@dwells, I thought I answered you. I guess I'll answer it more plainly. I believe that Paul's writings, and that of the whole New Testament, are inspired by God and equal in authority as the Old Testament because God "told" me they are, and I believe Him. The witness of the Holy Spirit within me convinces me that the New Testament is as inspired and Authoritative as the Old Testament. Taking that and combined with the fact that Christians everywhere have believed the New Testament to be inspired shows me that my internal witness of the Spirit is witnessed by countless others, so the matter has been established by 2 or more witnesses. I could go into my personal research as to how the books of the Bible came about, who wrote them, who accepted them as Canon, but all that would do is prove the over all witness of Church history.
Now, what say you?
