There is always way of interjecting doubt. It is like the child's rejoinder of "why". It goes on forever. I could take the stance that Hemingway did not write "A Farewell to Arms." No documentary evidence would be acceptable. That is just people writing whatever on paper. The only way that I will believe that Hemingway wrote the novel is if I watch him write each word. And also that I know he did not get coached in the ideas and language by somebody else when I am not around to monitor his every move. Or that he did not memorize something from some other source. Therefore, you cannot prove to me that Hemingway wrote the novel because now he is dead and my opportunity to bear direct and detailed witness is gone. My guess is that it was written by an unknown Spanish writer because of certain translated Hispanic locutions in the text. Plus Hemingway was always too drunk to really write anything coherent. Textually and circumstantially Hemingway could not have been the author. You get the idea.<br /><br />What we have concerning Matthew is Patristic witness and little else. But when combined with the Gospels theological coherence with the rest of the NT, that does it for me. <br /><br />-- NeoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487906691943831671noreply@blogger.com
