Some of what I read about the text seeming to not make good sense, and to make more sense if some of the 'Jewish' material (excuse my clumsy terms, as I said I'm still finding my feet here) is regarded as interpolated, seemed to seem fairly plausible to me. Aside from that you do have what seems to be a jumbled theology in places (well I do realise theologians can come along and reason anything into consistency, but let's say jumbled at 'face value' at least) and various other strange things which don't seem to make sense if we try to see the epistles as genuine letters written by Paul in the circumstances he (or the writer, if not Paul) describes in the letters.
