For the book of Romans, Paul introduces himself as the author at the beginning of the letter. As for the book of Hebrews, it is not known for a fact that Paul was the author, because the name of the author is not given in the Biblical text. However, Paul is a distinct possibility.

Romans 1:1 actually tells us that Paul wrote this epistle: "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God ..." Of course, this is only a claim and, by looking at 1 Timothy 1:1, we can see that a similar claim is made in what is what scholars almost universally understand to be pseudepigraphical epistle. However, the style of Romans is consistent with the style of Paul's undisputed epistles and the narrative in Romans is consistent with expectations. Clement of Rome, writing a few decades later, but before the publication of Acts of the Apostles, believed that Paul visited Rome on his way to Spain, just as Paul planned in Romans. There is little debate that Romans was written by Paul.

In the case of Hebrews, there is no claim to authorship by Paul, the theology is markedly different to that of Paul and the style is entirely different. Among the very earliest Christian books, Hebrews was probably saved for posterity because the Church Fathers thought it was probably written by Paul, but modern scholars would not make that claim.

Is there any proof outside the Bible for the historicity of Mark?

There is no extra-biblical proof of the historicity of the disciple. Moreover, the Gospel known to us as the Gospel According to St Mark or St Mark's Gospel does not identify its author, and it was not until the second century that it was finally attributed by the Church Fathers to the Apostle Mark, thus giving this previously anonymous Gospel the name "Gospel According to St Mark". However, there is no real evidence to support that opinion, and considerable evidence to the contrary. The decision of the Church Fathers to attribute the Gospel to the apostle Mark was an admirable, but not necessarily correct one.

Why did some Romans dislike Jesus?

Jesus was making miricals happen. The Romans belived that someone who could make a blind man see could destory a mighty empire, like the Roman one. They were afraid of him. The Romans did not dislike Jesus, they didn't even know him. Jesus, during his lifetime, had very little contact with Romans and the contacts that he did have were all positive. Even Pilate "could find no fault in him". Proof that he was unknown to the Romans was in his betrayal. Someone (Judas) had to point him out to the arresting Romans.


What proof do Catholic and protestant have for believing in God?

The proof is in their faith.

You pray for the gift of faith to be given to you, and you live in the virtues of faith, hope, and charity (love): believing without seeing. God is asking you to live by faith, to demand proof smacks of the pride of Satan.
