Quote: I don't think that basing an argument on the number of scrolls depicted in a 13th Century painting is a wise choice.
It's an example and obviously lost on someone like you. NOnetheless, the pastorals are universally considered forgeries except by fundie fuckups and I share Carrier's opinion of them. Of even more note is the far more recent determination by scholarship that even the so-called "authentic" epistles of nothing but mash-ups of multiple letters.
I must say, I always thought that "paul" was drivel. Now I know why. These were not coherent works but shit strung together by later editors. But let's get past the pastorals first. I've got time.
