Jesus Did Not Die For Your Sins

But I want to back up a And I'd only recently started listening or hearing things about this cue, like gospel or whatever, that has been lost and is connected to, you said, Luke and Mark somehow.

Tell us more about what that is, because I had only recently started hearing about that.

Yeah, so this is a big deal in New Testament scholarship because...

If people don't know, the order of the gospels where Mark was written somewhere around 65 AD.

These are very rough numbers, so don't hold me to them.

Nobody really knows exactly.

But so Mark was written around 65 AD or CE, whichever designation you want to use.

Matthew was about 10 years later, then Luke came about 10 years later.

So now we're talking about 75 to 85 AD for Luke and Matthew.

And then John came last around 90 to 95.

Some scholars even put it as late as 100.

CE or AD.

I'll just say CE.

That way it can be consistent.

And what's interesting about the Q source is, well, the Q source is, it's a hypothetical source of teachings and sayings from Jesus.

The reason it's hypothetical is first because it's never been actually discovered.

And the reason they hypothesize this exists is because Matthew and Luke, it's clear that they they took Mark's like action narrative, you know, what Jesus actually did, like his all the things that happened in Mark.

They pretty much just copied that.

And then they inserted these sayings and teachings of Jesus.

Like Mark does not have the Sermon on the Mount, which is based, which is called the Sermon on the Plain, which is interesting.

Okay, is it a mountain or a plain? Because it's not really the same thing.

There's a lot of discrepancies in the Gospels if people didn't know that.

So you have these teachings of Jesus that appear in Matthew and Luke only, and that's what's known as Q. It's the material that is not in Mark but in both Matthew and Luke to varying degrees.

There's different versions in each.

So, and then there's like, you know, Matthew adds some of his own teachings, whoever, whoever wrote Matthew, Luke does the same thing.
