2 | why is the gospel of John different | John | Rowdy | 122453 | ||
It is thought by most scholars that Matthew and Luke based their accounts on Mark after reading it and noticing a few things missing. Thus the synopsis of the three shows a lot of similarities. John, however has a whole different personality and I for one am grateful for that difference. John probably waited until later in his life. You remember he was probably busy taking good care of Jesus' mother. But when he did turn into an author, look at the masterpieces he produced: his Gospel account, his 3 epistles and the Revelation. Yes I think we can appreciate the tremendous variety of information we're given. Again, I'm thankful for that vareity while at the same time, the Lord saw our human need for several different but similar accounts of the Gospels. God bless. --Rowdy |

3 | why is the gospel of John different | John | following him | 122464 | ||
Hello Rowdy; This is just guess work on my part; but from all the sources I've read, all his writtings were written somewhere around the year 90. This would be near the end or after his exile on Patmos where he recieved the vision. In chapter 1 Jesus gives him the command to (Rev 1:19) "Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things. All of the references I've read say that this refers to 1:1-19 (have seen), the letters to the churches (which are) and the rest of Rev (will take place). It seems to me that His gospel could fit the discription of what was. The gospel cleary shows Jesus in the same light as John saw Him in the vision. His espistles and the leters to the churches (that are) and the rest of Rev (which is to come). I have not found any source that agree with me so that is why I'm just guessing but it fits. The discription John gives of Jesus in his gosple may indicate a perspective recieved after he received the vision on Patmos. What do you think? |
