I think this is a marvelous explanation of the passages by Paul… but for what reason, I wonder?

Seems to me you are wrestling a paper tiger. The presumption of the authority of this writing belies any true scholarship of it.

No one… Christian, Jew or Buddhist … needs Paul telling us what is right or wrong. (Especially when it comes to women, lying or preaching the Gospel).

Authority of scripture comes from its TRUTH, not from its existence. When scripture strays from truth, it has no authority. All scripture that is inspired by Godliness is suitable for teaching… but not all scripture.
