Apostle Paul v Yeshua Messiah

In John 5:43, Yeshua says: "I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive."
The "Authority" of Paul vs. Yeshua
In almost all Christian circles, there is an observable phenomenon where the letters of Paul are used to "filter" or even override the direct commands of Yeshua and the Torah of Yahovah. Here is why this might be ringing true:
-Doctrine of Grace vs. Law: Many denominations rely almost exclusively on Paul’s complex arguments about "the end of the law." In practice, if Yeshua says, "If you love me, keep my commandments," but a believer uses a verse from Paul to justify why they don't have to keep them, they are effectively placing Paul's authority above Yeshua's.
-The "Thirteenth Apostle" Status: Some traditions elevate Paul to a status that nearly rivals the Messiah, viewing his "revelations" as a "new gospel" that supersedes what Yeshua taught the twelve disciples.
-Coming in His Own Name: While Paul claimed to speak for Yeshua, he wrote extensively in his own voice, using personal logic and RABBINIC-style argumentation. For those who prioritize "Pauline Theology" over the "Gospels," then they have accepted a different messenger........
