We also have Joseph's Smith's assertion regarding his authorization from God and Jesus.  

And Pat Roberson's, and Jimmy Swaggart's, and Tammy Faye Bakkers . . . .

See the problem there ?

You need to read what each says and determine if it's reconcilable with what came before. Paul frequently quotes the OT to support his positions. Also, according to Paul and two other NT authors, Paul was vetted by Jesus' apostles. So, if you have specific items from Paul which you think are irreconcilable, we can discuss them, but a blanket but Paul said some different stuff  isn't much of an argument.
