Chrisitans:was there any Gospel at the time of Jesus,or all came after he died?

Answer 1

The earliest gospel was written down 20 years after the death of Jesus.

Answer 2

Hello, Shockosh...:

Some replies have already mentioned that Jesus was the "Gospel", and that word means "good news." So I figure you question means the written Gospel.

When Jesus told His disciples to be witnesses, as they wrote accounts and letters of comfort and adnomition, these writings were cherished, copied, and widely circulated among the believers--Revelation was the last, written about AD 93. However there was no compilation as we know it and second century Christians began to argue what was inspired.

It would not be until Eusebius, about the year AD 325, studied the available sermons of those preachers (bishops) who had been first-hand witnesses. He listed the first cannon of The New Testament, or written Gospel, by putting the Disciples first, then the Epistles second, arranged in the frequency they were quoted by those early church fathers.

Many later manuscripts, known as the Apocrapha, were not included. They were forgeries or perversions, such as the Book of Judas, or Lost Book of Peter. They were never quoted by early pastors.

Eusebius translated 50 Bibles for Constantine, about 30 years later, Jerome translated the Latin bible. Eusebius listed Luke's account of church history first, and Hebrews, with many words, was listed towards the end of the New Testament.

It is interesting that Eusebius quotes a first-century bishop, think it was Origen, who said Hebrews was authored by Paul in the Hebrew language, and Doctor Luke translated it into Greek. I agree with that because Acts carries characteristics of Luke's thoroughness.

There is one part of the Bible, however, that you can not understand without a hidden "key." Break that last-day code at www.revelado.org/revealed.htm

Answer 3

I don't think Jesus existed in the way portrayed in the bible, and certainly the bible is not a history book or an autobiography of Jesus.
The early Rabbinic record of the Jewish faith , a document called "Dialogue with Trypho", written by St Justin Martyr circ 160 AD recorded what is basically an argument that Just Martyr had with a Jewish man called Trypho. In this document, Trypho mentioned a "groundless report" and also clearly and unequivocally stated the early church had "invented" Christ. In the famous Ante-Nicene Library can be seen this passage that reads " "But Krist, if he has indeed been born and exists anywhere is unknown...And you, having accepted a groundless report, invented a Kristo for yourself."
I am sure I could fill several pages with other references that question the historical accuracy of the life of Christ, but the point is, that belief in the concept, the teaching and practise of true Christianity is ultimately good, the fact that it is based on a lie is fundamentally irrelevant.

Answer 4

All the biblical scholars believe that none of the Gospels were written under the guidance of Jesus Christ. even the earliest of the Gospels were written years after Jesus's time. You will find similar information in famous encyclopedias.

Answer 5

The gospels are accounts of Jesus' life and teachings. Thus they were written by his disciples after his death.

However, nearly 95% (rough guesstimate) or more of his teachings all came from the Old Testament. It is quite interesting to try to match each Christian teaching to the Old Testament.

Of course, many teachings are new revelations, but not as many as most people think.

Answer 6

Yes there was. Jesus told the disciples to preach the gospel everywhere they went. The gospel was the Jesus has come and would soon die for the sins of the world, so that the world could get forgiveness for those sins.

Answer 7

Jesus was the gospel. He is the gospel. The word gospel means "good news" and this is what He talked about when He was here. He is still the good news!

Answer 8

What is commonly referred to as 'The Old Testament' is all the bible before Jesus was born. The 'Gospel' refers to the 'New Testament' accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus.

Answer 9

Old testament Gospel, Jesus gave us the New Testament Gospel.

Answer 10

the Old Testament was the only part of the Bible before Jesus. The New Testament didn't begin until about 55 A.D. (years since Jesus' birth), or atleast that's when the manuscripts were "mass-produced".
