I am more interested in the instructions of Christ rather than the desires of man.

Leaving aside that your insupportable interpretation of the Gospel is a perfect example of a human desire being read into a text, what are you arguing here against Paul?

That the letters of Paul are inferior to the Gospels?

That the Gospels represent a higher canon within the larger canon of Scripture?

That John is a more truthful and reliable book of Scripture than Timothy is?

Read the first two words of 1 Timothy 2:8.

They aren’t inferior. They are letters written to a specific church for a specific purpose. We can learn from those letters, but they must always be taken in context. To quote isolated scripture from an epistle without considering the whole letter and the reason it was written is wrong. And in a case where gospel and epistle are at odds, we should always stand on the side of Christ’s words.
