SOC, you really need to learn some ancient history. Things were nothing like you imagine them to be.
The Gospels are myths, not sacred realities passed through the generations. That's why the epistles of Paul never speak of anyhing but scripture and revelations; because he was making it all up. He learned nothing from any "apostles." If the story of Jesus was so important, why didn't any of the "apostles" write it down? Matthew, Mark, Luke and John weren't apostles. Why did the story come from them, and only after the Jews were slaughtered by the Romans? Why were the Gospels written in Greek? Jesus was a fantasy, and to preserve the mystery of his existence, the Gospels set the story 40 years earlier. That explains why there is no record of Jesus in any historical record until AFTER the Gospels were written. Then he pops up in a couple records, some of which were obviously altered by Christians in the years to come.
But you'll never accept that, even though it is far more believable than the Gospels are.
