I'm sorry, but I was not made aware I am your professor.

No, you are a Christian who, I'm assuming, has his reasons for believing. In a different thread I stated the case that all theists are in fact evidentialists. You don't have pure faith but rather think you have solid reasoning for thinking Jesus is the answer.
With all of this in mind, I'm assuming that a big chuck of your credible evidence is the assertion that e.g. Matthew was written by a witness. Why would you think that?
