But Friendship, I don’t believe in Psuedo-Matthew so your argument unravels. I know it existed, but it has no credibility.

What it proves is the Quran is not divinely inspired and the writer of the Quran borrowed from this non credible document which displays mans influence on the Quran. Not Gods infallible influence on the Quran.

You asked who named it ? Why does it matter?

Friendship consider this scenario. If I wanted to start a cult and if I was to tell the people something they had never heard, wouldn’t they just turn their ears away from me and reject me?

We prove to you the deception of your false hood but you refuse to listen.

The process of canon (as you say picking and chose among books) lasted 400 years and the councils merely rubber stamped what most of the church already knew as the proper authoritative books. A bit like your hadiths. But with sources with more historically credible in sources than your hadiths.

Actually the The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew is not lost. Its available if you wanted to read it.

Most scholars date the The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew to the fourth or fifth century while the books of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John were all first century. So on that ground alone of course the  Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew wouldn’t make it into the bible.

The similarities between  The Quran 19.22-26 and The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew Chapter 20 are very obvious. It points to the writer of the Quran borrowing from it.

You say the that New testament books being lost is confirmed  by the Quaran. Can you show me the Quaran verses?  

And anyway which Quran?   Uthmans Quran or pre Uthman Qurans which were all burnt which you have no record of?

Check out the similarity between The Quran 19.22-26 and The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew Chapter 20 below -

Then she conceived him; and withdrew with him to a remote place. ‏And the throes of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died before this, and had been a thing quite forgotten! ‏So a voice came to her from beneath her: Grieve not, surely thy Lord has provided a stream beneath thee. ‏ And shake towards thee the trunk of the palm-tree, it will drop on thee fresh ripe dates. ‏So eat and drink and cool the eye. Then if thou seest any mortal, say: Surely I have vowed a fast to the Beneficent, so I will not speak to any man to-day.

Qur'an 19:22-26

And it came to pass on the third day of their journey, while they were walking, that the blessed Mary was fatigued by the excessive heat of the sun in the desert; and seeing a palm tree, she said to Joseph: Let me rest a little under the shade of this tree. Joseph therefore made haste, and led her to the palm, and made her come down from her beast. And as the blessed Mary was sitting there, she looked up to the foliage of the palm, and saw it full of fruit, and said to Joseph: I wish it were possible to get some of the fruit of this palm. And Joseph said to her: I wonder that thou sayest this, when thou seest how high the palm tree is; and that thou thinkest of eating of its fruit. I am thinking more of the want of water, because the skins are now empty, and we have none wherewith to refresh ourselves and our cattle. Then the child Jesus, with a joyful countenance, reposing in the bosom of His mother, said to the palm: O tree, bend thy branches, and refresh my mother with thy fruit. And immediately at these words the palm bent its top down to the very feet of the blessed Mary; and they gathered from it fruit, with which they were all refreshed. And after they had gathered all its fruit, it remained bent down, waiting the order to rise from Him who bad commanded it to stoop. Then Jesus said to it: Raise thyself, O palm tree, and be strong, and be the companion of my trees, which are in the paradise of my Father; and open from thy roots a vein of water which has been hid in the earth, and let the waters flow, so that we may be satisfied from thee. And it rose up immediately, and at its root there began to come forth a spring of water exceedingly clear and cool and sparkling. And when they saw the spring of water, they rejoiced with great joy, and were satisfied, themselves and all their cattle and their beasts. Wherefore they gave thanks to God.”
