OH, I see. I didn’t realize you were speaking based on faith and not on archeological facts. My mistake.

The book of Matthew is an archeological fact. One more confirmed than any other ancient text extant. There are many refutations to the early date theory and Daniel as the original author is easily the majority view, even in acedemia. I don’t want to derail the thread but cutting and pasting from other web sites the wealth of evidence for the earlier date. If you want to go with the higher critical analysis, good for you. You certainly have that right.

Archaological facts? How do you expect to prove that something didn't exist until X year? You do realize that they could dig up something tommorrow that would change that.


So most of these "facts" are just the "earliest known instances."
