The Bible is a book full of contradictions, inconsistencies and anachronistic history. The crucifixion and resurrection story has many contradictions (different versions of events) between the gospels.
There were over forty gospels written and only four were voted into the Canon at the Council of Nicaea in 325AD.
The earliest found gospels are all found to be written in Greek and not in the native language(s), Aramaic/Hebrew, of Palestine/Judea/Israel
If the gospels were written by the purported eyewitnesses of the purported events in the gospel story, then what happened to the supposed originals written in the native language(s) of Palestine/Judea/Israel?
What I have learned in my research is...
Even though the Gospels go under the names of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, they were, in fact, written anonymously. These names first appeared in the second century and were assigned to the anonymous writings to give the writings apostolic authority. The Gospel of Mark was written before any of the other canonical gospels and was written after the fall of the second temple which occurred in 70 CE.
Correct. While you had to research all this, it was taught to me in elementary school.
