Why was there such a large gap between Jesus death and the Bible?

You know when Hollywood makes a movie and completes production but the test run of the movies to test audiences doesn't work well? You know how they have to go back and reshoot scenes, do re-writes, edit parts in and out and hope they now have a new, more appealing movie?

Same thing here but it was 2000 years ago.

Romans weren't going to have any of that Non-Pork Eating, Worshiping a regular man, Jewish shyt. It had to be repackaged.

Do you know how long it took to write a book then when paper didn't exist

Ummm, the oldest surviving writings on Alexander the Great date to 400 years after his death. Oldest surviving writings of Aristotle are 1400 years after his death. Plato, 900 years.

Considering that the oldest fragment of the NT was carbon dated to 70 AD (37 years after J died), there's no large gap.

Oldest NT fragment found (John Rylands Papyrus) is ~125 AD by paleography since the fragment is too small for C-14 without destroying most of it in the process. Contains a portion of the Gospel of John. I was thinking of the Dead Sea Scrolls (which have been C-14 dated) when I posted earlier. My apologies.

Nah. This subject comes up a lot and I think most already know the answers. Also, if J was executed in 33 AD, then we're talking 92 years (John Rylands) in comparison to 400 years in the case of Alexander the Great. 92 years would be generous considering the fragment is most likely a copy so, was copied from something written earlier.

Because it wasn't until First Council of Nicaea that the Romans agreed as to how they were going to incorporate their Pagan beliefs into their version of Christianity

Then, at the Council of Rome, they decided which books (presumably the ones that agreed with their viewpoint on exactly how they wanted Christianity to be portrayed) were to be included in the Bible



they had to wait long, because had they put out the present version of the Bible right after Jesus (pbuh) "died", there would have been a bunch of people saying "hold up, I used to kick it with dude and he never said some of this stuff nor would he approve of it"
