[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Paul opens his letters with the Greek "charis" (grace) and the Hebrew "shalom" (peace). The standard secular greeting at the time was the Greek "chairein" (greetings). There's no reason to think Paul's openings were anything more than good wishes to his readers.[/quote]
Great. Now deconstruct the rest of his letters and show why what he said isn't what he said.[/quote]

Seriously, that's your answer? It's a good response to OP. (You're clearly the mean evangelical and not OP.) Why are you responding with snark instead of addressing this point? [/quote]
Actually, I'm the OP. I'm sorry if I got snarky there for a minute, but this is not a good response to the OP. In the OP itself, I prefaced everything with this as a side note saying that it's interesting to me, but not meant to be anywhere near the thrust of what I cited to show that Paul claimed to be speaking for God. To call this into question and not address the rest of the numerous citations doesn't really add up to much. If someone could deconstruct the plain language of the rest of the Scripture verses I cited, and then add this in as a final nail, that would be one thing. But instead, the PP picked up only this point as though that proved anything.[/quote]
