This is why I don't trust a single thing that you say. "Most scholars", lol.
I might think about this scripture before putting a bunch of junk out on these forums. God doesn't take to it kindly.
Except that the information isn't wrong and this isn't a slight against God or against Scripture. It's simply a fact that the majority of New Testament scholars, both Christian and non-Christian, regard the Pastorals (sans Philemon) as later works, not written by St. Paul himself. That's not an attack, because regardless of whether they are authentically Pauline or not doesn't change the fact that they are Scripture and belong in the Canon--a place they have had for as long as the Church has been talking about a Canon.
A critical examination of Scripture shouldn't be a threat to faith. The history of the Biblical Canon is a very fascinating one and deserves more attention then it gets, too often the history of the Canon gets replaced by empty claims made by believing and skeptic alike. The actual history of the Bible is far more interesting than the fictional narratives often brandied about in the modern age.
