why did it take 5 decades for the gospels to start talking about jesus' death?

Question

and also how come they only talk about the last three stories of jesus getting crusified?

Answer 1

It didn't take 5 decades. Jesus died in 33 A.D. The Gospels were all written before 64 A.D., and as early as 52-53 A.D. They were written within a time when there were still many eye witnesses who could have refuted the Gospels if they contained lies.

The last part of your question I don't understand, the "last three stories".

Trader S, if you want historical evidence that Jesus lived and how he died, read the books of Josephus, a Jewish historian of the first century. He wrote about the life and Crucifixion of Christ.

Answer 2

actually, the ENTIRE new testament was completed in approximately 100 A.D. which was 100 years after Jesus's death. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John probably began working on the gospels shortly after Jesus's death, but be resonable- that was a lot of information to write down and took some time! But by the time they were written along with all the other books of the New test. and compiled it was 5 decades later.

Answer 3

People spoke about Jesus' death as soon as it happened and still talk about Him today.The books began as an oral tradition because many Christians expected Christ would return soon(Second Coming) and thought they had no need to write anything down because they wanted to spread the gospel("good news").As the first generation of the apostles and disciples and their followers became aware of their mortality they began to commit the words of Jesus which were hand copied and spread from one community of believers to another.The first letter to the Thessalonians was written around the year 50,only about 20 years after Jesus' death.The last book written was Revelation near the end of the reign of Domition(A.D.81-96).What do you mean by "last three stories of Jesus getting crucified"?

Answer 4

I will give you an advice.
God is not the author of confusion, like you see in the teachings of the Christians, they give so much importance to the story of the cross, who was witness of it, what really happen, before, during and after this event, and they forget about God completely.
All the teaching is about the lamb, the blood, the sin,.... so where is the message for humanity, for mankind?
is the message worship God alone? or is it just take it easy, Jesus died for your sins, just have fun !!!.
also too many mysteries, confusions,.....
would you spend all your life looking for the truth, mysteries...?
do you imagine yourself in the day of judgment with unresolved mysteries ? it would be too late at that time if you didn't know the truth now.

I will explain this to you in a short story:

Answer 5

The written words(the books of the new testament) of the Apostles may have taken a few decades, but they orally spoke of Jesus, from the time of His Crucifixion(and before Jesus sent them out to preach). This is considered the oral traditions of the Apostles.

Answer 6

Christ continues to be performing miracles immediately and if by twist of fate you probably did have faith and won the Holy Spirit you will possibly understand the genuine be attentive to God no longer basically places which you p.c.. and choose a verse that's taken out of context or your concept s on my own are portrayed

Answer 7

Execuse me all....
but the only reasonable cause for this is something u wont like...

they did this after the jeasus died because they want to add some LIES in it,,,,
i mean if they wrote it before he died he would say : "i didnt say this" ... or "i said this"...

Please dont missunderstand me,,, I am not saying that it is all Lies... defenetly not... i am sure most of it is right and from GOD but many of it is from thier minds...

wish that we all find the truth,,,,

Answer 8

I have to agree with TeBone on this.....

There was the spoken word, and then there was the written word. Both of which were most powerful......

And also keep in mind too, that there are books that have not been given us as yet because there is no language today that exists to authenticate it......

Answer 9

Take it for what it's worth but time has very little to do with what would be considered inadmissable to a court of law and the justice system makes mistakes in spite of caution.
give this skeptic a grain of salt and a little more common sense
to repy to.

Answer 10

There is no historical evidence that Jesus died - or was born for that matter. The gospels and the words of "Jesus" are a road map for attaining the "Christ Consciousness" which is the "me" through which one enters th Kingdom of God. Religion is the "devil's advocate" whose job is to keep this truth from you.
