a church I was at about “Oh - but that’s Paul” as she seemed to dismiss anything that he had written. I’m not sure where she was coming from - but I imagine some group(s) have a long history of “anti-Paul” theology? Not sure how you just through out so much of the New Testament though.
