Why is it that Christians often explain their beliefs (especially when it comes to homosexuality) by quoting the books about and writings of Paul (Acts, Romans, Corinthians, Phillippians, Thessalonians), instead of relying on the Gospels of Christ (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John)? Paul never met Christ, and was often at odds with St. Peter, finally breaking ties with Peter (the "rock" on which Christ said His church would be built) a few years later.
If Peter was the rock on which Christ's church was to be built, and Paul never met Christ and broke away from Peter, why does the work of Paul have so much influence over Christianity today compared to the Gospels and the works of Peter?
