You put gThomas written around 110 CE. So when do you date the writing of the gospels and the writing of Revelation?

Cordially, Bernard

No, I most certainly don't, have not, and never will. I date Thomas in between 63 BCE and 69 CE

Where do you have that I say 110 CE?

to mlinssen, Every writer has a goal, and will pick sources that befit him. But this is what "Luke", if copying from gMatthew, did not do: And why "Luke" did not implement Matthean material most agreeable, such as: - Mt20:1-16, never too late to join (or rejoin) the Christian br...

Dialogue with Trypho , chapter 28 Justin: Since I bring from the Scriptures and the facts themselves both the proofs and the inculcation of them, do not delay or hesitate to put faith in me, although I am an uncircumcised man; so short a time is left you in which to become proselytes. If Christ's c...
