Support for authenticity of book of Matthew comes from an unlikely place

By NEIL ALTMAN
Special to The Star

Buried in ancient texts of Jewish historical works are fragments of evidence that appear to show the first book of the New Testament actually was written by one of Jesus' apostles.

One of these texts also challenges a long-held assertion that no ancient text except the Bible mentions Jesus' birth.

(The rabbi Gamaliel, mentioned in the article, was, according to the Book of Acts, Paul's teacher in the law. Acts 5:34; 22:3.)

Although anyone who has ever gone through the process of being convicted of sin by the Holy Spirit, of repenting in their heart of their sin, and of being born-again by the Holy Spirit HAS NO TROUBLE believing in the authenticity of the Scriptures, nevertheless, in the hopes that God will use the mentioned article to produce saving faith in some seeking soul, we have put David's WRAP up on the Web.  (Whew! That's a mouthful.)

Question-Comment: Its is so nice to see a web site dedicated to the Word our Lord. And to be able to read the word as well. Its so easy to find the wrong things on the Internet. And so refreshing and up lifting to view your beautiful web site.

Hello Bill,

It's good hearing from you...thanks for the good word.  As you know, God has blessed and I'm convinced that He will continue doing so for that is His promise and that is His nature.
