Did Paul use his phone cam, or is this a better quality video?

Not sure what you mean, but I personally don't use a phone cam. Although I could probably benefit from investing in better sound equipment.

The apostles didn't consider themselves to be writing scripture.

For the epistles, you may be right. For the gospels and Luke/Acts, I disagree. The realization that Christ wasn't returning any time soon inspired the need to record his life, ministry, and the history of the birth of the church. I'm sure they knew the importance of what they were writing...the sense of urgency comes across in the text.

The writing of the Gospels came long after Yeshua had departed in the cloud.

Matthew was the only literate disciple, and he waited over 20 years before writing, although that gospel had apparently traveled the literate world by the end of the century.

The Acts was clearly a treatise on how to live Torah.

P.S. my opening line was a wisecrack.
