Lost Pauline epistles

[tonychanyt]

The following is from Wiki:

Paul's own writings are sometimes thought to indicate several of his letters that have not been preserved:

• A first, or "zeroth", epistle to Corinth, also called A Prior Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians,[11] or Paul's previous Corinthian letter,[12] possibly referenced at 1 Corinthians 5:9.[13]
• A third epistle to Corinth, written in between 1 and 2 Corinthians, also called the Severe Letter, referenced at 2 Corinthians 2:4[14] and 2 Corinthians 7:8-9[15]
• An earlier epistle to the Ephesians referenced at Ephesians 3:3-4[16]
• A possible Pauline Epistle to the Laodiceans,[12] referenced at Colossians 4:16[17]

The recipients of those letters were apparently not Inspired to copy and share them. I believe that the documents that were Inspired were copied and shared.

I've heard it put this way:

Wiki is to Britannica as Star Search is to the Julliard.

Anything beyond a cite where anyone can post?

I don't dismiss anything. I weigh everything. That includes your writings as well.

I appreciate that. When it comes to definitive statements, I approach it differently.

When it comes to Scripture I also do not consider inferences and possibilities, because both are subject to the interpretation of the reader and hold no definitive proof of anything.

As a minister I emphasize the known.

Our difference it you support a probabilistic (based on probabilities), and I take a literal (based on what is written), approach to both hermeneutics and most likely exegesis.
