Default Might Paul have written Hebrews?

We have had discussions here about at least three Pauls.

I think there is a base gnostic one, an amplified edited one and the non Paul stuff calling itself Paul.

Might Hebrews also be a gnostic Paul?

The verse about the great high priest has Jesus going through the heavens. This is assumed to refer to the Ascension, but does it?

It could refer to Jesus going through the heavens to the cross.....

The author of Hebrews is usually called "Anonymous." If instead we called him "another Paul," what difference would it make?

Unless you think that Zechariah 3 is gnostic, then Hebrews probably isn't gnostic either. There's a "Jesus the High Preist" in Zechariah 3, and Jesus is refered to as the "high preist" in Hebrews.
