ZenBadger,tavarish and chatpilot the Four Gospels were written by men that were living at the same time that Jesus walked this earth. The Q is a dead issue it holds no water. The time line of the writing of the gospels does not mean they are invalid if anything it points to them being valid because they were written so close to Jesus life. There wasn't enough time for fable or myth to creep into His story. The underlined is used in both secular and religious investigation. You didn't refer to Luke at all Lukes gospel is extremely accurate about the people and places that he mentions in his gospel. Now you tell me why Luke would lie about Jesus when he took the time and energy to make sure his writing was so accurate about the rest of his book. You also have no proof that the Four Gospels were not written by Matthew,Mark,Luke and John. If there had never been anything written about Jesus that is not proof He did not live. I'm sure there have been many good things done by many people thats never been recorded and that alone does not determine they never lived. Yes there have been some small additions to the gospels and if you read the footnotes in your Bible they will tell you where and what they are. All the additions put together do not change the content of the NT.
Thor if you like we'll argue the salvation of that particular Pope but like I stated I do not know for a fact he was.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
