That simply isn't true. Silas traveled with Paul and recorded Paul's teaching of Christ. That didn't happen three hundred years after the death of Christ. It was only a few years later. Just because we dont have anything written about Christ until tree hundred years later now doesnt mean there was things written about him at the time. Just because history is written about three hundred years later doesnt mean it is not true. If that was the case we may as well throw out all new text books.

Paul knew of Christ. He was at the stoning of Stephen and held some of the clothing of those who stened Stephen. Christ took Paul's sight on the road to Damascus. Paul was Baptized and immediately went to Preach and Teach the messgae of Christ afterwards. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John were Jesus Apostles who wrote Books shortly after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. They travelled with HIM and were able to write first hand accounts of HIS travels. Paul wrote a number of letters to different churc hes of Christ that he set up in different cities. The 300 years later is certainly not true. The only Apostle that lived beyond 100 was the Apostle John who died of natural causes, we believe. Have a great day.

The Gospel was the atonement and resurrection It would be hard to have told it before it happened though Isaiah and many prophets did give prophesy of it...The Gospel was written between 20-70AD according to those who are educated in these matters.It would be obvious to know that the Gospel existed prior to 300 AD as we have scripture dating before this time..Some say 325 because the council of Nicene grouped together to determine which books were common to the churchs and should be cannonized.

The Greek manuscripts date as early as 55 A.D.
I found a website that describes the dates. Check it out.

Paul never met Jesus. Even the 4 gospels were written well after Jesus death...40 to 100 years after and these were not written by men who actually knew Jesus either

Read Lee Strobel (spelling???)'s book "The Case For Christ" It goes over this very question in one of the chapters and tells how the bible can be (and is) accurate

the gospels were written within 50 years of Jesus, and the epistles within 20 years!
