Re: Deconstructed Letters of Paulos
Ok, with the, imo, more possibly original letters of Paulos, namely the Correnthian and Philippian letters posted above, it is time to move on to the letter to the Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians). I am quite frankly on the fence over this but have a reasonably good feeling about it being original to Paulos. For one, it just sounds like Paulos. Also, the letter seems to be made up of two smaller letters very much like the Corinthian and Philippian letters. These four seem to be the only letters attributed to Paul that share this trait.
So, with no further adu here we go. Enjoy!

Re: Deconstructed Letters of Paulos
Ok, now for Romans.
Even this stripped down version, missing chapter 4 and chapters 9-11 along with a bunch of passages, felt to be interpolations by various scholars, I still think that, if there is any Paulos in this 'letter' (still waaaaay to long to be an actual letter) he is being hijacked by later authors. But here it is anyway.
