You have an affinity for stating "some scholars believe" and then claiming it as fact. No matter the case, you can't say that all other writers other that Paul are anonymous.

quote:

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are just the, you know. The Gospels. Which talk about Jesus


What do you mean Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are "just the, you know. The Gospels which talk about Jesus"? They are books of the New Testament not written by Paul that were written by identified writers.

quote:

the consensus is that [luke and acts] was composed by a (Koine)

The consensus? Care to identify this consensus? The only consensus I've ever heard is that Luke is the author of both.

Mathew wrote Matthew and it isn't disputed.

Mark wrote Mark.

John wrote John, 1st, 2nd, 3rd John and Revelation.

James wrote the book of James. It starts with "Greeting - James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion." Sue me for believing the book is written by James. (And for the record, I do believe it's authored by the half brother of Jesus, making it even more important that he identifies himself as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.)

Peter wrote 1st and 2nd Peter.

Jude wrote Jude and I've never heard it remotely questioned.

Not that it really matters, but it is disputed...heavily in fact. All four gospels were written by unknown authors and the names ascribed to them are only what they are because of church tradition. Nobody referred to Matthew as "The Gospel of Matthew" until at least 150 AD.

Stacked, where is your evidence?

Mine is: www.earlychristianwritings.com

I've given you the text here in the forum, it's now time for you to do some research for yourself.

I really can't give this any more on a silver platter to you. If you're not keeping up to date with contemporary criticism, you can't keep up with the conversation and it's just that simple.
