The four gospels are not signed by their attributed authors either.

Who Wrote Book of Hebrews
- Thread starter 37818
- Start date
I know. There are books of the Bible we really do not know who wrote.
We do not know who wrote Mark (it is generally accepted by theologians that it was probably not written by John Mark, but tradition holds otherwise).
Matthew was written anonymously but attributed to Matthew in the 2nd Century.
With Luke, again we don't know for certain. But unlike Hebrews the Gospel of Luke was considered to have been written by Luke in the Early Church. No other writers are offered.
Like the three Synoptic Gospels, the Gospel of John was also written anonymously. All we know of the writer is that he was well educated.
True, but there are indications.
Spurgeon thinks Paul wrote Hebrews. That seals it for some people. I studied it in Seminary for a semester and my answer was maybe Barnabas, maybe Paul, but in the end we do not know.
Not necessarily. It is unique to Paul ONLY if nobody learned from Paul. And like you point out, John also used the wording (as did the Psalmist....so it would be familiar to those who read the Psalms).
Apollos, for example, is a good contender for writing Hebrews because from biblical accounts it would be the type of language expected of him. And being a contemporary of Paul he would have certainly been familiar with Paul's words as Paul was of his (Paul commented on his eloquence of speech).
In fact, Paul noted that he planted the seed and Apollos watered it. Hebrews was obviously written after the seed had been planted (the warning about turning back).

Dear readers,
I was reading an article before, that talked about this issue, in one of his epistles, he told us how he penned each one and all his epistles ends with Grace be with you all. Amen.
Anyways, there is a lot of critics, some even claim the first five books were not written by Moses, we can go on...

Its said Irreanus said Matthew/Mark/Luke/John.
2 main contenders would be Apollos and Barnabus

Paul wrote Hebrews, I am not changing my mind.
God had not told us who wrote the book of Hebrews. How can we claim to know what God has not revealed? That's impossible and in my own personal opinion, arrogant.
It's irrelevant. People are dying and going to hell. Giving credit to someone erroneously serves no purpose to God, to the lost, to the Bible student, nor will it affect eternity.

Yes, its a minor issue, but we can ageee Moses wrote the first five books.
The Gospels got its name since people back in those names talk about them.

Yes. He was the first. He also lived long after the Apostles had died. I take that Matthew, Mark, and John were written by those people. But this doesn't change the fact that they were written anonymously

What is the evidence/authority for claiming that Matthew wrote Matthew?
The title "Gospel According to Matthew" is not part of the body of the text of the Gospel of Matthew itself. This text refers to Matthew by name only in 9:9 and 10:3. It has been widely h...

Don't all of the manuscripts have "according to Matthew " or "according to Mark" and so forth? I doubt there is one manuscript that does not have "according to....".
Yes. And they put all the important words in italics .
Sometimes I think that the authors may have written anonymously intentionally. Luke, however, was written assuming the recipient knew his identity. So maybe not.

What about Moses writting first five books, where get Samuel and other names? Also, was Ephesians written in Ephesus?
Moses wrote the first five books. Paul wrote to the church of Ephesus while he was in prison.

Some say its not Ephesus. How do we know its Moses?
Not Ephesus???
~~~Ephesians 1:1 = "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,To God’s holy people in Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus:"
How do we know it's Moses?
~~~Mark 12:26 says that Moses wrote Exodus. In fact, Exodus 34 says that God told Moses to write it. Deuteronomy 31 says that Moses wrote Deuteronomy. Jesus says in his parable in Luke 16 that the Old Testament is "Moses and the Prophets". Paul says in Romans 10 that Moses wrote the Law. Numbers 33 tells of God commanding Moses to write things down.

Good evening,
There is a footnote in this "Good News Version" and many other versions on Biblegateway say "Ephesus" may have been added by corrupters.
Yes, I believe Moses wrote those books, I recently got this book, and it talked about Moses couldn't have wrote those books. Also, they mention how in Hebrew, its the telegram of JAH but then it says he wasn't known by this name, and then he revealed it to Moses.
Also, do you all believe in the Psalm supcriptions?
