"Paul knew everything thru Christ"

Nothing said by Paul supersedes, revises, changes or amends anything in the Synoptic Gospels. If it it does the interpretation of Paul is wrong. You could learn everything needed for Salvation from the Gospels alone, but by themselves, Paul's letters are hollow.

It does seem like the Calvin Canon is completely comprised of Romans and the OT.

The gospels are technically OT scriptures. They reveal the fulfillment of the OT prophecies and they tell of the Divinity of Christ, and His complete obedience to the law of Moses, doing for us what we can not do for ourselves.
However they still teach the OT law.

The New Testament actually begins at the cross and resurrection of Christ.

The gospels were written in the same time span , in the case of John, perhaps later than the epistles..

All of them were written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit..

The words of Jesus were not recorded at the moment spoken, the Holy Spirit brought them to mind, The SAME Holy Spirit that inspired the words of letters written by Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude .

ALL scripture is inspired

Paul was selected by Christ as an apostle, he was taught by Christ and His words contain the teachings of THE NEW COVENANT

So although Christ alludes to salvation by Faith, the primary purpose of the gospels was a revelation of the divinity of Christ and that He was the innocent dying for the guilty

Actually everything needed for salvation can be found in the OT when illuminated by the Holy Spirit of God.But the doctrine of the new church is taught under the inspiration of the Spirit in the Epistles..

Yet, in spite of the consistency of the teaching of Grace and Mercy and salvation by Faith all through out the Scriptures, there are still men that prefer to ignore that and believe that they save themselves by keeping the laws and good works.. Pray for illumination

Well said. But, to the Protestants, Paul is their most quoted hope, if not god, it seems.
