I do I suppose, since I don’t think that the Epistles of Paul were divinely inspired, but rather a reworking of older pagan religions that the gentiles would understand and stomach.

Whoa!!!! You don’t believe scripture is divinely inspired? Wow! Even Peter claimed Paul’s writings were scripture.

2 Peter 3:15b. As also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given him, [16] as in all his letters, speaking concerning these matters, in which some things are hard to understand, which those who are untaught and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do also THE OTHER SCRIPTURES. [17] You then, beloved ones, being forewarned, watch lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being let away with the delusion of the lawless.

So you don't believe Peter either?
