There was a quote in a ragazine that said "First century Christians accepted the letters of Paul without the need to check and make sure the info was from Jehovah" it was something along those lines. I cant reallllly remember at the moment LOL it was a shot in the sark I guess

Oh, yes. This is why Paul is always super-sensitive, almost a braggart reciting his credentials to congregations he founded. They knew his credentials already. Other Christian missionaries from Jerusalem were appalled by Paul's teachings. Paul had to write to maiintain any of his teachings. You don't need external sources. Paul's genuine letters are full of the inner controversies.
This is why James and Peter entered the picture. To a Jewish Christian, Paul was heretical.
Long before the finding of Nag Hammadi, scholars knew for certain that other Christian groups opposed Paul. His letters were the reason. Well, read WT literature exclusively and no one will know anything in the Bible itself.
