They were in St. Peter’s tomb. How do you know the Gospel of St. Matthew was written by St. Matthew when the text doesn’t say so?
“How do you know that that was his tomb???”
That was the inscription, the history, the tradition for the entire history of the Church. Again, how do you know the Gospel of St. Matthew was written by St. Matthew when the text doesn’t say so?
“Was his name carved on the tomb anywhere or stamped on the bones???? Hmmmm???”
Yes, his name was carved into the wall. Again, how do you know the Gospel of St. Matthew was written by St. Matthew when the text doesn’t say so?
It’s irrelevant who determined that Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew once it is determined.
At that point, he is an apostle, and his words are more relevant than anyone else’s words. We are subject to the apostles, not to Cardinal Joe Blow some 2000 years later.
And we have Matthew’s words.
Yes, his name was carved into the wall.
So the wall belonged to St Peter??? Is that what you are saying??? You saw Peter's wall not his bones or his tomb.
Again, how do you know the Gospel of St. Matthew was written by St. Matthew when the text doesn’t say so?
Now that is plain stupid because Matthew's name is right there in the title of the Gospel. His name is on it. But that tomb under the Vatican doesn't have Peter's name on it nor do those bones that you say you saw.
