Can't prove the supernatural God

[Mister Agenda]

John, Peter, James all wrote letters that agree with the claim that Jesus was God and came to redeem mankind through his death and resurrection.

Thanks for the information. Too bad they weren't as forthcoming on his life as his afterlife, that might have lent more weight to the historical Jesus.

The authorship of each of those is questioned by scholars; from seven possibilities for James (if it was James the Just, he at least had an editor or scribe who was very proficient in Greek if he dictated or wrote some original epistle that has been lost), the epistle of Peter being likely pseudonymous, to majority agreement that John the Apostle did not author the epistles of John.

This is all par for the course for writings in ancient and medieval times: People were comfortable ascribing their work to another, more famous, author; for instance, to get it more attention. I don't think the NT is unusual in this regard compared to other, similar literature of the time. Which is part of the problem, it SHOULD be unusually well documented if the Lord of the Universe was directing its composition, unless the LotU wanted the NT to be so questionable. If the latter is the case, who are we (and how are we) to uncover a LotU that doesn't want to be revealed?
