Paul is not Jesus, he's a man. Mathias was named by Jesus, not Paul. I understand Peter was convinced, but again, Peter is also a man. The fact that any number of them can be fallible means that all their ideas are subject to maximum scrutiny. Jesus was perfect and therefore anything He said and did trumps anything Paul and Peter claimed.
Saying you need Paul to understand Jesus is like saying Jesus was too stupid to have gotten all His intended message out... Yeah in 33 years I think He said and did more than enough. I also think there's parts of His life that's unaccounted for. Point is, Paul is a man. If Jesus is perfect, then by default He's always above Paul.
You don't need Paul to understand Jesus. You only need Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. The rest is pretty much optional and each person needs to choose for themselves.
None of that answers the question -
If you're going to claim Paul's writings lead to division and are the reason for the "mess we're in", you should be able to give several examples.
And your claim about not needing Paul to understand Jesus but then only listing Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is completely wrong.
You need the entire Old Testament in order to understand Yahusha HaMashiach, and that's according to His own words.
John 5:39
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Luke also records how Yahusha HaMashiach broke down the Old Testament for the apostles after He rose from the dead.
Luke 24:27
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
And Luke breaks it down even further later on in that chapter-
Luke 24:44-49
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
In order to understand what they were waiting for in Jerusalem, and what happened next, the Book of Acts is required reading as well.
I find Paul's writings expand my knowledge of Old Testament scripture and how it relates to the Gospel, and recommend the Book of Hebrews out of all of his epistles.
