Well they might have to pull a Jefferson and cut the offending parts out with a scissors.
2 Peter 3:15 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;
(PETER CALLS PAUL HIS BELOVED BROTHER. AND CONFIRMS PAULS WRITTINGS AS WISDOM.)
16 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.
(HERE PETER CONFIRMS PAULS WRITTINGS ARE SCRIPTURE!)
JEWISH EPISTLES:
The epistles of James, Peter, John, Jude. Are each part & parcel of the Old Testament prophetic program laid out collectively for the Nation of Israel. Written primarily to Jewish believers of the Kingdom economy.
(FOOTNOTE: THE BOOK OF JAMES IS WRITTEN BEFORE THE COUNCIL AT JERUSALEM Acts 15. JAMES MESSAGE TAKES A MOMENTIS CHANGE AFTER THE COUNCIL AT JERUSALEM)
There is nothing in the Jewish epistles about the resurrection, which is central to our salvation. Or about Body of Christ, which NT believers have been baptized into via the Holy Spirit.
The Jewish epistles are preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. Taught by John the Baptist, Jesus during His earthly ministry & by the Twelve. Thier salvation was collectively based upon believing that Jesus was Israel’s promised Messiah, coming to begin His Kingdom reign.(Matt 16:16; Jn 11:27; Acts 8:37).
Paul is CHOSEN & SENT to the GENTILES (Acts 26:16-17) by the RESURRECTED LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF!
THE HEAVENLY MESSAGE THE RISEN LORD GIVES TO PAUL
Paul's message; is that FAITH in Jesus Sin Atoning Death, Burial & Resurrection leads to salvation (1 Cor 1:18, 15:1-4, 1 Tim 1:11)
The RISEN Lord gave Paul "a new gospel" (Gal 1:11-12). "Paul’s gospel of grace" (Acts 20:24) was different from the gospel of the Kingdom preached by Jesus & the 12. Rom 2:16, 16.25)
Its focus was not upon the identity of Messiah and His Kingdom promises to the Nation of Israel. But, upon the sin atoning, sacrificial work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul’s gospel of grace was that Christ died for our sins & rose from the dead (1 Cor 15.1-4). This gospel of salvation was not preached during Messiah's earthly ministry by Messiah's or His 12 chosen
Paul referred to this gospel as "my gospel" (Rom 2:16, 16:25, 2 Tim 2:8, Gal 2:2). It was different from the gospel Jesus & the 12 preached. Luke’s Acts account of the Council of Jerusalem make's this clear (Acts 15)
Paul revealed that his gospel was a "secret" (Rom 16:25). Again: The 12 had "NO" understanding Jesus would die & rise from the dead. Lk 18.31-34; Jn 20.3-10
HERE'S WHY GOD KEPT THE GOSPEL OF GRACE, A SECRET:
1 Cor 2:7 We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery (secret), even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world
8 No prince of this world knew: if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory
(IF SATAN, THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD HAD KNOWN. JESUS WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CRUCIFIED)
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS NEXT SCRIPTURE:
Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel
(God will judge men according to Paul's Gospel of Grace. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith)
