Shlama,
...and if Paulus cannot be trusted, then Keepha himself is questionable, since he considered Paulus a brother and upheld his teachings, and even Luwqa becomes suspect, since he advocated for Paulus, so that strikes out the book of Acts, and Luwqa from the Gospels, as well.... ....what else do we wish to chop down? let's see, Yaquwb also extended fellowship to Paulus, so he gets the boot, as well. there are others, i'm sure. oh, Yeshuwa Himself ordained Paulus, so maybe we should simply reconsider the whole she-bang...? so we're left with a New Testament based on a handful of students who faithfully followed...nobody? seriously, the path you're on is destructive to your faith, and to the faith of others.
so here's a better alternative: read Paulus' letters in context, and you will find a different contextual content than what the typical Protestant bend is that you're espousing. especially, read the Peshitta - learn the ARAMAIC, not a translation, and be blown away by the subtle nuances which vindicate his teaching as correct and in line with the Messiah's.
btw, the Peshitta's account of Yeshuwa as the Son of Alaha is not a Pauline fabrication, but is trustworthy, and is supported by several passages in the TN"K, as well. think Psalm 2 and Proverbs 30, for starters. bearing false witness is an offense against the Holy One and your neighbor, so you might want to retract some of those statements once you see that Scripture says otherwise, even if the man is long dead.
