It seems Paul also wrote a different letter to the church at Laodicea. He wanted the church at Colossus to read it, and vise versa.
Since we do not have this letter, do we:
A. Write it off as not being "God breathed"
B. Suggest that Man corrupted (or hindered) God's will to share this epistle

It is very possible that we do have the letter to the Laodiceans, in that it was a circular letter, among the churches. Some scholars (william Barclay comes to mind immediately) believe that the epistle titled "Ephesians" is actually the letter originally written to the Laodicean church, circulated amongst other churches, eventually ending up, and being most prominetly identified with the church at Ephesus.
