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.

How many time is the bible divided and how many people wrote it?
The Bible is divided into two main sections: the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament was written by various authors over a span of centuries, while the New Testament was written by apostles and early Christian leaders.
What year was each of the four Gospels written?
We can not say exactly which year each of the New Testament gospels was written, but we can come close. Scholars say that Mark's Gospel was written approxmately 70 CE. Matthew's Gospel is believed to have been written during the 80s CE, although Raymond E Brown (''An Introduction to the New Testament'') cautions to allow a few years either side of that decade. Luke's gospel was written in the 90s of the first century, or early in the second century. John's Gospel was written early in the second century.
Why does the Catholic Church not re-examine the books in the Bible considering many Gospels that were left out?
A:By and large, the teachings of the Catholic Church are based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and, to a lesser extent, John. It was therefore natural to select these as the gospels to be included in the Catholic-Orthodox canon. The other gospels differ in important ways from Catholic teaching and could never be considered for inclusion in the Catholic Bible. Also, although no gospel was really written by any of the early apostles, the other gospels were all written later than the gospels now in the New Testament, with the possible exception of the Gospel of Thomas. Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church considers the Revelation of God to be complete in the person of Our Blessed Lord, therefore It considers the end of Revelation to be at the death of the last Apostle. At that time, public Revelation, of which the Bible is a part, was complete and can never be added to, or changed. The Catholic Church does not have the authority from God to re-examine the books of the Bible.
What are any of the first four books of the New Testament called?
In the present format of the new testament there are four gospels> There are however many others which were excluded by the early church. The basis of why some are in and others out lacks documentation.
