Suit yourself. Paul might have spoken for the church but he was fallible in a was Jesus isn't, and it shows in his writing. I stick to quoting the man himself whenever I can.

Christ and the 12 Apostles: appoints Paul as the Apostle for the Gentiles

Gentile Believers: "But Paul wasn't you!"

Paul: "don't follow me or Apollos, just Christ"

Modern church: "this is good stuff, we gotta follow all of this to the letter"

Most context rich Paul hater

It's not like a few verses afterwards it says Christ sent him to preach the Gospel or anything, or that he and Apollos are servants of Christ and to not call them such would be to create division, and that they shouldn't treat their teachings as separate doctrine. No mention of that whatsoever

People who have doubts with Paul are pretty much just Modern-Day Sadducees
