That is supposition on your part. Most Bible teachers would say that it supplements and completes the Gospels. Jesus gave his teaching to unconverted Jews under the Mosaic Law. Paul gave his teaching to born-again Gentile Christians. There is a major difference. Paul remained consistent with the teaching of Jesus, but qualified it for converted Christians.The entire Paul's letters are just appendix to the gospel books.
Which parts? I have compared most versions with my interlinear Greek New Testament and I don't see any major differences. I have a friend who has a PHd in classical Greek and, being an expert in the field, she wouldn't agree with you. So, unless you are a Greek scholar like she is, your comment is pretty unreliable.I don't agree that spiritual gifts have ceased. I don't consider Bible to be perfect since it has been manipulated, mistranslated, misquoted, added, deleted, etc.
You seem to slide out of any arguments supporting the use of tongues by asserting that Paul is sometimes right and at other times speculative. It seems to me that Paul is speculative only in the areas where you don't agree with him.Yes, speaking in unknown tongue is not supported by any another book or author in the entire Bible. Do you imitate Paul or Jesus. Paul will not sanction salvation for you
For example, Paul's statement that there is no condemnation to those in Christ was never said by Jesus anywhere. Does that mean that Paul is wrong there? New Testament prophecy as described by Paul is not mentioned anywhere else either. Old Testament prophecy was entirely different and for a different purpose - to warn Israel about their faithfulness to God. But Paul said that New Testament prophecy needs to be judged by others. Old Testament prophecy did not have that, so nowhere else in the Bible is judgement of prophecy supported. Does that mean that it is wrong to judge prophecy? Or that prophecy is not for our churches, because it is not supported anywhere else in the New Testament in the same way that Paul taught it in 1 Corinthians?
Consistency, thou art a jewel!!
