Revelation Of The Mystery? (His Doctrine in Romans - Philemon)
Of course, Under God's Other Context Of Grace for The ( Heavenly ) ONE Body
Of Christ, Which began with ( ONE apostle ) Paul, Baptized By The ONE Spirit,
as the first 'member' of the ONE New man...
(Ephesians 2:15; 1 Timothy 1:16; Romans 11:13; Ephesians 4:5;
1 Corinthians 12:13),
...it is ( as Paul states 21 x ) "But Now":
1) Have repentance toward God (change mind about sin/agree
With God "it is Wrong!") (Acts 20:21)

2) Have faith toward The LORD Jesus Christ (Acts 20:21), and trust/believe The

In Romans Through Philemon? (1 Timothy 1:10; 2 Timothy 4:3; Titus 1:9):
Titus 2:1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
And, of course, This would then Be UNnecessary, eh?:
C) Do I speak after following the Many, who homogenize A) + B) into
Massive Confusion?
Final question would be: Which Option, Under Grace Today, should I take
To Honor and Glorify God, Who Plainly and Clear Says in Romans 11:6:
"And if By Grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise
Grace is no more Grace. But if it be of works, then is it
no more Grace: otherwise work is no more work."

then there is A:
HUGE Difference between "Grace In a dispensation" and
"The ( Current ) Dispensation Of The Grace Of God," eh?
Amen.

Your argument is unbiblical. And is not even contextual to the very thread point.
What would we believe in regarding the Gospel of Christ if Paul's writings were not part of the Bible?
That has been answered with the word of God. FYI, Jesus speaking about John, said :
Luke 7:28-
28 For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
John did not witness the resurrection of Christ Paul did. Paul's witness is said in Acts chapter 9 and 1cor chapter 15. You were shown that Paul received his teaching from Christ. You are arrogant and prideful. And unbiblical.
pauls writings are epistles he sent to the Churches letters he sent addressing matters they didn’t understand
For instance “ Roman’s “ is short for “ Paul the apostles epistle to the church at rome “ Galatians is “ Paul’s epistle to the church at Galatia “ Ephesians is “ Paul’s epistle to the church at Ephesus “
then you have a few personal letters of Paul written from prison to particular people , two to Timothy , one to Titus and one to Philemon. Thessalonians Colossians ect are to the churches in those places furthermore the epistles of Peter and Paul and John and James and Jude were circulated among all of the churches
“And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.”
Colossians 4:16 KJV
this is one missing epistle we know about of course th re are claims but nothing really solid evidence wise as to an authentic letter to the ladoceans
