    e.g. Proverbs is allegedly sourced from Paul even though the scholarly consensus is that it’s counterfeit, and written after Paul by a ghostwriter.

    Proverbs is Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and attributed to King Solomon, not Paul.

      I might be thinking of Thessalonians. Not a biblical scholar, I, but there are still known late-age revisions known by scholarly consensus that are yet regarded as canon by major religious ministries.

      The bible also teems with internal conflicts and passages that are commonly misinterpreted in modern theology, so it has to be negotiated with.
