The Gospels and the war in Ukraine.

[Fake Messiah]

can the Gospels, written 35 to 65 years after Jesus' execution have any historical credibility to them? After all, if individuals can promulgate disinformation in our Day even with the myriad of fact checkers (who often go disbelieved anyways), could a tiny handful of individuals have created the stories, myths and legends surrounding Jesus that would go on to evolve and morph into a major world religion?

*DUH* And it is also misleading to say that Gospels were written 35 to 65 (or later) because while scholars estimate that those were the years when they were created, those Gospels that we have now are not the ones written between 70 CE and 120 CE. The oldest gospel preserved is "Codex Vaticanus" whose creation dates in the 4th century and even Bart Ehrman says that we cannot know which sayings, parables, and events were in the original gospel, and which were invented and added over the centuries - he explains that in his book "Whose Word is It?: The Story Behind Who Changed The New Testament and Why", as well as in the video below (between 37:23 to 39:20)

And even that manuscript, Codex Vaticanus, contains a rather interesting marginal note probably from a furious medieval scribe: “Fool and knave, leave the old reading and do not change it!”
