God's talking to you, why are you wasting time determining whether Paul wrote it or not? If it's in there it's inspired.

First, Chino, I'm just curious-- without looking it up, can you quote a single verse from Colossians?
Second, when a letter is written to you that says lots of things that your significant other might say to you, but you're not certain that your significant other is the actual author of the letter, would you try to find out who really wrote it?
To be fair, any effort to determine whether Paul wrote it or not probably IS "wasting time"-- I don't think anybody is going to figure it out anytime real soon-- but unless you believe that every word of the bible was written by God, I would think that an understanding of the authorship debate ought not be so quickly dismissed.
