What’s up Heathens! Today we are going to discuss why exactly the New Testament Gospels aren’t good evidence for a historical Jesus. We have to knowwhen the books were written, who they were written by, if they were influenced by anyone, and how reliable they actually are.
Good historical evidence has a very unique standard. I would like to introduce a mnemonic device for 3 measures of historical evidence called TIE. Time, Independence, and Explanatory power. Using these 3 criteria for judging historical evidence, you can accurately judge how trustworthy and relevant a historical source is.
The New Testament Gospels mostly cannot give us any good information on the life of Jesus because they date nearly 40 years after Jesus supposedly died, they were either informed by earlier gospels (like mark) or by existing theology like Paul’s, and they also fail to provide any explanatory power because they only invoke more questions than they answer.
Next time we are going to be discussing how Mara bar Serapion doesn’t actually prove Jesus existed using the three criteria we established today.

What is Gospel?Gospel is the Old English translation of Greek evangelion, meaning "good news". It originally meant the Christian message itself, but in the 2nd century it came to be used for the books in which the message was set out. The four gospels of the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the main source of information on the life of Jesus.
Who is GOD?In monotheism and henotheism, God is conceived as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by theologians commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), omnibenevolence (perfect goodness), divine simplicity, and eternal and necessary existence. In theism, God is the creator and sustainer of the universe In deism, God is the creator, but not the sustainer, of the universe Monotheism is the belief in the existence of one God or in the oneness of God In pantheism, God is the universe itself In atheism, God is purported not to exist, while deemed unknown or unknowable within the context of agnosticism.
