Only Paul, no-one else for today

[Rockerduck]

But surely the ministry of Jesus included teaching, which is what "doctrine" means. For example, we read:

NKJV Mrk 1:21 Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught.
Mrk 1:22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Indeed, in the same chapter, the word "doctrine" is used:

Mrk 1:27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."

Jesus did bring a "new" doctrine, that is, a different teaching than the Pharisees. Jesus taught the Kingdom of God is coming soon and proved He was the Messiah by miracles that only the God can do. However, Jesus didn't teach the qualification for a preacher and deacon. Jesus said, only in Mark 16:15-18 that those with Holy Spirit will not be poisoned and pickup snakes, heal people, and cast out demons. The Apostle Paul told of the gifts of the Spirits and the divisions of Church hierarchy. that is , some are preachers, teachers, prophets, evangelists, and Apostles. Without Paul's letters we wouldn't have the clarification of all Jesus taught; the age of Grace without works.

Agreed, that is why God has given us the whole Bible, including the gospels and the epistles.
