You're not paying attention, or probably just ignoring. Paul was never one of the 12 disciples. He was a disciple born out of due time. (1 Cor. 15:8) And he saw the risen Christ. He didn't need the disciples approval of his apostleship.
But, note this. (2 Peter 3:15-16) "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction."
Couple of things you should see in these verses. 1.) Peter identifies Paul's writings as Scripture. 2.) You are mentioned in the last sentence.
So, you don't believe Paul's writings are Scripture. And Psalms can't be Scripture as it says the same as Paul said. Now, Peter's epistles can't be Scripture as he declares Paul's writings are Scripture. So again my question that you're scared to answer. What writings in the Bible do you consider Scripture?

Like I have explained many many times, when I have read (and understand the meaning thereof) of ANY scripture I either do not fully understand at the present time, I can give you an honest answer. You can allude to the meal before you eat or to the service, you can allude even to some apparant imaginary fear of your question, problem is you will likely not be satisfied one way or another.
God has given me all the time neccessary to learn what is being said from all perspectives (spirit, knowledge and commands...all of it) who says what to who and why.
I have raised many questions regarding Paul and like you have done above, like most who have been kind enough to answer, is to prove Paul by quoting Paul. I am not getting through to anyone when I say quote Paul directly by name outside of his own works, relate the warnings that you say you hear but cannot place them. What is genuine scripture in the bible, good question, can I still continue my research so I can get to that point of knowing. At best we have fragments of works that so far the writer cannot even be known. At present I am grappling with the clear (to me anyway) contradictions in the flow of scripture only until I read Pauls letters. If that offends you tough, it is my duty to use the bible as a historical, spiritual, migrationary time piece that itself alludes to error and rereading.
I wont trawl through this thread to use this as an opportunity now to re ask all the important questions that have been dodged or just to point score some silly arguement based upon differences in belief. I don't care if you or anyone else are certain in your own mind about anything of Paul, biblical or not.
I still do not see ANYONE here born again or without error. So far Jesus' words is where I am grounded, does that mean I write this person or that person off....NO, especially while I am reading Pauls letters.
