Who said anything about a forgery? We dont even use that word when we refer to magic book. We call them interpolations, and there are plenty.
The point, is that it's not surprising to find that the pauline establishment document of christianity matches the early christian documents we find, that were produced by the pauline liturgical apparatus. Controlling the flow of that information and establishing a unified theology were exactly what the proto christian authorities were doing at the time. Document production would explode shortly thereafter, as the christians captured the roman state, and wouldn't you know it..those docs match up too.
It's not a forgery when you faithfully repeat the version of the story your predecessors founded your subcult on, lol.
