How should the Apostle Paul's writings be treated? Should they be treated as absolute scripture, or more of a "secondary role" for lack of a better term? Perhaps it depends on what is being talked about because some of what he says is from Yah while other things are his own opinions.
Let me know what you think.

For me this falls into the same category of how to I interpret Yeshua's teachings. We always have to keep Deut 13 in mind which tells us how to deal with a false prophet (I carry this through to teachers as well).
v4 & 5 "You shall walk after the Lord your God and you shall fear Him, and you shall keep His commandments and you shall listen to His voice, and you shall serve Him, and cling to Him. 5 But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has counseled rebellion against the Lord your God who brought you from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, to draw you away from the way in which the Lord your God has commanded you to walk. So you shall remove the evil from among you."
If Yeshua, Paul or anyone else teaches against the Torah then we know to reject them.
Therefore, in my view, if I then read the New Testament and it explains "away" the law or teaches a "new" way of how I should keep it then that writer in its entirety becomes a false prophet and I reject them. So, I am very careful to read the Bible in a way that proves Torah, rather than prove it away.
If something is legal or illegal in the Torah and any writer now comes and says the contrary then either I am reading into what the writer said or that person is false and I reject them.
This is even more so important to understand for all the sensitive subjects.
