Who Wrote The New Testament ? / "It Doesn't Matter Who Wrote The Bible" / What Happened To The Gospels That Weren't Included In The Bible? (2) (3) (4)
| Who Wrote The Gospels And When Were They Written? by therationa(m): 12:57pm On Feb 16, 2008 |
All standard bibles contain the NT gospels in the order Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, with these names being ascribed to Jesus's own companions (disciples). But were the real companions of Jesus the real authors of the gospels? And when were they written? And have they essentially maintained their form and message, unadulterated through the centuries, through the various translations and redactions? Is there evidence within the texts (the so-called internal evidence) themselves that could lead us to these answers. Are there any independent non-christian documents that corroborate the events in the gospels? ===================================================================================================== Some of my other threads The Dangers Of Religious Fundamentalism To Intellectualism https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=110955.msg1929006#msg1929006 God Selects The Rulers Of Countries; G W Bush, Sadam, Pol Pot, Abacha, Hitler https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-113186.0.html#msg1961537 Cannibalism In The Bible: Det 28:53-57, Lev 26:29, Jer 19:9, Ezek 5:10, Lam 4:10 https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-113181.0.html#msg1961343 What Are The Core Tenets (doctrines, Value And Virtues) Of Christainity? https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-112990.0.html What Fate For Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Constantine And Tomás De Torquemada? https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-112997.0.html#msg1958617 Is The Doctrine Of Trinity Biblical?

therationa: @theration, Again, possibly the best way to help your threads so they don't die prematurely is to ask you to lead.  It's a very simple measure to adopt - you lead on with your premise, we hold the torch to clear the mist so you don't strike your foot. When you proffer your own arguments for your misgivings, then stay on focus as replies are offered to point you where you might have been swerving off course.Your friend, stimulus (tickling your bare feet with a feather and listening to your giggles)! |

Thanks for leading. BTW, you are NOT obligated to respond, you know  . Just leave them alone for other people to learn from |

@therationa, therationa: No, thanks for leading - as the OP.  I was only asking you to resume your lead, so we can hold the torch for you.therationa: I know, and understand why you'd wish it so. It hasn't been my in my least interest to waste time with your unttenable ideas, which have met with sound answers. therationa: Lol. . . that's another of saying "I don't want to see you address these matters!" Okay, you don't need to beg - at least, readers can now see how 'philosophical' you've been. Next! |
