Does teaching from Paul's letters mean the rest of the Bible is inappropriate?
No. The Pauline letters are emphasized because they contain fundamental truths for salvation, Christian walk, and local church operation in the Church Age. That emphasis never implies the rest of Scripture is inappropriate. Paul himself writes that all Scripture is inspired of God and profitable for reproof and instruction in righteousness.
Les explains that for this age of grace, the Church Age, Paul is the designated Apostle of the Gentiles. Therefore, the Pauline letters are where fundamental truths for salvation, the Christian walk, and the operation of the local church are garnered. Yet Les stresses this never means the rest of the Bible is inappropriate—God forbid. He points out that Paul himself writes that all Scripture is inspired of God and profitable for reproof and instruction in righteousness. Romans especially contains much that is fundamental for Gentiles, and that is why he teaches it.
