Evidence, Drich, is not personal feelings. The evidence tells me men that lived several generations later (120-140 years after the Gospels were penned) were the ones that gave names to the Gospels.
They're the ones doing the guesswork.
Quote:You are aware that just because a document existed in that time it was not distributed throughout the churches right?
for example a letter written by Mark would have most likly been distributed and circulated throughout the established churches Peter set up. The same would be true with John, he and his deciples would have a string of churches, Matthew his people had theirs and Luke/Paul work together. Just because a litteray work existed did not mean a later one was hand copied. the church you know or anything like it did not exist till 300 or so years later. Which was the reason for some many gospel accounts in the first place.
I don't understand what all of this is supposed to imply. It doesn't change the fact that these anonymous Gospels were finally given a name 120+ years later.
