An interesting article.

It claims :-

'Fourth, the text uses other phrases that Paul himself would not normally use, like ‘the Twelve’, ‘the third day’, and others. These points reveal that this wasn’t Paul’s own material.'

It seems we can look at Paul's letters, see that there are certain unusual words, decide Paul would not normally use them, and conclude that they are not Paul's material.

Strange that fundies do this and then say that it is only liberal presuppositions that allows claims that 1 and 2 Timothy are , on stylistic grounds, not Paul's material.

Double-standards? I think so.....

Yeah, it is pretty inconsistent. The evidence for the Pastorals not being written by Paul is vastly better then the evidence that the article presents about I Cor. 15.
