Elohim1:

The Gospel of Mark is 16 chapters long, shorter than the other three gospels. It is considered by most scholars to be the first of the four gospels written with a date between 50 and 70 CE.

Who Wrote The Q Source??

kilo4sure:

If it was written between 50 to 70CE, then that is 20 to 40years not 60years. Q source is probably the earliest compilation of the teachings of Jesus, they may just have been passed on by oral teaching before it was compiled. Q source is hence from the early disciple community and the author is unknown. Note also that this Q source is hypothetical.

Elohim1:

Good So Basically The Gospel Was Written By Unknown Roman Writers?? And It Is Said To Be An Account Of Jesus Life Did Jesus Have Any Roman Disciples That Spoke Greek??

kilo4sure:

Were you one of those Roman writers? Just wondering how you know they were written by Roman writers. Greek was a common language in the empire just like English today, since mark and Luke were educated, of course they would speak Greek, no big deal there. It is most likely there was an earlier Hebrew version of Matthew which the present Greek Matthew was compiled from and there are scholarly indications of that, though not yet agreed on. Having the gospels in Greek is no problem since most who accepted the gospels then were gentiles who spoke Greek not Aramaic. To conclude then that the gospels were written by Romans is a far stretch without any scholarly backing.

Elohim1:

I Guess U Haven't Done Ur Research Well Mark & Luke Is Not The Name Of The Authors Google Is Ur Friend If Mark & Luke In The Bible Was The Author It Will Be A First Person And Not A Third Person Comprehension!! The Name Mark & Luke Was Used To Honour The Person Or For The Gosples To Be Included In The New Testament Ever Heard Of Nicene??

kilo4sure:

I don't have to google anything, l already know where you are coming from, like l said before there is no conclusive evidence of mark being the author, but it is hard to find a scholar who would not agree that Luke is the author of Luke and acts, though there are a few that disagree. But this shouldn't matter anyway, Luke was not even a disciple, what is important is that we have the gospels from between 40 to 70 years after Christ, which is just a generation of the events, and this is good enough for historicity irrespective of the author.
The Nicean council was not concerned with naming authors of the bible, most of the authors were named in the second century. The Nicean council was in the 4th century to refute heresies and define the Catholic dogma.

Elohim1:

The Author Of Act Is Also The Author Of Luke But His Name Is Not Luke Nor Is His Name Act!! Probably His One Of Paul Disciples

Who Said The Nicene Was Concerned With Naming The Books In The NT?? They Were The One Who Brought The Recommendation In Which The Book Will Make It In. This Is To Seperate Heresy From Orthodox Teaching Cause They Were Many Books And Christians Then Believed Diff Things The Council Was Created To Address That Issue

kilo4sure:

Wasn't Luke a follower of Paul? Luke was already one of Paul's disciple. Nobody said Acts is the name of a person.
What you are saying about Nicea is correct but even before that, these were the most widely accepted and circulated books in the Christian community, this is why they were canonized, many of the other books were written by gnostics, there are however some books left out like the epistle of clement, didache, etc. In all, some of those books are still part of the massive catholic oral tradition. But go do some research you would find that none of those books left out can be dated earlier than our gospels. Even gospel of john the latest gospel, has a small portion of its manuscript dating back to AD 125.
