Deep, you say, "All of the Gospels were written long after Jesus' life."
Jesus Christ died, rose, and ascended into heaven about 33 AD. The Gospels were all written within the next 30 to 40 years. Not even a generation. We still study books written about Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War -- almost 150 years later. Are these books not to be believed?
the earliest gospel was written about SEVENTY years after the supposed events took place. that is at least two generations since the average life span was about 35 back then.
Hi Uno,
Once again, you have excelled! This time you quote from Wikipedia, a site where anyone can write whatever he/she wants -- and it gets posted. Gee, even Richard Dawkins could write that God does not exist on Wikipedia -- and there are actually folks who will believe this -- because it is written on this "come-one-come-all" site.
Let me see. I guess we can rate that site along with YouTube as the intelligence source for all the over-the-hill Mouseketeers.
Let me give you several good sources where you can find serious Biblical research and resource information:
1.
When Were The Gospels Written And By Whom?http://carm.org/apologetics/ev...els-written-and-whom 2.
When Were The Gospels Written? http://www.gotquestions.org/when-Gospels-written.html On this last web page, you will find links to many more interesting questions such as:
How Do We Know When The Books Of The Bible Were Written? and
Why Did God Give Us Four Gospels? So, Uno, yes, the Gospels and most of the New Testament books were written within a generation of the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ in 33 AD.
Suggestion: If you want information regarding the growing of apples -- visit an apple grower. If you want information regarding slop, visit a pig grower -- or Wikipedia.
But, if you want information on God's Written Word, the Bible -- take the time to find and listen to a person or people who truly believe, love, and care for the true Written Word of God -- Christian believers and apologists.
I do hope you have not seen six strong men lingering around lately. But, just to be safe -- don't you think it is about time you quit denying God and turned to follow Him? If you will, you will be eternally grateful. If not, you will have an eternity to regret your erroneous decision.
One last suggestion: Bet on the winning Team! God has never lost and never will! He makes your Super Bowl Sunday looks likes a kid's checker game.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
