Bullshit. What part of WE DO NOT HAVE THE FUCKING ORIGINALS is giving you the most trouble?
You, nor they, have any idea what may have been in the originals. As Ehrman notes, one of those so-called "authentic pauline epistles" is 2 Cor. which is an amalgamation of between 2 and 5 different letters. I submit in such a case there is no such thing as an "original."
You really have to stop listening to the holy joes out there and find out how badly you have been conned.
Your claim is that 2 Cor. is an amalgamation of 2-5 different letters. 1. Where is your evidence? 2. What difference does this make to 1 Cor, Galatians, or Romans?
