The book of Matthew was written 80-100
The book of Luke was written 80-100
The book of John was written 90-120
If you read the gospels starting from the earliest manuscript w/c is Mark, you will notice that Jesus was being portrayed as Man. Then as you continue you will see the progression.
Verses being added by the authors to show Jesus as son of god.
watch the progression and the alteration...watch it carefully...
In
Mark 1:1-The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
if you are using the NIV bible it says in the commentary below that in some manuscript the phrase " Son of god " is not found. hmmm?
Mark 8:29-But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ.
Matthew 16:15-16- 15"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
kita mo sa addition? hehe
In mark...it only says " you are the Christ ", well christ could only mean anointed one, it does not have a strong emphasis on Jesus' Godhood.
BUT in Matthew...after the phrase " you are the Christ " naay addition " The Son of the Living God ". see the attempt to deify Jesus? tsk tsk..
Remember guys Mark is Older than Matthew and its been proven that Matthew used Mark as reference sa iyang pagsulat sa Gospel according to Matthew.
so after 15 years instead nga you are the christ, ni evolve na into you are the Son of god.
More to come.
exciting ni...kebs...
Finally the weather has calmed down in here..hehehe..the emotional whirlwinds.
I think Mr. Malic had a point in this thread and if we are really true to ourselves there's indeed some 'dagdag bawas' to the Bible. It's a pain in the butt but it is the truth to which I will not contest.
But let me reply to the underlying ramification that might slips out from this.
Regardless of what Mr. Malic had point out between the difference of the two quoted verse, it cannot be denied also that on Mark 3:11 and Mark 15:39 the book yet again claim that Christ was the Son of God.
Mark 3:11 says, "And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God."
and
Mark 15:39 says, "And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God."
So there, case solve..no matter what, we can always say that the Bible claim that Christ is truly the Son of God.
Once again may I ask the simplest question: Why did the Jewish religious authorities killed Jesus in the first place?
Considering that there was no Bible yet at that time claiming what Christ is.
