There is more than enough scripture in the OT for one to know and come to Jesus as He Himself said.
You do understand that not only Paul but :
Matthew
Mark
Luke
John
James
and others were ALL used by God to make known what He wanted known to mankind.
When you cut off everyone including Jesus' teachings you do yourself great harm !
Who do I cut off? Who do others cut off? I submit most of us know more about the OT than you do, and more about the Gospels than you do. At least by what I've seen from you so far.
It's your insistence that all is "ignored" except Paul that is error. We had to know what they were saying before we knew there was a difference. It's why people keep saying you are lying, because you've been told, but you aren't hearing. It's as though you're deliberately stopping yourself from hearing what's being said. I think you donkeyed down right from the start, and you have your fingers stuck in your ears as you speak. You were reluctant to move on into the deeper things of God.
What we have learned from Paul is not found in the OT or the Gospels. We know, through him, that the law has specific purposes. That it was give to show men their sin and find them guilty before God.....leading them to Christ through faith. We know what the Law can't do and was never meant to do. We know that Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. We know about justification of faith. It's spelled out when it was only hinted at in the OT. We know about being baptized by the Spirit into the body of Christ. None of that would have been known without Paul's preaching. And, we know about the indwelling Spirit...which had only been hinted at when the Lord was about to be crucified.
Nope, you may be where you are right now without Paul's teachings, but those who have been justified by faith would not be where we are without Paul. Surely you trust that the Lord Jesus Christ knew what He was doing when he waylaid Paul on the road to Damascus?
