| Oct 23, 2025 at 4:24 | comment | added | vsz | @KadalikattJosephSibichan : The late dating of the Gospels mainly hinges on one assumption: that they must have been written after 70 AD because Jesus could not have predicted the destruction of the Temple. However, even without invoking divinity, there are plenty of ways such a prediction could have been made, whether by a lucky guess, by observing the growing unrest and knowing it has happened before, or by using the Temple’s destruction symbolically to represent the demolition of old religious practices and the rise of new ones. | |

As a result, Matthew preserves key historical facts. In contrast, the Book of Acts serves a different purpose: to document the development of the early Church within the broader Greco-Roman world, where many believers might never heard of this rumor. This specific details are no longer central to its narrative. | |

Gospel by Matthew is understood to have been written sometime between 60 AD and 80 AD much after the events of Acts took place. And Matthew mentions ' widely circulated to this very day .' I don't feel it is a casual remark . | |

| Oct 22, 2025 at 21:47 | comment | added | Nigel J | I don't understand the question. Matthew, the first of the evangelists to write an account, specifically reports the lie that had been told. Yet you say 'we do not see [the apostles] openly countering the soldier's lie'. What do you think Matthew is doing, the very first time (apart from, perhaps, Peter) that pen was put to paper by the apostles ? Once exposed in print there is no need to comment further. The lie has been publicised. | |
