.....There are probably more Biblical scholars who support Timothy being written by Paul (and the letter opens with it saying it's been written by Paul), than modern scholars who don't. Some of the modern Biblical scholars out there are atheists or hostile to the Christian faith. The attacks on Pauline authorship are often merely attacks on the faith. .[/quote]

Yeah, no.  Other than Bart Ehrman and Richard Carrier I'm unaware of anyone else who would call themselves a "Biblical scholar" and be atheist / agnostic.  In my experience, the field is overwhelming dominated by believers of a variety of Christian denominations AND, at least from what I remember, the Timothy forgery isn't disputed by most.  Can you cite some scholars who believe none of Timothy was a forgery?  It seems like the dominant position is that at least some of those Timothy letters were forged and this is coming from an audience that overwhelming believes in the divinity of Christ.[/quote]
Isn't Ehrman the one pushing Timothy as an actual forgery?[/quote]
