They literally didn't write them

Great evidence to support what we've believed for thousands of years. However, even if we didn't know the authors, that still has nothing to do with the message conveyed within. It still comes down to living by the words of Christ, or going your own way.

This guy is a lying , dishonest apologist The authors are unknown
@Chomolungma1244 Says:
No one who knows who wrote the four gospels that’s almost across-the-board agreement with all Bible scholars there’s not one original copy of any gospel

Other biblical scholars disagree with this video.

I am a Christian believer but i think Christian apologist do more damage than they realize. Christianity stands and falls strictly by faith. A rationalist Christianity destroys its out foundation of faith. An apologist is at heart a disbeliever seeking aproval. Basically an apologist trying to live his faith through the justification/rationalization provided by the world of unbelievers. It's a conviction that is seeking permission. In my humble view these are some of the reasons why we don't walk in the power of the early church....they were no apologists. If anything they were unapologetic. Apologetics is the door by which satan lead the church back into the world. Paul seeing this in advance said we used to know Jesus as a man and there are eyewitnesses account of his earthly presence but he stated if we once knew him so we hence forth know him no more. That was Paul seeing the dangers of apologetics: that is a material reason for having faith. Paul wanted a purely immaterial foundation for faith established upon a nonworldly understanding of Christ- an epiphany so to speak. A shining of the light of God above the noonday sun. The revelation of Christ must drown out every other worldly lights of reason by which men walk.

thanks
@youareacoward8459 Says:
Oooh! PLEASE, the Apostles could probably not even write.
@cariboubearmalachy1174 Says:
This very bad evidence. All of the reasons given here have been refuted. They wouldn't call any of these gospels the "Gospel of Peter" or the "Gospel of James", since there were already two apocryphal gospels in circulation referred to as the Gospel of Peter and the Gospel of James, which ended up being rejected as unauthoritative. Papias is not a good authority. Most of his claims have been rejected by scholars and by his contemporaries as lacking credibility. He names Mark and Matthew as two of the gospel authors, but his description of these gospels does not correspond with the gospels we know today. He claims Matthew was written in Hebrew, when it was actually written in Greek, and he claims Mark was written out of order. The reason no competing claims to authorship were made was because the gospels were understood to be anonymous for a hundred years after Jesus' death. To this day, no one has proposed a name for the author of Beowulf, and the same was true for the gospels for several generations, until church authorities began developing a New Testament canon, and felt the need to attribute authorship, to make the gospels align with the literary practices of other works, like the Letters of Paul.
@Adam-mj5hl Says:
Frank fails to address one of the main reasons why most modern Biblical scholars reject the attribution of the gospels to Matthew, Mark, and Luke - the synoptic problem. Given the similarities they share in the some of the stories they tell, the sequences they are told in, and the words used (verbatim, word-for-word agreements in some places), absent a miracle, there is very little chance that such similarities could exist within three separate eyewitness accounts. As a result, scholars agree that Matthew and Luke copied Mark, as well as a copied a second unified source called “Q”.
@Ezekiel365Days Says:
The gospel of Matthew not written by Matthew, the gospel of mark is written by a mark but he was a disciple of Jesus same with Luke, and the gospel of John is not written by John the disciple or anyone who witnesses the life, journey, dead, resurrection and ascension of a man many ignorantly call Jesus The Christ
@rub3n410 Says:
Still anonymous
@mastermiller2944 Says:
This is like saying we don't know if Plato wrote, "The Republic". There is no certainty of any historical document if we can't rely on authoritative tradition. So much of our history would be discredited if we held it to the same standard that the bible is held by these so called critics.
@torreyintahoe Says:
There is no debate among historians that the authors of the gospels are anonymous.
@Gurey12 Says:
According to the john, to the Mathew,to luka. Where’s according to the jesus, written by human clearly
@ibrahimabdullah8297 Says:
Source: trust me bro🤣🤣
@wesleymorris1 Says:
I thought the original translation where from greek translations.
@danlopez.3592 Says:
Simple answer. We don’t.
@Samreyna1 Says:
So we know they wrote them because someone said so? Even if we give you that the names connected to the books are the correct name how do you know who the actual Luke was? How do we know this person is reliable?
@ghostpacas7600 Says:
In 170ad 😂 they confirmed it 170 years after he died ?? Yes ok

Your worldview is so bankrupt you fool.

The Scriptures do not contradict but convict ones soul. All things will pass but The Word of Yahuah God Almighty will last FOREVER !!! 🙏
@fredsalfa Says:
The “Anonymous” authors was only a modern theory and speculation never proven with historical facts.
@davidmathews9633 Says:
NO ONE KNOWS!!
@Chomolungma1244 Says:
Nobody knows who wrote the gospels that is a fact that 95% of all biblical scholars agree on Lol
@danlopez.3592 Says:
This could’ve been summed up as we don’t know.
@emmettruskowsky5626 Says:
I mean peter didn't write mark but mark pretty clearly wrote it from the perspective of peter
@adamary8599 Says:
Imagine writing a book with a group of people which took so much time, hard work and costs your life, then people care who wrote what instead of reading the message lol I would cry.
@zachmiller3835 Says:
I am not the sharpest tool in the shead but it looks to me like his references are just as close to constantine's reign as they are to the time Matthew john luke etc where supposedly witnessing this. So you can make the argument that his references are close enough to Christianization of rome to be considered good sources. In other words, of course the romans would stand behind these sources because they are going to help them have historical evidence that the gospels were indeed written by luke mark etc. They need said historical sources to further the christanization of the roman empire. So in that regard the sources are not as concrete as he is claiming them to be because it is to close to constantine's reign to not have political and unification motivates behind them. We need multiple sources from people who had no skin in the game so to speak.
@C3lticlord Says:
why do so many people say the writers are anonymous then?
@jaberqandah9686 Says:
It's actually proven that the gospels were written anonymously and the names luke John Matthew were added later
@makepeaceu Says:
Just because you believe something doesn’t justify it as truth. Best evidence is not fact but hearsay. That’s why the church says just believe because they can’t prove. No first hand knowledge. We don’t know who wrote the Bible.
@drako1978d1 Says:
Why it was written in greek if jesus people spoke aramaic??
@ZeddEmm Says:
Absence of evidence against is not evidence.
@rustyreview Says:
to say that its mythology to say they're anonymous shows how biased he is. we dont know who wrote gospels. period.
@thirdscrollband Says:
So, all of the authors were able to read and write Koine Greek? See, that's where I would start the debate. Remember, most of the apostles were fishermen, right? So, would they possess the skills, or even need to possess the skills of knowing and understanding Koine Greek? I'd be interested to hear other people's perspectives. Thanks.
@maylingng4107 Says:
The 4 gospels were written by anonymous Greeks in Greek. The Greek bishop, Irenaeus invented the authors and inserted them into the gospels in 170 CE. About a dozen other gospels were excluded by the early Christian clergy, because they contradicted the 4 that was included
@diggy1108 Says:
Great video
@Mozee854 Says:
That "evidence" of authorship is so weak.
@paulhewitt3069 Says:
Acts 4 v 13 says Peter and John were “unschooled”…
@no-body-22 Says:
How do we know Caesar wrote his books? Tradition and external references. Most ancient works are anonymous by this ridiculous standard.
@chrisyoung59721 Says:
Turek completely ignores the vast majority of biblical scholars, both Christian and non Christian, that say otherwise. He has absolutely no formal training to make such a declaration.
@onbored9627 Says:
none of the earliest manuscripts claim authorship.
@onbored9627 Says:
well, there already was a gospel of peter so they had to use a different name?
@Random-ut7jw Says:
Authors of gospels were anonymous.
@orvobx7909 Says:
Why are the historian sources trusted if they werent first hand accounts of the deciples?
