Who comes first: Oracles or a Life? The Death

Post by Giuseppe »

if what came first were the ''sayings of the Lord'',

...then these ''Sayings'' are so banal and vain that it's impossible to believe that they were heard (by a real man or by hallucinations) in the Origin of the Christianity, to work as primary impulsion.

Therefore what came first was a ''life of the Lord''.

But we have in the Origins a ''life'' who is limited to only the Death and Resurrection of Jesus.

So also the ''life of the Lord'' came later.


THe chronological order would be the following:


1) Death and Resurrection of Jesus (Paul)

2) a ''Life of the Lord'' (Mark)

3) ''Sayings of the Lord'' (Matthew, Papias, etc)
