It's not a forgery of a Pauline epistle. It was written anonymously and never mentions Paul. It's probably not even an epistle in that it has none of the typical greetings and other elements indicating it's an epistle. It was probably meant to be a sermon. Later Christians attached Paul's name to it to give it more credibility.
