It is interesting, that no one ever questions, who wrote the Bhagavad Gita,
IChing, or the Quran for that matter. Authorship of these writings never seem to
be disputed. I believe for several reasons. If an author were to write that the
Tao Te Ching was not written by a sage named Laozi or Ved Vyasa did not write
the Bhagavad Gita. No one would care, simply there are no eternal consequences,
or monetary value in writing such a book. The Quran however is a special case,
no one really writes dissertations against it, because we all know how very well,
what happens to those who do.
Not only are Christian Gospels disputed as distorted. Renowned Gospel
Scholar Bart Erhman even claims that the Gospels themselves could not have
been written or attributed to Yeshua's disciples themselves. He makes numerous
inferences that appear to be logical. He does not however apply actual empirical
findings to that argument. I want to address this smoking gun that others seem to
be hung-up over.
Eg. Fishermen are illiterate. Therefore Peter and John who were Jewish fisherman
could not have been attributed to the Gospels.
The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of
Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no
special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who
had been with Jesus. ~ Acts 4:13 NLT
Some versions translate 'ordinary' with 'unschooled, uneducated, unlearned....'
It does not mean that they were illiterate. This is simply a myth. I will tell you
why, empirically. Simply go to a Jewish Shabbat Service anywhere, and observe what
the children do in the middle of the service. They are invited to read passages of
Scripture out loud. They are thought to dwell on 'the Word' early on in life. I SAW IT
WITH MY OWN EYES. Bart Erhman can go fish for other myths. What is meant
'ordinary' ? Jewish orthodox believers were schooled very early in age to separate
those with the potential to be part of the rabbinical class. Essentially, Peter and John
were washouts. They were not singled-out as being exceptional i.e. memorizing text,
or comprehending Jewish scripture on a high level. Poor Ignorant fishermen, really ?
Why are there differences in the gospels ?
