Other than the dead sea scrolls There's a lot unfortunately that's missing from early Jewish manuscripts. Even more is missing from the early Jewish Christian sects.. most of what we have was preserved by the gentile church. And a lot was lost during the burning of the library if cesseria I personal...

Unfortunately the jewish christians and the judiasm did not preserve much. And the burning of the library of caeseria lost much also.

Thanks.

I saw the geneology page that gyran shared

I'm curious what could be the way they could legitimize it as i don't know how ancient a source it could come from.

Someone was telling me that he could trace his genealogy to james.

Sounded questionable, but I'm curious what he was using as his source that James had kids

But why do you think it says more than the synoptic gospels were written in some particular order and each knew the work of his predecessors and borrowed from them? Obviously there was an order. Whether they used common sources or each other, we don't know. How do you know differently? Or is that w...
