What you posted is nice the insertion of scriptural referances was done by someone else and is not included in the text -- the history after the document also opinion of someone and has been inseted with the document.

What you need to know is that for the first tree centuries of church history there is one and only one historian that all scholars have to quote from -- there are other things concerning sources of early church history that I won't go through right here. I have have the source works -- all of the stuff that is laid out as fact in your doc as to the writing of the didache and its origin does not exist in the ancient christian writings.

There are no records of its origin there are no records of its dissemination or that any of the twelve apostles participated in writing it -- we can see an entire lengthy passage that is in the episel of barnabas but that does not mean that he wrote the didache -- it means it contains some of his writings.

Matthew had the Didache and copied from it as he did from Mark: that would explain the origin of the passages that are only in the Didache and Matthew. Luke compiled his Gospel from several sources, including Mark, but he did not have the Didache.

This statement is completely made up

Much of the material in the Didache is also in Acts and/or the Epistles of Paul. The style of these parts is typical of Paul. This is also opinion -- What verses in acts does he cite? Style of paul does not equal written by paul

Fourteen years after Paul's first visit to Jerusalem probably equates to AD 47. The Didache may be what Paul laid before the leaders in Jerusalem

You see the best the author can say is MAY BE not IS -- the documents's origin is unknown the author or authors are unknown -- what we are lloking at is modern christian divination as to a document written some 1800 years ago --

Cults are started by people authenticating things that are of unknown origin -- As beleviers we need to do better than that. As a preacher if we offer documents to teach the church dummied up or under false circumstances -- that is an offense that would get one wiped from the lambs book of life -- this isn't some game where one man's word is against another -- and I will add that there are coptic and eastern chruch copies of the didache that have been found in monistaries also.
