You have missed the point completely: The fact that Paul's epistles have come through God's providence over His word down through history, shows them to be approved by God. What present day preachers do with it has no bearing on God's providence. Only time will tell. But in the case of Paul...time has already told the truth, which only God could have allowed in His providence. Since God has already approved Paul's writings - you cannot disapprove them.
More than one of Paul's teachings conflict with that of Jesus.
However, Jesus did forewarn when he was alive in his earthly ministry in Matthew 24.
I think the reason Christianity is divided today and the world is in the state it is in is because Jesus truth has been largely overshadowed by what is false.
But we were forewarned and Jesus would have known what was to come. I think that is why we should take comfort in the other scriptures that tell us of the father calling to him those whom he chooses. This so that we know the Bible is not that door to salvation but God's spirit calling us forth is.
I have read these and other low end polemics; when even relatively high end scholarship cannot make this case convincingly, I see no point in downmarket polemics.
Jesus warned of false prophets.
John called Paul indirectly as a liar!
James and Hebrews contradict Paul's convenient theology!

Tell me whether apostle Thomas preached the convenient concepts and assumptions of Paul when he was ministering people in India?
Jesus forewarning was enough.
One man's book/life is no match for the providence of God to approve or disapprove Paul's writings throughout the greater history of His word and His purpose. History attests to God's approval, which makes it indisputable by you or the author of such a book. Your reference to another source other than the time-tested approval of God over the providence of history regarding His word, is the very thing Jesus warned about.Jesus warned of false prophets.

It is also an established fact that precisely for this reason, Paul was taught directly and personally by Christ for many years.It is very much known fact that Paul was not a part of the earthly ministry of Jesus.
Paul had access to Luke's Gospel.He had no occasion to hear the parable explained by Jesus to chosen apostles.
Paul's enemies also accused him of craftiness and guile. Nothing new here, and totally false.Being a crafty scholar, he fabricated populist suggestions and imagined stories that have nothing to do with Jesus' preaching.
You may want to read The Life and Epistles of St. Paul by Conybeare and Howson (Eerdmans). It will give you an excellent insight into Paul.You may want to read "Did Saint Paul Deviate From the Gospel?"
As did St. Paul.
No.
No, rather they contradict Martin Luther's greatly erroneous reading / mistranslation of St. Paul. St. Paul is not Martin Luther.
For those people prepared to accept downmarket polemics, sure.
I rather doubt you have much knowledge of St. Paul given that thus far your criticsm seems to be primarily of Sola Fide, which as much as Martin Luther may have wished otherwise, was not actually authentic Pauline doctrine.
How do you know of His forewarning? From what source did you obtain this information?

I say again: You cannot dispute what God has already approved.

Which were faithfully preserved and handed down to you by the Church that regards St. Paul as a holy Apostle.
What other books do you suggest we believe in?
Read apocryphal books and other books, such as, Acts according to Thomas, Peter, John. etc. that may help in understanding what was going on instead of books by rank outsiders, such as Luke and Paul! You believe in the history/fiction of outsiders or of present witnesses?
None was a holy apostle, let alone self-proclaimed Paul! Subsequent tradition of a church was not what was revealed in the Bible!
The published book "Did Saint Paul Deviate From the Gospel?" elaborates on this.
Paul maniacs are dead blind to his greatest hoodwinking in any religion with his bluffing!
One can read through his life and letters to arrive on such a conclusion with the help of the Holy Spirit.
It is the Holy Spirit prompting.
