100,000 different churches are leaning on their own understanding not the understanding the Apostles

Likely every single one of them would say that same thing about the Catholic church.
1. Peter , James and John were fishermen.The Catholic CHurch leans on the understanding of the Apostles and their students. Not the writings of Calvin for example who was a lawyer.
2. Calvin was a Catholic who likely argued that he was relying on the same tradition ideas you claim to hold to.
3. you pivoted from "lean on understanding of the Apostles" to "apostles and their students".
And Paul pointed out in Acts 20:29-30 that some of those "students" were going to go off into grievous doctrinal error.
likely ever single denomination argues that same point.Others go with the interpretation they like the most and we go with the interpretation of the original Church founded by Christ
Far be it from me to argue that only Jewish Christians in the NT had correct doctrine.Could it be because the CHurch of Jerusalem was made up of Jewish Christians? At that point there were no Gentile believers or they were few and far between.
Paul said "all scripture is given by inspiration from God and is to be used for doctrine" 2 Tim 3:16.Are you forgetting how St Peter ended up agreeing with Paul that the Gentiles should not be bound by Jewish Law?
Are we talking about the same "Paul"??
