"Mr G and others although different to Mr G, are reading this verse with a preset mind. "
"And just to clear things up, NO I do not believe Paul's writings in the current form are wrong."
That's all well and good but doesn't address the issue that what Paul literally wrote is according to your expanded view, not true.
That's how it is or all those other Christians and Bible readers would have the same view as you.
They are well aware of the principle of interpreting in the light of other verses etc yet still read those verses as meaning what the words literally say.
Remember, Paul's letter was addressed to fledgling early Christian converts whose faith was supposedly being challenged by others downplaying the divinity of Jesus. These early followers did not have access to all the NT writings and would most likely not have interpreted OT writings as referring to Jesus.
Paul meant to keep it direct and simple and no doubt chose his words very carefully.
So, once again 4th time, how would you re-write what Paul wrote so that it corresponds with what he should have written.
