You do not have the right to interpret Paul for yourself. Paul was a Catholic Priest, Apostle, and Saint. His teaching is Catholic teaching, and vice versa.
Exactly. Thank you for supporting my point.
It's not possible for Paul to have been a Catholic priest.
LIAR! Why the hell do you keep repeating this lie about my views, BF. You are not being a Christian when you bear false witness against or are an accuser of the brethren. You know that my views are based on God's Holy Spirit of agape love and forgiveness as revealed by Jesus Christ on the Cross and described in YOUR Bible.
well mike if you have taken the time to read what the church believed for the first 500 years you would know that what the church believe now is incorrect. I really hope if you have not read it yet that you will.

That means that the incorrect interpretations need to be revised using the revelations of God's Holy Spirit of agape love and forgiveness by Jesus on the Cross.

Right. So because it was "interpreted incorrectly" you simply rip it out and toss it.

So how again was I not correct in what I stated?
Because I do not toss it! I reinterpret it using what they had to mean given the True Nature of God as revealed by Jesus (NOT what I like or do not like!).

I've refrained from responding because it's off-topic for this thread, but since a second poster has chimed in, I just have to say the following:
The Church has always been Catholic from its inception at Pentecost when believers from all nations were gathered and the confusion of Babel was undone.
Of course Paul and Peter knew that the Church was καθολικός. There's really no debate here.

Right. You "reinterpret it".
lol...sure. Bottom line is that it's subject to what you believe about Jesus.
