I can't say I approve of all the arguments that Paul used, but the conclusion seems to be quite sound to me, as advice to people who already followed that religion.
And even if I don't, I still can listen to or read anything which is offered to me. Conversely, I can also offer what I will to any wishing to receive. It becomes theirs then. That's probably what the Christ is about. Paul seems to have understood this even if his supporting argument is flawed.
Edit to add: The irony! This looks like Paul proving by example that even with the weakest and lame debating skills, the conclusion is sound. Is that what's called "inspiration"?
