Essentially, you believe what Paul wrote because Paul told you believe what he wrote.

I believe that Paul has more space in the NT because the men who canonized the bible were Romans like Paul.
It was important for them to make Gentile inclusion an unquestionable doctrine, which they accomplished, until you read the actual words of Jesus.

That's funny. I believe what Paul wrote because Paul and I recognize the same Jesus.

paul was transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. he met Him. and you can tell he did because everything after that day, paul did for the glory of God and not his own. he humbled himself so that Jesus Christ would be lifted up in his words... this man was anointed by the Spirit to be the greatest evangelist ever.
paul made true what Jesus said in luke 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
do you really think it is paul we're quoting? paul's words were and are the words of Jesus. i don't see why so many can't fathom the prophet-God relationship. God speaks through men, and so does the devil. at the end of time though, the fleshy mask will be pulled off and the heart will stand as it is.

It's a silly question, since Paul spoke in the name of Jesus, and only said what God told him to say (except for one place, in which he admits that they were his own thoughts).
Now, let me ask YOU something - if you were an ambassador to a country, living in another country, would the president of the country you represent be unhappy that people listened to you as your ambassador?
Paul said that he was an ambassador for Christ. You got a problem with that? Or should we break down all international communications, as well?
(Good grief, what some people ask!)

If you remember his name was Saul, the Lord Jesus gave him the name of Paul. Jesus is very humble .

Not really. Paul just has more copy space than Christ.
I believe what I believe because I choose to believe it - not because Paul publishes more.

Since Paul invented Christianity, it seems that was his prerogative.
