Subject: Anyone take notes during Yashua's life? |
Bible Note: Greetings, Pardon me for interjecting here. I wanted to add a bit of insight. The idea of a "Q" document is just that ... an idea ... a hypothesis with no real support beyond comparisons between the Gospels. However, Doc did touch on a far more likely and feasible explanation. The problem with the "Q" document is that there is precisely zero mention of it in the Bible, non-biblical sources of the era, and the early church fathers. Something as important as a collection of notes from the three years during the ministry of Christ would have been precious and cherished, as well as preserved. Especially if any of that was written by Jesus himself. What is mentioned is that there were eye witnesses still alive throughout the first century. When you take in the abundance of eye witnesses, you don't need some mysterious and unmentioned "Q" document. This is especially true when the majority of the eyewitnesses are jewish, which Doc pointed out had a strong oral tradition of memorization. Jalek |
