2. The authors of those gospels indicate that the writing time was in the second century AD, that is, more than one hundred years after the death of Jesus. As far as ancient evidence is concerned, written records within 200 years after the incident can be regarded as reliable evidence. In addition, most scholars (Christians and non-Christians) believe that Paul's letters (at least some of them) were written by Paul in the middle of the first century, less than forty years after the death of Jesus. As far as ancient written evidence is concerned, it is a strong evidence that there was a man named Jesus in Israel at the beginning of the first century A.D.?
It is also important to realize that in 70 AD, the Romans invaded and destroyed Jerusalem and most parts of Israel, killing local residents. Almost all the cities were burned to ashes! We wouldn't be surprised if most of the evidence of Jesus' existence was destroyed. Many people who have seen Jesus may be killed. These facts reduced the number of witnesses who testified for Jesus. ?
Considering that most of Jesus' works are confined to a relatively obscure corner of the Roman Empire, it is surprising to find a considerable amount of information about Jesus from secular historical materials. ?
Jesus (A.D. 1/4- A.D. 30) is a central figure in Christianity. Christianity thinks that he is the messiah (savior, Christ) predicted in the Old Testament and the son of the Trinity, and is often called "Jesus of Nazareth".
Born in Bethlehem, Israel, Jesus began to preach at the age of 30. At the age of 33, when Pontius Pilate was in power, he was crucified for the sins of all mankind. On the third day, he ascended to heaven, appeared to his disciples 40 days later, and sat at the right hand of the Almighty Father. He must come to glory on the day when the world has exhausted its judgment, establish a glorious kingdom of heaven, and bring the final victory to "goodness."
