The gospels were written 50+ years after Jesus had been gone. About 15+ years after Paul was full-fledged into his work of spreading his Gospel. And all the four gospels were written after all the Pauline Letters were in circulation.
If you check the prefaces to the Gospels in the New American version of the Bible, sponsored by the Bishops’ Committee of the
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, the gospel according to Mark was written in the year 70 after the destruction of the Temple, the
gospel of Luke in 75, Matthew in 85 and John between 95 and 100
CE. Mind you, this is a Catholic report.
**Yup…but Jesus is with His established church via the Holy Spirit. **
Now, by whom were the gospels written? The writers were all Gentiles disciples of Paul, for two reasons: The first is that none
of the writings of the Nazarenes, disciples of Jesus was approved into the Canon of the NT due to their controversial character vis-a-vis the writings of Paul which were the partern used for the Canonization done in 327 CE by the Fathers of the Church. There were several other gospels which were rejected, that got either destroyed or hidden in the undergrounds of the Vatican.
The other reason why the gospels come from a Gentile pen is based on the fact that the authors had too poor a knowledge of being Jewish, and were too anxious to remove the blame for the death of Jesus from the Romans unto the Jews. This is Pauline influence, who all his life always kept a grudge against the Pharisees in general for having never allowed him to build a church in Israeli soil, and to the Nazarenes in particular.
**How do you know he kept a grudge?
Why would Paul, Sha’ula who was a devout Jew…lifelong Torah observant Jew of the sect of the Pharisees, become a beacon of light for CHRISTIANITY???
Sha’ul belonged to one of the strictest sects of the Jews. “…I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee…” (Acts 23:6). He did not say; “I was a Pharisee, he said; “I am a Pharisee…yet he was still one of Christianities most prolific advocates for Christ…Why was that???
Sha’ul studied under the head of the Sanhedrin (the highest court in Judea). “…brought up in this city (Jerusalem) at the feet of Gamaliel…” (Acts 22:3). Sha’ul was himself most likely a member of the Sanhedrin, which fits perfectly the Jewish practice of stoning: “And cast him (Stephen) out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet whose name was Saul (Sha’ul).” (Acts 7:58). Since it was the responsibility of the members of the Sanhedrin to witness public stonings, Sha’ul was present (in an official capacity) at the stoning, while those who were witnesses against Stephen were required to cast the stones.
Why would such a convicted and headstrong hater of this new Jesus sect, which he believed was terribly blasphemous, and offensive to his God of the O.T., have such a huge change of heart, which, ultimately, imprisoned him, literally and metaphorically, for the rest of his natural life???
