The writings of the apostle Paul are reasonably useful to some extent for teaching and rebuking in righteousness and you can get some good things done with sinners using them if you know how to apply them but they are not divine writings so beware of them. Most of them are actually quite sanctimonious, for without Law, there is no light which is to say love, for the first light (which is what love is) before men there ever was was the Word out of love's - God's - mouth, which is Law to a Jew, and faith, as it was from the very beginning of Israel, is believing in it. Faith is obedience to divine Law - the Words out of a lover's, who is a righteous man's or prophet's mouth. Indeed there is some liberty granted us by the Son of God, but it is best not to take full advantage of it. At least, this is my charism to the Churches of Christ. Read Ephesians, Collosians, Romans 1 and 2, 2 Thessalonians, and Revelation 21.
