What, specifically, do you want addressed? Will you simply ask me incessantly about what I think happened, for a better explanation - imposing nutty conspiracies on me..as you have been?Well, you mentioned the "Screwtape Letters" as an example of how you think the Pauline epistles were originally composed, which remains one of the dumbest things I've heard you thus far say in your multiple assertions that these letters formed a "fictional narrative" (wait, that's not your position now?) Beyond that you just keep deflecting.
Ah, there we go. You think that those letters were written for some specific church, rather than general readership? What makes you think that?
(and would it demonstrate that there was some historical Paul -even if they were-.....?)
As to your other question... why don't you read the fucking texts before you comment on them?
Try like... "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God... To all that be in Rome..."
Or, "Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians..."
