no that is not true though many minimalists and secular scholars think that.
Yes it is, as you would admit if you weren't doing satan's work. Heretic!
read pages 33-35 of The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel.
Lee Strobel is working for satan and lies. Burn in righteous fire!
NOW compare to Alexander's biography written by Arrian and Plutarch, that come sin at more than 400 years after his death. quite a difference.
What has Alexander got anything to with this? Heathen!
but it doesn't matter when they were written, the disciples and believers were preaching Jesus' life, death and ressurrection right after the last of those three thus all the eye witnesses were still alive and knew what transpired.
These "disciples" were telling a parable, as god has revealed. Don;t lead people into the lake of fire!
if the disciples were lying, then christianity would not have made it to the 2nd century WHEN all the opposition to the Bible and christians started to take hold. {after all the eye witnesses were dead}
THey weren't lying, they were telling a story. Which you would admit if you were not hell bent on corrupting peoples souls.
you do not get it nor do i think you want to.
It is you who does not want to get it, you like sinning to much!
first off the romans would have and did report what happened and they were given their orders, even though those orders meant they would face death for falling asleep on guard., second, it isn't remote for all it would take would be one or two to write that it didn't happen and it would be published because other people would want to stop tthe lie (if it were a lie) but since it was the truth--no reports, no contradictions of the disciples and we have Jesuss, his life and death and ressurrection as true.
True believers, that want people to see the glory of god know that the stories are just stories. People like you however, who want people to suffer for an eternity, deny this obvious truth.
you all think you think logically but you don't.
We do, it is you who doesn't. You know you don't, which is even worse. But because you like to sin so much, and a re doing satan's work, you keep doing it anyway.
with all the eye witnesses still alive, there was no need for the disciples to write it down but as the church grew, the need for a written record grew.
True believers know there never were any eyewitneses, as the stories were made up.
it is not hard to see why the delay and it was not decades later, you would be lucky if it were 2
True believers know it was at least 4 decades later. But sinners like you like to obfuscate that fact, because you want to keep people from the truth.
