No. Mark, the earliest New Testament gospel, was written approximately 70 CE, after the time of Paul. So Paul's seven genuine epistles were written before the first gospel to be written. New Testament scholars have noted that the author of Mark seems to have known Paul's epistles and might have used some material from them.

How the the term old testament originate?
The word testament means, at root, a document containing testimony. The Gospels and letters are the testimony of the people who founded the Christian Church. Given this, from a Christian perspective, the older Hebrew Bible is older testimony about the acts of God prior to the time of Jesus. The naming is quite rational from a Christian perspective.
If the Gospels were written in early times why was not a New Testament used as the early Bible?
The Gospel contains the Old Testament, composed of scriptures found prior to Jesus birth or orally transmitted from lost ancient scriptures after Jesus birth, and the New Testament related to Jesus life and teaching. Any early Bible is made of Old and New Testaments as a whole.
When were Christian scriptures first written?
In this context, Christian scriptures means the New Testament books, rather than the books of the Old Testament. Most biblical scholars accept that the Gospel According to St Mark was the first written of the four canonical Gospels, and that it was written around 70 CE. Some other Christian scriptures were probably written prior to the gospels, most notably Paul's epistles. Paul is believed to have written the epistles in the 50s CE, but they may have been somewhat earlier. The Epistle to the Hebrews was probably also written well before 70 CE. The earliest layers of some other New Testament books may have been written long before the time of Paul's epistles.
Why were the Dogood Letters made?
The Silence Dogood letters were written by a young Benjamin Franklin. The letters were written under the name Ms. Silence Dogood because prior to this time, 16 year old Benjamin Franklin was unable to get his work published.
When was the New Testament written?
Different books of the New Testament were, of course, written at different times. Some believe that the entire New Testament was written shortly after the death of Jesus, by the apostle Paul and by eyewitnesses to the events that the New Testament describes, while others see a wider range of dates in the evidence.Scholars now realise that the gospels were originally written anonymously and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Those attributions were not based on factual evidence and there is no reason to believe that the disciples Mattew, Mark, Luke and John had any role in writing the gospels. This then means that it is no longer necessary for the gospels to have been written during the lifetimes of persons living at the time of Jesus. The scholarly view is that Mark was written approximately 70 CE, Matthew in the 80s, Luke in the 90s of the first century or early in the second century, John early in the second century.The earliest complete book of the New Testament is thought to be the Epistle to the Hebrews, but it is uncertain when it was written - perhaps in the 40s of the first century. The latest books were probably the pseudepigraphical epistles such as 2 Peter or 3 John, believed to have been written before the middle of the second century.
Is Jesus part of the Old or New Testament?
Jesus is referenced in the Old Testament in prophetic terms, or in other words, the Old Testament predicts his coming to earth. In addition, it has been suggested that Jesus is part of the "we" or "us" that God refers to himself as throughout the Old Testament, as if Jesus existed with God prior to his physical form. However, the Old Testament does not explicitly address this - it is merely implied. The New Testament records the actual birth of Christ, his life, and his death. Specifically, the gospels (the first four books of the New Testament) - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - speak mainly on the life and teachings of Christ, while other books are based on his teachings, or comprised completely of his teachings.

Did Matthew write one of the gospels?
A:No, the apostle Matthew did not write any of the New Testament gospels. The four gospels were originally anonymous and were only attributed to the apostles whose names they now bear, later in the second century. Thus we only have the opinions of the Church Fathers as to who any of the authors were. Seeing a literary dependency among the synoptic gospels, they believed that Matthew, the disciple of Jesus, wrote the first gospel and that the gospels they attributed to Mark and Luke were based on copying and improving Matthew's Gospel. In fact, scholars now say that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events they portray.Scholars can demonstrate that Mark's Gospel was actually the earliest gospel and that Matthew's Gospel was largely based on it, with some 90 per cent of the verses in Mark, as well as containing further sayings material from the hypothetical 'Q' document. Clearly, a disciple of Jesus would not have needed to base almost his entire gospel on these prior sources. Matthew did not write the Gospel of Matthew.

Is The Gospel of John similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls?
No. John's Gospel takes its inspiration from the Gospels of Mark and Luke, not from a mystical Jewish sect.The Gospel of John was written well into the second century, whereas the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE (with the exception of a few late Dead Sea Scrolls, dating from the Bar Kokhba revolt of 135 CE). All the Dead Sea Scroll fragments large enough to interpret unambiguously either were copies of Old Testament scrolls or were secular documents.
