When were the Gospels Written? The External and Internal Evidence.

[LinuxGal]

Premise II: 2 Corinthians contains a reference to the Gospel of Luke as already having been written.

2 Cor 8:18 "And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;"

Now, anyone who knows even the slightest thing about Church History, whether he himself is Christian or Atheist, knows that only one companion of Paul, namely St. Luke, wrote a Gospel. This is also evident from the Book of Acts, written like Luke to Theophilus, and which contains the First Person Plural in various places, where the Author and Paul travelled together. It therefore is clear Paul is referring to Luke's Gospel in this place.

Only seven books in the NT were written by someone who really was who he claimed to be (Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon, Galatians, and 1 Thessalonians).
Revelation was written by "a" John but not the one who hung out with Jesus, or even the one, whatever his name was, who wrote the gospel of John. We know this because the Greek is shittier than the gospel and also because he didn't recognize Jesus when he showed up.

Rev. 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

Everything else in the Bible, from Genesis to Jude, is an outright forgery.  Go read you some Bart Ehrman. So no, Paul's buddy Luke didn't write "Luke".  The thing was slapped together with another scroll that became the book of Acts and the author plagiarized stuff Flavius Josephus wrote in 93 CE.
