Why did the gospels take over a century to be written after the death of Jesus!?

The true gospel not the watered down version we have today was a threat to the religious leaders of the time. It took the that long to devise a plan to stop the spread of the original gospel.

first off the first paragraph is wrong

" History offers us little direct evidence about the events of this period,"


Josephus, who was a non christian wrote extensively about

Jesus Christ, and a couple of roman soldiers who were non believers wrote about him

Josephus briefly mentions him I believe.

If all that was really true, you would think they would have recorded it sooner!?

They weren’t ‘written’ until the Roman Empire under Constantine decided to make a new universal religion to unite his empire and become a rallying cry of inspiration for his conquering armies. ‘Under this sign we conquer.’
They chose some existing spiritual writings and adapted them into the 4 gospels. They created a figurehead Lamb of God named Iesu or Jesus who was a composite of several famous spiritual teachers who had earlier lived and in some cases been killed for their beliefs.

For the Epistles they had the writings of the sage and philosopher Apollonius of Tyana who was born approx 4 AD and lived to 100 AD and had traveled throughout the East including to India, and was made into a god after his death. They adapted his life and writing to become Paul of Tarsus preaching a new religion, used his early life travels in Judea to become part of the Jesus story. In his final years Apollonius wrote what came to be known as the Revelation.
Another part of the Jesus composite was an Essene named Joshu or Yeshu who lived in the time frame 100 BC and was stoned for blasphemy.

Then the Romans destroyed the original sources, burned the libraries, and book burnings continued for many years thereafter by the Church. But it has been claimed by some priests who have seen them, that the Vatican has kept copy of the originals in their Archives, and that those who have seen them no longer believe in the religion they are teaching.

Your in for a HOT surprise if you don't repent! Now answer my question above.

If all that was really true, you would think they would have recorded it sooner!?

You realize the book of revelation was the last one written by John on Patmos when he was in his 90s. However the rest were written much earlier. And Paul wrote what he did by revelation of the Holly Spirit - And God has a great memory (not good for you...).

What you need to ask yourself is how do you get 12 men to be tortured to death for a lie (if Yeshua did not rise from the dead bodily and it was a lie) with no chance of riches or earthly glory??? Not one account of any recanting as they were being skinned alive or crucified upside down... But those deaths were documented to show the world had power over them....

So you see the question you ask is not the right one.

If all that was really true, you would think they would have recorded it sooner!?

baloney!

baloney!

Unfortunately a lot of the original materials were burned by the newly formed state religion as blasphemy, by the 4th century.

Saying Baloney doesn't make it wrong. Real proof is required for your viewpoint.

Josephus was born in 37 AD. He was no more a historical witness to Jesus than I am to Gerald Ford. I was born in 76. I can write about things other people say he did. It's circumstantial.

There is no proof of Jesus, only proof of Christians in the 1st century. It's not the same thing.

There are no books written by anyone who saw him 1st hand. Not even the gospels are first hand accounts from the original people.

It's all fakery and mental illness.
