Please do some research. I have done mine.
Quit telling me what your opinion is or what your opinion isn't. Don't tell me what has been deduced. You have not presented any references or any facts. You say you have done some research, but you won't give your sources. You can't even tell me the name of your non-existant source because you do not know what you are talking about.
Well, you could care less!

You don't want to hear my opinion, and you don't want to hear what has been deduced.

So just go and do your own research.

Please, tell me, I PRAY THEE, why do I have to take YOUR word as fact?

Remember you could care less!

You seem not to understand the difference between "deduction" and "proof".

That's right, because your opinion is unsupported! Your deductiuons are worthless because you cannot back them up. You refuse to provide a single reference.

That is just more pitifull deflection. You have had ample opportunity to back up you opinions, but it is all vapor.

The reason you have not named the epistles, have not named the author who you imagine had written them, and have offered no evidence the epistles are all by the same author is because you do not have the ability to do so.

So, why are you constantly responding to my worthless posts? Why are you are asking me for my sources.

You are not making sense.

I respond to you because I don't think that you are worthless.

As soon as you do your research about the authorship of the Pauline Epistles your arguments will surely be vaporised.

You will see for yourself that it is probably universally accepted that one person wrote MOST of the Epistles to the Churches.

I can virtually guarantee that you will vaporise. I am just wating for the PUFF to clear, then SILENCE.

More deflection and evasion. You never offer any evidence to back up your opinions. It would be so easy to prove me wrong, if you had the ability to do so.

Simply,
1. Name the Epistles
2. Name the author you claim to have authored them
3. Offer evidence that all of the epistles in item #1 are written by the author of item #2.

Oh my goodness! Why is the self-confessed "could care less" poster trying to get information from his so-called "worthless poster"?

You are not making sense.

Please ask some-one whom you do not consider worthless about the authorship of the Epistles to the CHURCHES but, in any event, your vaporisation is inevitable.

It was you AA who said all the epistles were written by the same author. I should not have to ask someone else to explain your claims. Can't you do anything for yourself?

I am asking you to find out if your opinions are unsupported and therefore worthless. It is all vapor. But I would be very glad to be proven wrong. I would like nothing better than to say, AA you are not worthless.

All you have to do is answer three simple questions.

1. Name the Epistles
2. Name the author you claim to have authored them
3. Offer evidence that all of the epistles in item #1 are written by the author of item #2.

Again you post BOGUS and ERRONEOUS vapors.

I DID NOT claim that one person wrote ALL the Epistles.

Please read my posts carefully. This part of my post #3.

You could care less.

But, I will make your erroneous statements vaporize in front of your very eyes.

You keep changing your tune. :boohoo: That is I give you the opportunity to name the epistles you think are all by the same author. Otherwise, you will weasel and double talk your way around it. You are already weaseling with probably and most. Just list the epistles you mean by name, and quit being vaporous. :rolling:

It is very simple,
All you have to do is answer three simple questions.

1. Name the Epistles
2. Name the author you claim to have authored them
3. Offer evidence that all of the epistles in item #1 are written by the author of item #2.

I asked for some evidence to back up your claims. Is this the best you can do? If you would make an honest effort to communicate, we could have a good discussion.

But, this is so basic.

If there are Epistles at least one writer must have existed, unless they were all "divinely" generated.

If some writing of antiquity is found it must be from at least one writer, unless you think no writers did exist in antiquity.

This requires no proof just logical deduction.
