Here's the problem verga ..the gospels are actually OLD testament.. as they are retrospect on the life and work of Christ ..they are for the most part covering the time and work of Christ under the OT law .
Jesus had to keep that OT law PERFECTLY... but the NT started on Pentecost...
Am I understanding correctly that you are saying the Gospels, written after the death Resurrection and Ascension, are really OT?
Please poll your fellow non-Catholics and see how they feel about that statement.
Is that so hard to understand?? They are written HISTORICALLY about a time before the NEW COVENANT ...now as a good catholic you should know when Christ said there was now NEW COVENANT right?
The life of Christ..as recorded in the scriptures ... is His life under the OLD TESTAMENT
Jesus needed to keep the whole OLD COVENANT law perfectly ...He was the only one who could...
The Gospels were a 'look back" at Christ and His teaching.. they were not contemporary .. the majority of what was written was before the New Testament (Covenant) was instituted..at the Last.......yea you know
I am not saying that they should be 'replaced" in the OT... I am simply saying they record the life of Christ BEFORE THE NEW COVENANT and therefore reflect OT laws..
More specifically, the NT started when Jesus died on the Cross...But Pentecost stands out as a marker...
I would post the scripture that proves it but since it is scripture, it wouldn't be authoritative to you...
