Christians, would you have saved Jesus, if you had he chance?

[Angrboda]

Dating the beginning of the oral traditions predating the written text depends on assuming the birth narratives of Jesus and those weren't recorded until 4 decades after the supposed ministry and crucifixion of Christ. Anachronisms in the text of the old testament point to it having been largely composed in the 6th and 7th centuries BCE, despite appearing to narrate older events. The older events need not have become legend and stories at the time specified in the later codification of them, just as the beginning of the legends about Jesus need not have occurred in 33 CE. If the legends about Jesus had their beginnings several decades earlier, that gives plenty of time for a church to develop around the legends. The dates of the birth and crucifixion would have been back filled later, decades after the supposed events.
