Why do you claim to be a Christian if you call yourselves followers of Paul?
Paul says he follows Christ.
In NT times or early Christianity, there were no Bible to spread. So His followers had to follow faithful ones instructions. Paul happens to be one of them. He has no authority over His followers.
Now, Jesus faithful ones left Jesus' teachings in 4 gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Why do you preach to follow second hand teachings of His followers when we have direct word from Jesus.
Jesus is the perfect Teacher and the Lord of all His followers.
Matthew 23:8
But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.
Matthew 23:10
And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.
Jesus also says not to let anyone call you a teacher because He is the Teacher.
