Very good. My point is that Paul’s Epistles did not ‘have’ to be massaged, and I never said that.
My point in my prior post is that ‘there is no reason to suppose that they weren’t’ [massaged], since there is evidence of multiple versions of each NT book. I strongly suspectthat there were attempts to reconcile each selected NT book to each other by version selection.
How else can you explain multiple versions of each book; further, how else can you explain the selection of which particular version?
