Bible Question: Everything that I have read so far has it that the life and teachings of Yashua were written down sometime after His death. There were the 12, and the 70, and many others who followed yashua during His ministry. So, none of His followers took notes? Nobody wrote anything down until after He returned to the Father? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Maus... Welcome to the forum! You are looking at the events in Scripture through the eyes of your own culture, experiences, and chronological context. Did you know that a Jewish 12-year-old in the time of Christ were not only literate, but they had large portions of the Law and Prophets memorized verbatim? Even the average Greek child could quote Homer and other poets. How many children today even have their times tables memorized? Even so, people very rarely are walking around recording everything for posterity. It always is after the fact, that people start realizing the need for something to be documented. We don't, for example, when Einstein is 30 years of age, suddenly start thinking, "Goodness! We better start taking notes for his biography!" In Him, Doc |
