To a new member of the forum, the thread appears as current if you aren't careful to check to OP date.
In my "home" forum, this post would never have appeared to a new user at all.
My apologies.

Then you are misinformed about the historical reliability of the New Testament. For example, when do you think that the gospels were written? Late first century? Early Second? Or were the gospels written much earlier than skeptics like to admit?
The issue is not even when they were written but when were they last edited. But to answer your question. They seem to start popping up in the mid 2d century when jesusism actually got going. Before that no one seemed to have heard of the fucker.
As far as testimony goes....
This is not news.

Luckily, you have no such problem. Xtians have no direct testimony of any kind. Just pious prattle written by later believers.
