I said that there was a generation between the Ascension of Christ and the beginning of the writing of the NT Scripture. And it was true then and is true now. No implication. If we knew more about the whole timeline I could have said so many years, months, days, minutes and seconds. But to most of us, we understand the meaning of 'generation' and the implication.
The implication was not a longer time - it was the fact that there was a whole new generation of people born after Christ who never knew him. Those of us who are familiar with what we now know about those times understand that this was the driving factor behind the writing and collecting of NT Scripture.
Much of the Church believed that Jesus would return soon (note that history is full of people who wrongly believed the same, sometimes over and over and over and over). The Church realized that as the witnesses of Christ's life started to die off, they'd better get writing or else all that would be left is the oral tradition - the Jewish oral tradition is amongst the best in all humanity - which would eventually change. So during the succeeding centuries, copyists inadvertently and deliberately both with and without Church intervention made multiple and myriad versions of many many books.
If you meant a "generation" was only 20-25 years, I doubt CB would have gone to the trouble. Do you at least understand the point?
It's rude to point. I meant what I meant, as illustrated by above.
So you are saying that none of the Apostles, who knew and followed Christ, wrote any of the books of the New Testament?
What nonsense...Paul himself was writing everything he spoke...Long before your religion was a glint in Constantine's eye...
