Well there you go, you claim no one offers any biblical contradictions, then when I give them you ignore them, hand waving.

Well there you go, the gospels are of unknown authorship. So much for your self proclaimed expertise.

Whatever version they believe, same as you do. Again 45k varyingly different sects and denominations does support your assertions that the bible is a reliable source.

That’s a far cry to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John being fictitious people just because they didn’t put their names to the Gospel stories.

Since they did not write them why would they have done so?

Who said they didn’t write them? Just because they didn’t take credit for them doesn’t mean they didn’t write them or that they aren’t true accounts.

Biblical scholars. The Bible itself tells us that Matthew Mark and John did not write the Gospels named after them. None of them were well educated men. The authors of those Gospels were well educated in classic Koine Greek.

You mean some biblical scholars opinion are they didn’t but many others do. Would you like the list of biblical scholars who disagree with you? If you are familiar with any good study Bible they have both views at the beginning of each book, they aren’t shy presenting both views from scholars.
I find it very fascinating the lengths atheists and skeptics go to in trying to discredit the Scriptures and to no avail. Why not just let it go, seems to really bother you all, why is that? You can talk all kinds of theory this, theory that, none can be proven yet you buy into those with no problem. Yet when talking about God, who you’re going to have to answer to, according to the Bible, it’s an allergic reaction.

No. Almost no Biblical scholars believe that they were written by those whose names are on them.
And I am rather amazed about your claim that the Bible is bogus.

See how you are? And why you can’t carry on a conversation. Oh well

LOL!! Look at the false claims of yours in the post that I responded to.
I merely responded as if your post was factual. Are you now owning up to the false claims in it?

You really need to learn to read what is posted, and not what you want to imagine people say.
Care to try again?

I said they didn't write them, and you then misrepresented that immediately.
They were not the real authors, the names were fabricated as the authors centuries later, ipso facto the names assigned the gospels were fictitious, by definition.

The names were made up later and assigned to the gospels to give the (false) impression the gospels written by contemporaries. They are hearsay, and the authorship is unknown. Not one word of it was contemporary.

Sure I did, that was your claim that in didn’t know something that I did. When someone makes a comment like Mathew, Mark, Luke and John were fictitious people I don’t bother with that anymore, it’s a waste of time. Do I need to defend myself? Not really, it’s only out of courtesy.

I find it interesting how dishonestly some theists try to pretend that asserting known facts is bias, whenever they those facts don't mesh with their unevidenced beliefs.
