Who wrote the Quran? Certainly not the authors of the Christian Bible.

Certain scholars translated the Semetic text to English from Hebrew,Aramaic,and Greek. The easiest way to is to assume that Mark wrote Mark, Matthew wrote Matthew, Luke wrote Luke and so on.

Translating Semetic [sic!] text to English from Greek is certainly an inspired accomplshment.
And it's inspiring to see you standing firmly on a bedrock of easy assumptions.
By the way, which certain scholars did you have in mind?

Easiest is not always the best. And in this case, it definitely is not the best.

The ones mentioned in the explanatory introductions and prefaces of certain translations.
Another thing, the POV is reading from the perspective of Faith and not just knowledge.

So you have no scholars you ca point to? The vast majority of scholars no longer attributes the Gospels to the traditional authors. The reason being that there is no evidence that Mark, Matthew, Luke, or John wrote anything. That is a later tradition that really has no evidence supporting it.

That is speaking of scholars in a modern age, not the age which Jesus lived.

That seems like a really bad assumption.
Personally, when I'm confronted with three texts that agree word-for-word in many places, I assume that at the very least, the common passages were all written by the same person.
Also, as for Luke, I would think that it's a bad assumption to assume that it was written by an Apostle, seeing how the preamble of the Gospel of Luke implies that it was written by someone who was not an eyewitness of the deeds of Jesus.
A sincere and serious recommendation: let the thread die and stop embarrassing yourself.

Yeah. Meaning these scholars are better.

Why wouldn't Luke or Mark be the authors of their gospels? . .

Did they claim to be the authors of those Gospels? No they did not.

we dont really need to 'assume' who the writers were... there is enough internal evidence along with testimonials from the earliest christians as to who wrote what books.

To answer your question...
It is best to say GOD wrote the Quran. While Mohammad [peace be upon him] was illiterate & so many just recited -just like the early bible. many scribes wrote the valued verses down so the were not lost or changed.
Hope I helped you understand.

Yep. And I think that single point is one of the most overlooked, ignored, frightening truths of the whole gospel business.
A single writer wrote much of Matthew, Mark and Luke, and I think it's quite possible that a single writer wrote all of them. To me, they look like rewrites of an original (fictional) work, and it's usually the original author who does the rewrites.
