Reply #83: Good points!

The first gospel to get its historical mention was around 160 CE which was about 130 years after the death of Jesus.

As far as the Hebrew Bible (old testament), it was probably first drafted around 900 BCE and finalized to what we know today at around 600 BCE. It was not written by Moses back in 1400 BCE. The Torah is a combination of stories written by at least 4 different people at different eras and then edited and put together by a fifth person. There are different writing styles, different forms of Hebrew from different eras, duplicate and even triplicate passages meshed together into one story.

If you read the Hebrew Bible in its original Hebrew you start seeing how the NT contradicts with the alleged prophecies and naturally because of that questioning comes to place. Why would God not get to the point and be clear about the prophecies instead of creating this doubt and tricking most of us to spend eternity in hell?
