How do we know when the Gospels were written?

Hi Rev, Jesus wasn't talking about the actual Temple in Jerusalem, in John 2:19-21 it is explained. Then the Jews demanded of him, "What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"

​

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

​

The Jews replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" But the temple he had spoken of was his body. Bit of a yawn really.Brian.

How can you have a Christian principle dating back before Jesus?Brian.

Yes indeed, but as there were no Christians before Jesus' appearance then it would not be a Christian principle. So, it is a very old Jewish principle that Christians took on after the death of Jesus?Brian.

Which is about as reliable as the Bible!Both books contain internal errors, oodles of contradictions, historical inaccuracies, and outright myths.it is diificult to class the Qur'an as anything else but the plagiarism and regurgitations of Muhammad, a poor market worker who overheard these fairytales from Jewish and Christians and put his own spin on them.Both books have been responsible for horrific episodes in human history.Brian.
