Well, Jesus' words are more important than any human being's, He is the Son of God.
However, if you know the history behind Paul's epistles, and you understand that they were meant for specific churches with specific problems at a specific time in history and not doctrine for all time; you will see that he doesn't really contradict Jesus at all.
Exaggeration was often used by the Jews to make a point. A perfect example is when Jesus said "you must hate your mother and father" to follow Him. Did He mean hate literally? No, of course not. He was using exaggeration, just as Paul does at times.
I'll give you a modern day example of this: "I could kill you". Most of the time this is meant jokingly, but if it were written into a historical document, it might well be taken as an actual threat.
We have to take the culture of the people, as well as the time of the writing, into our interpretation of any historical document.

Jesus the Messiah and the true son of God.... Paul was only a follower disciple of Jesus, Paul was only a man . he wrote down the word on paper that made him a teacher ? Paul got the words used from Jesus. Jesus told Paul what exactly what to write.like when rest men and women in the Bible said, what shall i say to get the ones to believe me? God said, let Holy sprit tell you what to do and say when you need him.

When it comes to the Bible, we must not make any judgments about whose teachings are more important. At the time that Jesus was teaching, His teachings were important. It was not yet Paul's time to teach. But when it was Paul's time, his teachings were important as well, because Paul was chosen by Jesus to spread the gospel to the ancient world.

Jesus' hands down. Jesus is God, Paul was just a disciple of Jesus.

Well considering that everything Jesus ever said couldn't fill an A4 sheet of paper in 12 pt Times, I guess Bible followers would have to truthfully say Paul's. They won't admit it though. They say Jesus spoke through Paul.
