Did Paul intend for his writings to be Holy Writ?

Apparently the manual ... most importantly the article on Holiness and Fundmental Doctrine must be affirmed every two years and the bible doesn't.

Excellent questions, perhaps make a good poll.

Doubt would get that many affirmatives on this forum, but might on a couple others that come to mind.

For example ... there is no prohibition of jewelry in the Old Testament ... furthermore it is celebrated by God in dressing Israel metaphorically ... Patriarchs used it ... the Jewish people use it until this day... Jesus speaks of it as a reward in one of his parables ....

Yet, modern-day truth bearers ....when formulating doctrine .... use prooftexts from two of his letters to teach that God is against jewelry.

I believe when Paul was teaching about modesty, it was for people that "dressed up" in their expensive clothes and jewelry and thought they were better than others. It wasn't just what they wore but their spirit that were wrong. The spirit of pride. Look at me, look at me, I have all this and you don't. And it was being a stumbling block to some new believers. It isn't the jewelry that is wrong. And remember what the Israelites did with their jewelry to make the golden calf.

Its odd that Bro. Dan would start this thread. I have just begun reading (for the first time) "The Lost Books of the Bible". It contains "The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Laodiceans"

I wonder if he ever wrote to the church at Lesbos. "Paul's First Epistle to the Lesbians".
