Even if the claim I did not know what Paul is talking about was true, and it is not, you argument is flawed because miscommunication is a known to occur.StanJ said:Anybody who is fluent in English and grammar knows that Paul is talking about himself so obviously you are not fluent in English or grammar and there's no use arguing with you about something you refuse to admit.

Your error itself stems you confusing your own ideas with Paul's and the fact I disagree with them. That behavior is just a work of the flesh.
Your accusation falls on death ears because you are not an experts and experts have a higher opinion of my skills in English. In other words, I am not that insecure in my English skills.
I did skim through the argument and the male writes way more than required to make his point. Some is supposed to be entertaining but I find it an obstruction. Never the less, his argument is the context what reveals Paul's speaking. Verse five is deal breaker on that since Paul makes it clear he is not boasting about himself and pretending to be humble. That would be false humility.StanJ said:..
If you would have read the link I posted you would understand how Paul was writing and in what fashion, but as you refuse to read it and/or you were unable to comprehend it, then there's nothing else that can be said until you learn.

Knowing that it seems obvious the writer believes Paul should have mentioned his encounter with Jesus in his defense of his apostleship and so forced that interpretation into Paul's words when Paul instead confessed that he would not boast. Those words infer that speaking events that occurred on the road to Damascus, Lebanon would have been boasting because his hearers already knew the story. He chose to demonstrate humility by boasting of the accomplishments of another.
That is an explanation with some speculation based on knowledge. You have a different knowledge base so may make different speculation of why each male made the choices they did but the bottom line is Paul is clearly not speaking of himself because of the wording of verse 5 and Paul's aversion to acting with false humility.
