***I asked you to prove Scripturally that God dictated the Gospel of Matthew and the Epistles of Paul. You quoted only Paul and have not shown anything of Matthew. Therefore I will conclude that you admit that Matthew is not dictated by God.

Let us see what Scipture itself says about its origins. Luke 1:
1
1 Since many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the events that have been fulfilled among us,
2
just as those who were eyewitnesses from the beginning and ministers of the word have handed them down to us,
3
I too have decided, after investigating everything accurately anew, to write it down in an orderly sequence for you, most excellent Theophilus
So Luke is not authored by God? How about Acts 1:
1
1 In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught
2
until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
Do you then not admit Luke and Acts as Scripture because God specifically did not write them? What other NT books are or are not written by God in your scholarly estimation?
***But that just makes it another secular book on the Catholic book shelf.***
The Bible is the product of the Church; the Church is not the product of the Bible; the Church is the product of Christ. Hardly a secular book, unless your understanding of secular approaches your apparent understanding of Christ.
***And then you can consult with the pagans Plato and Plotunis and the others to help you understand what it says, thru pagan eyes***
Why would I? We come to bring Christianity to all the pagans, including many who call themselves Christians and demonstrably pagan. Interested?
