And the New Testament was written well after he died, too.

Matthew - 5 yrs
Luke - 20 yrs
Mark - 30 yrs
John - 60 yrs

Approximate years after death those books written. Really no different than if close friend of Reagan or Kennedy decided to write a book about him. There'd be plenty of people still alive to dispute or discredit
the book if it was inaccurate.

Where did you get these numbers? There is scholarly debate about the length of time between Christ's death and the penning of the Gospels, but there is universal agreement that the order of writing was Mark, Matthew, Luke, John. In fact, the authors of Matthew and Luke likely used Mark as a source.

I was about to post the same thing. I don't think I've seen even the most conservative numbers for the time frame place Matthew only 5 years later.

From my research the 80 - 90 timeframe seems to about the time Matthew was written, some claim it was written earlier , with some saying as late as 110.

I dont have anything of value to add to this thread. Just thought I would share this fyler of clean cut Jesus that was left on my front porch yesterday. Apparently he had the most manicured facial hair in all of Nazareth.

The authenticity of the original gospels is not in question. They were written immediately after, or a generation after the death of Christ. Mark was the first from every reputable source I have read; John being the last. That much is agreed upon by the most hard-lined Christians and atheists. The content, obviously, is a different story.

I am very weary of documents like these, just like I am with other ancient 'sources' like the Gospel of Judas, etc. These were written hundreds of years after the death of Christ, and were kept out at Nicaea for a reason. Yet, I love seeing liberal websites like the Huffington Post taking such subjective and flimsy evidence and running it on their front page as evidence in the fallacy of the Christian religion. It's just completely absurd and irresponsible, but journalistic integrity is something that is almost entirely lacking in our culture today.

Because we are all Puritans at heart and think somehow that sex is sinful, even in a marriage. Since Jesus was a sinless person, he would have to be a virgin and not driven by the same lusts as everyone else.

Also, if he was married, then that leaves the possibility of an heir (ala, The Da'Vinci Code), which, unless the heir was semi-divine, that would put into question the whole fully man, fully God issue.

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with it and would put it down as Jesus experiencing all the pain of the world along with the rest of us.

If he had a child I personally think it'd be completely human as it would not have been technically conceived in the womb by the Holy Spirit.
