Then why did it take so long to write the Gospels. Also, why do you think Jesus never wrote anything down?

Because he was too busy building houses at the Jeruslem Estates.

Indeed. Besides, writing things down at that time was very Roman...anyway, he had apostles to go spread the word.

Do you realize that Alexander the Great wasn't written about until about 300 years after he died and people also thought he was a god?

First thing you should be taught about the Bible, It was written by men not God.

Well, there was that little fish in the sand...but other than that he was only a carpenter...No I joke I'm pretty sure he could read but apparently there are some writings being held deep in the Vatican or lost over time...

I believe he could read and was well educated, but writing was a special skill that only a few people had. I don't think Jesus knew how to write.

who mentioned jesus as a 12 year old in the temple reading from the scriptures????

Was he reading? Or did he know it all off by heart...they were his words after all.

It didn't say he was reading.

So he was pretty much quoting himself?
