Every word of God is pure, therefore using profanity is okay.

Would you agree that Paul had authority that we do not?

I would agree that two authors of the bible spoke on his authority.

Paul proclaimed his writing as scripture, and so did Peter.

However, it is questionable if all letters of Paul were actually written by Paul. So whether the deutero works presented by the disciples of Paul have the same authority .. is another question.

I somewhat disagree on details.

Paul called his writes "commandments of God". Not Scriptures. Also, 1st and 2nd Corinthians is probably 3rd and 4th Corinthians. Leaving commandments that we have not received.

Just saying that Paul had authority that we do not have. Thusly, such uses employed in this manner are not necessarily optional to others.

Paul may have had authority that we do not have. However, since "the author is dead" .. no one can interpret the letters as if they were Paul so ..

As others have rightfully witnesses, they certainly are from the teachings of Paul and they agree with the remainder of historical Scriptures.

I don't see your argument as being valid. The apostles had authority to speak for God. We do not have that same authority. Bare minimum.... there is no doubt we have a pure quality of derivative evidence no matter who claims others actually wrote or continued Paul's teaching

I took an apologetic approach to answering your challenge. Feel free to do the same.

There is no contextual disagreement between the narrative found in the writings attributed to Paul in the NT and the canonical OT. These words are based upon the canonical OT.

If you know otherwise, please share.

Yes, those who judge without mercy will be judged without mercy.

Sounds like another thread, no point in derailing this one.
