Paul never believed that the new revelations from God superceded the Old Testament. He believed that they were a fulfillment and completion of it. In doing this he was following the example set by Jesus.
Quote:
Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
(Luke 24:44-47 ESV)

Religious beliefs do not stay the same. If you follow history of them and how they keep breaking up into different denominations, it shows that it's an everchanging process, as new revelations as being revealed.

Religious beliefs change but that doesn't mean that God is revealing new truths. Many people reject what God has said and invent new beliefs.
