Salam,
''QUOTE
the authors of the four gospels were not even near him. "
You ask me to research how my "religion" came about but then make a statement like this?
This statement is false all the way through. I don't know where you got this from but it is incorrect. 3 of them were part of the 12 disciples/apostles who lived and walked and talked with Jesus on a daily basis. The 4th one was a disciple OF those very same people who walked and talked with Jesus, so he learned directly from them.''
After making an inquiry to a angelican priest he gave me this answer:
''According to tradition, Matthew and John were members of the twelve.
Mark was one of Jesus' followers, but not one of the twelve, and Luke was a gentile believer, not one of Jesus' followers. (Luke explains at the beginning of his gospel how he compiled it.)''
