lets go by the gospel of John

I think you should research that information. Many Biblical and Christian scholars certainly disagree with you. Evidences seem to have a timeline similar to this: Mark was written after 70CE but before105CE.
Matthew was written after 90CE. Luke was written after 95CE.

do you have the links please?

Peace:

You can try this link: Early Christian Writings

I always try to use non christian/muslim sites for information and research. This site offers many links to additional sites that you can read as well.

Really, people are going to believe whatever they want to believe. Christian sites will try to prove one thing, non-christian will try to prove another. Personally, I've researched this a lot, and based on the factual information I've read, the later dating is more logical. The reality is, whether they were written 70 years after Jesus, pbuh, or 150 years....the fact is NOTHING was recorded in His lifetime and if it were....it's long since disappeared or was destroyed.

I could provide you with a thousand links and you could provide me with 1000 with differing opinions, so, ultimately it's up to the individual to decide which is more logical, which provides the best indepth research on the subject. Quite frankly, regardless of when they were written, Christians will continue to accept the Bible as the word of God because even with all the admitted errors, (Scribal or intentional), they are dismissed and accepted. Authors are unknown, verses missing or removed over the years, etc., etc. So, it's highly unlikely that later dating of the gospels will convince anyone the Bible is not the true word of God.

That being said, if nothing else, happy reading.

thanks for the link...I look forward to studying their research.
I agree like you say...It doesn't really matter when they where written and we only have that persons words for what really did happen....that applies to everything in life.. if we weren't there ourselves to wittness the truth.

God Bless

I agree to a degree, but because none of us were present to witness the actuall events, we must then use logic and an open mind to see the truth. We have to be willing to put all we believed and were taught aside and read like we're reading for the first time. It's difficult to do at first, but it gets easier. It took me 3 years before making my decision to embrace Islam. Believe me, it wasn't as easy as just saying the Shahadah. But, I know in my heart I have found the truth, Alhamdulillah.

No I don't think so


Because the gospels where written for different audiences at the time. They included different accounts for different reasons.

Matthew was written by a Jew and for the Jewish audience.
Mark was written a young man who was present during some of the events of Jesus' life and it was written for the Roman audience.
Luke was written by a gentil doctor to the Greeks
John was written by one of the first and earliest followers of Jesus, he used to be a follower of John the Baptist along with his brother James this gospel was written for the "Born-Again" Christian

They where all written before 70 AD before the destruction of the Jewish Temple..which Jesus' had prophesed about.
