that is a very twisted mind looking at things
so Paul is the TRUTH and every thing else is a lie?
Okay a good starting point
is there any contradictions of Pauls teachings with the rest of the Bible?
you answer me

First of all, you don't even have your "facts" right...the angel MORONI came to Joseph Smith, as well as many other ancient prophets. And your reference to "another gospel"...how is the gospel differently taught in the Bible and Book of Mormon? Just because YOU do not interpret it the same way we do, suddenly you are right or some sort of "religious scholar" and we should just all trust what you are saying? No thanks. I put my trust in the Lord and He has answered my prayers countless times. I have a strong testimony of the gospel and the truths restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Also - do you know about the different "forms" of angels???
This is what the Bible Dictionary states:
Angels
These are the messengers of the Lord, and are spoken of in the epistle to the Hebrews as “ministering spirits” (Heb. 1: 14). We learn from latter-day revelation that there are two classes of heavenly beings who minister for the Lord: those who are spirits and those who have bodies of flesh and bone. Spirits are those beings who either have not yet obtained a body of flesh and bone (unembodied), or who have once had a mortal body and have died, and are awaiting the resurrection (disembodied). Ordinarily the word angel means those ministering persons who have a body of flesh and bone, being either resurrected from the dead (reembodied), or else translated, as were Enoch, Elijah, etc. (D&C 129).
There are many references to the work of angels in the O.T. In some passages the “angel of the Lord” speaks as the voice of God himself (Gen. 22: 11-12). The word angel is also sometimes used to designate a human messenger, as in JST Gen. 19: 9-15, and may have some application also in Matt. 13: 39-42. There is evidence of nonmortal beings who serve God in heaven (1 Kgs. 22: 19; cf. Alma 36: 22) and also of some who do God’s will and minister to men on the earth (Gen. 28: 12; Gen. 32: 1; 2 Sam. 24: 16; 1 Kgs. 19: 5-7; 2 Kgs. 1: 15; 2 Kgs. 19: 35; Ps. 91: 11.
We find angels mentioned by name in Dan. 8: 16; Dan. 9: 21; Dan. 10: 13, 21; Dan. 12: 1; Luke 1: 19, 26. In latter-day revelation we learn that the angel Michael is Adam, and the angel Gabriel is Noah (HC 3: 386).
In the N.T. there are many references to the ministry of angels, but no clear statement as to their nature or their relation to mankind in general. Angels attended on our Lord throughout his life on earth (Matt. 1: 20; Matt. 2: 13, 19; Matt. 4: 11; Matt. 28: 2-8; Luke 1: 11-20, 26-30; Luke 2: 9-15; Luke 22: 43). Jesus often spoke of angels (Matt. 13: 14-30, 37-41; Matt. 16: 27; Matt. 18: 10; Matt. 22: 30; Matt. 24: 36; Luke 15: 10, etc.). The Sadducees did not believe in supernatural beings, but the Pharisees believed in both angels and spirits which fact Paul used to his advantage when brought before the Sanhedrin (Acts 23: 7-9). Other N.T. references are Acts 7: 53; 1 Cor. 4: 9; 1 Cor. 6: 3; 1 Cor. 11: 10; Gal. 1: 8; Gal. 3: 19; Col. 2: 18 (where we are warned against worship of angels), and throughout the Revelation of John. There are references to fallen angels in 2 Pet. 2: 4 and Jude 1: 6.
The scriptures speak of the devil’s angels. These are those spirits who followed Lucifer and were thrust out in the war in heaven and cast down to the earth. See Rev. 12: 1-9; D&C 19: 36-38; Moses 4: 1-4; Abr. 3: 27-28, and as alluded to by Peter and Jude cited above.
Latter-day revelation contains much about the nature, ministry, and identification of angels. See 2 Ne. 32: 2-3; Alma 12: 28-29; Alma 13: 24-26; Moro. 7: 29-31; D&C 7: 6-7; D&C 13; D&C 37; D&C 76: 21; D&C 110: 11-16; D&C 128: 21; D&C 129; D&C 132: 16-18. Angels do not have wings (HC 3: 392).
The word angel is used in various ways. A person who is a divine messenger is called an angel. Thus Moroni, John the Baptist, Peter, James, John, Moses, Elijah, and Elias all ministered to Joseph Smith as angels. These all shall be exalted and inherit celestial glory. The scriptures also speak of another class of persons who, because of failure to obey the gospel, will not be exalted and will become angels in eternity. These are spoken of as angels in Matt. 22: 29-30 and D&C 132: 16-18. This latter designation should not be confused with the use of the term angels having reference to the heavenly messengers sent forth to minister to the inhabitants of the earth.

It's funny how Jesus didn't say it and it was Paul, the true founder of modern day Christianity! How Jesus didn't preach to the Gentiles (non-Jews) but only to the Jews and Paul targeted the Gentiles instead.
The Romans and the Greeks, who made up the Gentile population of Paul's world, were pagans who worshiped a plethora of gods and goddesses. Temples and statues of their deities abounded in the land, and Roman law had it that all people, with the exception of the Jews, must pay homage to the gods.
Paul knew that people with such deep-reaching pagan beliefs were not going to accept the idea that grace and salvation could come from a person who was only considered to be a most upright and righteous human being. If Paul wanted quick results in his ministry, he knew that he would have to "modulate" things a bit, taking into account the culture of the Gentiles.
Paul Maier, in his book "First Christians", tells us that thirteen years elapsed between the time Paul "received his calling" and the time that he began preaching. During that thirteen years, Paul's creative mind put in a lot of overtime; when he finally returned to Damascus, he came back armed with the knowledge that the Gentiles would demand a tangible god within their new religion, and he was prepared to give this to them.
Paul was wildly successful in his subsequent missionary efforts, what with the accommodations he ended up making for the Gentiles. Although the religion of Christianity takes its name from Jesus Christ, Paul of Tarsus must be considered as its true founder, as he is the one who conceived all of its doctrines, and set up its churches throughout the world of his time. Christians don't deny this, either: "No figure in Christian history stands so tall or has had such a tremendous influence as has Saul of Tarsus..."

So apostle Paul words is higher than Jesus a.s? I'm a Muslim and i believe in Jesus.i believe in the divine spirit words that comes out from Jesus mouth. Not from apostle Paul. And who is apostle Paul to cursed the angels? God? I don't believe that Jesus say that words. Angels take direct instructions from God and their job is to obey and no questions ask. And please don't insult the gospel that Jesus teach.

but did Paul say this after the angels had visited the Mormon and Muhammad? he could have said it to discredit the other angels. At the end of the day we all have our own beliefs who are we to judge others for what they believe

I'm not a Muslim, but if you inspect a little about Paul, you'll notice that he himself is a fraud; an imposter; a fake prophet. He contradicted Jesus on more than one occasion and took liberties not even the apostle who were *with* Jesus could've taken.
