Thread: My professor is a LIAR!! (I think...)

I'm taking both a World Religions course and a Religions in America course this semester at ASU. Just last week we were going through Christianity in one of them and the professor pulled some garbage out of his hat that floored me...

The New Testament...Matthew written by Matthew, right? Mark, written by Mark? Luke written by Luke? John, written by John? Peter written by Peter, etc?

He says "No. They were written much later after these men would have been dead!"

He said that the gospels were written starting around 70AD and were written by others who simply gave them the names (Like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) as a sign of respect...not in deception since this was a custom at the time!

Me...I'm not buyin' it. He didn't mention where he got his sources from but indicated that this was "the agreement among historians today."

So...our children are being taught that the ONLY author of the New Testament who is who he says he is is Paul.

Jesus was probably illiterate...
And so were Peter and the rest...

's all I can do not to remind my professor that Jesus was in the temple wowing the rabbis when he was 12 years old...and that you DID NOT go into the Temple to preach/teach unless you were reading straight from the scrolls.

My children are only 5 and 1 but this is just another reason why I'll never send them to college (assuming God leaves us in this hell long enough) unless they've proven to me that they've got the extreme Christian grounding needed to survive the anti-God, leftist, liberal, tripe propaganda that will be thrown at them.
