    Lesley, the 'Gospels' to which you refer were written between 280 AD and 450 AD; writing style, use of language, dating, etc. are contemporaneous with these periods and entirely different from the style and language and dating used by and determined for the Gospel writers who were contemporaries of Jesus (the earliest evidence that a Gospel of St Thomas was in circulation within early church records dates from around 400-450 AD for example, supposedly discovered by a gnostic initiate in a jar in the desert in Egypt). These writings all originate from gnosticism and were the result of the sort of mystic revelations prevalent within the gnostic movement of the 3rd-5th centuries.

    Earliest manuscripts for the Biblical Gospel of Mark have been dated to the late 40's AD. Manuscripts of the Gospels of Luke and Matthew have been dated anywhere between 55 and 80AD, Earliest manuscripts of the Gospel of John date from 55-65 AD. The Acts, Epistles and Revelation all have demonstrable manuscript evidence from between 75 and 95 AD.
