Yes, I did: the gospels never indicate a name for their authorship, "Matthew" uses Mark as a source document, and the majority of modern gospel scholars agree that the gospels are written by anonymous authors. You've got no reason to think Matthew did write Matthew other than that it's convenient for you.
But I'm going to go ahead and believe the scholars who're actually educated in this over you, because you seem like a complete putz, the way you just repeat yourself over and over.
Quote:When I read the NT I trust with 100% certainty when Paul said he spent 15 days with Peter and they were both eyewitnesses.
They did not lie.
I don't fucking care about your level of certainty. Why should I?
Quote:So Jesus is God, a liar, or a lunatic. Since He is not a lunatic or a liar, He is God.
Nice false dichotomy you have there. Not to mention, you didn't even bother proving Jesus wasn't a liar or a lunatic. Or that he was even real.
