the earliest gospel is considered to be matthew and it has been determined that it was not written before 60-80 years AFTER jesus supposedly died. why didnt anyone capture these moments, miracles, and super deeds as they happened? and why didnt anyone who wasnt a christian ever write anything about him?...in fact, why didnt jesus write anything himself? was he shy or illiterate? and why is there no record by anyone anywhere of all those saints who rose from the dead upon jesus crucifiction or the total eclipse of the sun that occured at the moment of death?...so many questions...lol

Well, if jesus did exist, I'm not sure he'd like all the myths made up about him.

Mark was the first gospel written. Matthew and Luke were based on Marks writings. Some scholars believe Mark was a child when he witnessed Jesus' arrest. (he was the little boy who ran away.) If so, Mark began writing the Gospel when he got older.
It is possible that people did write down Jesus' "super deeds" as he did them and that they just didn't make it into our Bible. Have you ever heard of the apocrypha?
Also you are wrong when you say that no non-christians wrote anything about Him. There are contemporaneous references to the existence of Jesus, in I think Roman writings. Plus you assume that everything that was written 2000 years ago has survived to the present day. There's a lot of records we havent found that may be lost forever.
Plus you assume that writing was as prevalent back then as it is today. Very few people could write, and the idea that anyone who wanted to write something could do so easily is just not so. People just didn't have paper and pen lying around the house. There were people who's job it was to write stuff down, but for the vast majority of humans on the planet, they did without reading or writing. They mostly relied on oral storytelling, or having someone else read stuff to them.

Hmmm... Moses, i think of. for sure, Jews (different than the Messianic Jews) do no longer particularly revere Jesus. Abraham and Moses the two occupy notably lofty positions interior the Jewish corridor of acceptance. that's with Abraham that God makes his covenant, and that's Moses who (with God's will) frees the Israelites from Egypt. Abraham is the unique, regardless of the incontrovertible fact that that's Moses who brings the regulation and writes the books (the Pentateuch, the 1st 5 books of the Torah and of the Bible) that particularly end the job God started out with Abraham, so i might could tentatively say Moses. As on your suggestion that the Holocaust became right into a results of the Jews being unChristian. Dude, it particularly is particularly offensive. first of all, lots of people do no longer settle for Jesus. 2nd, the Nazis (and many different persecutors of the Jews) killed harmless toddlers. there is not any justice in that, never divine justice, no longer from any God i might have something to do with. it particularly is like announcing 9/11 got here approximately with the aid of fact Christians rejected Mohammed. All 3 of those faiths are toddlers of Abraham, and it particularly is time they discovered to get alongside. you're all taking off to tick something human beings off.

Dear Dojoman,
You have some of your facts wrong. It would be a good thing for you to check what the book Evidence That Demands a Verdict by Josh McDowell says.
When my children were young I always wanted to make sure I got pictures and movies of everything that was going on. That is nice BUT I learned that I miss a whole lot of things going on that way. With my grandchildren I enjoy them at the moment and don't bother with the pictures.
I wonder if was because what was going on in Jesus time was so amazing that people didn't have the words to describe it. Words on paper will pass away. Jesus wants to write His Word on our hearts for eternity.
Change your focus and you will start understanding what is important!

Because they were in the presence of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Nothing was more important than to hear every word that He spoke because of the Power and Spirit that they contained.
2 Peter 1:11 - For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 2:20 - For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2 Peter 3:18 - But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Those who wrote the gospels were eye witnesses to the life and death of Christ. The important thing is they did write it down as inspired by the Holy Spirit. You know those Apostles would recall much better the events of Christ's life and death better then people could today. Their heads were not full of baloney like yours. They did not spend their life watching "Lost", or "Survivor", They spent their lives going around starting Churches and preaching the gospel.

Your question makes sense but try this scripture........John 21:25 NIV bible " Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written."

Don't mess with Jesus, he really has super natural power, otherwise ,what do you think they managed to sell millions copies of such a lame fiction? and don't go under estimating his knowledge on literature, just becuz he was busy kissing guys in gardens doesn't mean he couldn't.

He performed miracles in front of people and they did not believe Him.
Here are several links to show the great length at which Jesus(who was God in the flesh) took to show us he was and is who he said He was and is. To show us that His word, the bible, is authentic.
