[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]We have contemporaneous witness written account,[/b] we have written account of a witness to worshippers only a few decades later, not even a lifetime later, and we still have the same ethnic group in Syria practicing Christianity since the founding of that church was documented in the Gospels, as well as the lineage of patriarchs of the Syrian church - its on Wikipedia.  Not sure what the heck else would convince a devils advocate here[/quote]

Sorry, but I'm calling B.S. on this.  Either name it or it doesn't exist. [/quote]

The Book of John, written by Jesus's disciple John.  [/quote]

unlikely. The author is of the Book of John unknown. You can look this up on Wikipedia "The apostle John, son of Zebedee – traditionally the author was identified as John the Apostle, [b]but his authorship is almost universally rejected by modern scholars.[/b][2][4] (I've omitted the cited references).

It was also written around 90-110 C.E. so it's unlikely this author was alive when Jesus was.

The gospels are not contemporaneous written eyewitness accounts. [/quote]

Right -- John was the last Gospel written -- and in Greek[/quote]
