=============================

The Crucifixion of our Lord was in 33 A.D. and the Apostolic Writings or letters were all written in-between 33 A.D. and 70 A.D. "with the exception of Revelation which was written by John while exiled on Patmos Island in his old Age" which is why the destruction of the second temple is not brought up by the Apostles. Matthew, John, Peter, and Jude were four of the Twelve Apostles. James the brother of our Lord, Mark, Luke who also wrote Acts of the Apostles were later converts how ever according to Irenaeus against Heresies the Gospel of Mark is from Peter and Luke is from Paul. Mark and Luke simply wrote down what Peter and Paul told them to. Their writings are based on what they observed or what they were told by the Twelve Apostles or Mary and were Authorized by the Apostles. Paul who wrote the fourteen Epistles Romans through Hebrews was chosen by Jesus and his writings were also authorized by the Apostles.

The Agnostics or atheists that keep making the claims that what we have in the New Testament was written later as a result of Oral Tradition either intentionally ignore or are completely ignorant about the mass collection of the Early Church writings by:

Clement (A.D. 35 - 100)

Ignatius (A.D. 35 - 107)

Polycarp (A.D. 69-155)

Justin (A.D. 100 - 165)

Irenaeus (A.D. 115/125 - 200/202)

Tertullian (A.D. 155/160 - 220/230)

and so on.

They also ignore the fact that the Dead Sea Scrolls, "the Old Testament" ,was written before the inner-testimonial period, non Christian accounts such as Josephus prove that Jesus was an actual person, archeological finds have all been in agreement with what is written in the Bible, geological events such as earthquakes, and astronomical events "such as eclipses 'blood moon" from the past are also in agreement with what is written in the Bible.

It's annoying when the Science, History, H2, or Discovery Channel keeps playing shows claiming that the Early Church with held books at the Council of Nicaea thus defined Christianity as we know it and that we just recently discovered these so called Lost Gospels. The Church did not hide or suppress the Gnostic Gospels as the secularist claim today they were published in the Ante-Nicene Fathers in 1885 to 1897 before they found the Gnostic Fragments in 1945.

They didn't add the Gnostic writings because they were not Apostolic writings but were from the Marcions and the Valetinians read Irenaeus Against Heresies: Book I Chapter XX. the false Gospel of Thomas, and Irenaeus Against Heresies: Book I Chapter XXXI. the false Gospel of Judas.

Irenaeus (A.D. 115/125 - 200/202)
