Why are the Gospels written in third person?

[LT]

also, this thread is about the writing style of the Gospels, right?
why do I keep responding to off topics comments?!
Romans 7:15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

Hear, hear! That's what I think when I continuously end up biting troll's hooks, lines and sinkers.

Gen 2:15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

This verse does not say that Adam learned how to do it on the day He was created. It states intent of why Adam was placed in the Garden.

Thats the whole point!

YEC's state that he did all this on one 24hr day!

Gen 2:22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

Where are you fitting time into this?
Genesis 2:22 Lexicon: The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

there is no hebrew word in this passage denoting any span of time.
actually, 935 (and brought) denotes "urgency in coming, as if to aid the wounded" "violently charging, as to invade or overtake". That is the opposite of what you were saying!

If Eve was created by Adam's side, while he slept, fully formed, as an adult - then why the need to bring her back to him in the first place?

Answer...because she was AWAY being raised...

Who said he finished it? The bible doesn't say he completed everything.

And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their host. And on the seventh day God completed His work which He had made. And He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because He rested from all His work on it, which God had created to make. Gen 2. 1 - 3

Give him a break, while he was alone God saw he needed a helper, He made him go into a deep sleep while creating a helper using his own flesh, his own rib.

YEC's make Adam out to be superman.

Look you stress over this, why is it so big for the Lord to create man with the capacities of understanding common sense?

If Adam already had knowledge, then why did he need to eat of the Tree of knowledge?

Gnaw on that one for awhile...

Doubting is one thing, but you rejected Matt. being written by 45 ad, based on Jesus' prophecy actually being fulfilled?
That is not doubt. That is rejection.
How can 3 early church writers, in different parts of the known world, have referenced Matthew's Gospel by name and by word, multiple times before the fall of Jerusalem, if it was written afterwards?

Where is your source that proves the Gospel of Matthew was written by 45AD?
Oh and maybe you should let the historians know about that info. Every search
I do online pins Matthew being written much later.

As for the early church writers? Who are they? Please don't be vague, be very
specific.
