Actually, a case can be made that the four Gospels were written before 70 AD.

Keep in mind hat, history is written by historians and by religious scholars. All of them human. History can be truthful and made up or changed, depending upon what the writer want's his/her readers to believe. Example: history is being attempted to be changed about the earl U.S. and slavery. Do we want to believe what CRT teaches us, or the history we've all come to believe that was written before the modern times of 'unionized education'? Democrats want a different version of history and not the history that has come down to us from 4-5 centuries. If allowed, in about 50-100 years, the democrat version would topple the traditional history we've come to accept. Students 100 and 1000 years in the future would be condemning the founding of the U.S. as something that should never have occurred. Nobody would question that history, since it would have become accepted and 'truthful'.

Nope! Sorry. I don't accept anything blindly, especially when accounts of when somebody occurred is written about decades or centuries later. That kind of history could be just made up stories that became so prevalent that they became the true history of periods way back then.

“history is written by historians and by religious scholars.”...

all of whom would not be published at best or be dead at worst if they dared opposed the prevailing orthodoxy of their day.

Good post.

Every human is either self-dealing and/or has a conflict of interest.

Who knows exactly when Jesus was born. Even if he was born around 20oo years ago, nobody knows exactly what period of the year it happened.
.....

The scriptures say that the birth of the manchild who was caught up to heaven occured when the sun clothes the woman and the moon is under her feet.

That literally happens in the early fall these days in His heavens..

A couple thousand years ago, that sign would have been in the late summer/early fall.

One can know exactly when the Word Became Flesh and Dwelt among us.
He wrote it in His Word and in His Creation.

And He also wrote in His Word and His Creation where/when we are on His plan.

Wise men knew when and where to look at His birth, His Word and His Creation.
That hasn’t changed..
One without the other may not be the whole picture.

Creation declares His plan to a believing and unbelieving world..

From the Ram and Scales, to the 2 Fish and Woman, to the Man carrying a jar at Passover to the Lion...

His Heavens do Declare His Glory. And His Plan. And it is concert with His Word. From Genesis to Revelation.

And His people can know the Truth. And the Truth can set them free.

Or Satan can continue to deceive the whole world
