I bet you have a link to an atheistsRus website to prove it.......
just google MATTHEW ---(in the bible)
to find your atheistsRus website?.....
no----to discover that which bible scholars say about
"MATTHEW"-----which I summarized above
I typed in "author of the book of Matthew".....only did the first couple of pages......found no one claiming that it was written 300 years after Christ......found that the majority view dates it to the last quarter of the first century (75-99 AD) with a minority view placing it as early as 60AD....everyone pretty much agrees the author was Matthew, a tax collector also known as Levi, who was an apostle......
OH-----I will google again--- your sources say ~ 75 AD a tax collector? named "levi" ------ My sources said
that the actual person MATTHEW could not be ascertained and that the writings themselves seemed to
be from several different authors.--------did your source happen to mention the LANGUAGE in which the book
was written?
