Ah yes... the inspired Word of God fallacy. Did you know anyone can make such claims? Did you know Joseph Smith did the same thing? But of course his inspiration was false despite Mormonism being one of the largest sub-sects of Christianity...
The "inspired Word of God" is not immune to the corruptions of man. And history has proven that the Bible is not as Holy as Christians need it to be. I mean Jefferson wrote his own version and lived well into his 80s after being the 3rd President of the greatest country ever established. Of course I see it as his version brought Christ to groups of people who otherwise wouldn't listen and that's all that matters in the end; Jesus. If Jesus didn't say it, then I have my doubts about it. Paul... whether chosen by God or not, was just a man like you or I. And so yes, his interpretation should be reduced to just that. He is not above Jesus, yet people like you quote him like he is... and that's part of the problem.
So I assume the Holy Spirit holds no sway over you? If that's the case, then I'll keep you in my prayers. To compare an apostle of Christ to Joseph Smith or Thomas Jefferson is a mistake. You have your doubts if Jesus didn't say it. If that's the case then how can you be sure that the words of Jesus as transcribed by mere men are accurate? Faith in the inerrency of the Bible is a must, otherwise you're just making it up as you go along by picking and choosing what is convenient for you. This leads to false religion and I think we all know where that leads.
