Nicolette talked about how people believed Moses wrote the Pentateuch and was later proven that those stories were really written hundreds of years after Moses death. The stories were pasted down from generation to generation leaving room for details people added instead of just the facts. This makes me wonder how much of the Gospels is true fact and how much was made up to make a better story.
Also with the Gospels being writen at different times I wonder if the authors took material from the stories written before them and how much they added themselves to create a story to fit their message and how the people talked about are perceived. They all agree that Jesus is betrayed by Judas, Jesus is taken by the Jews to Pilate, and he is crucified. However in John it is said that Jesus gives Judas a piece of bread which causes Satan to go into him and he betrays Jesus because of this. In Mark it says that Judas betrayed Jesus for money, making him out to be greedy. I question what is the truth or if both stories hold some truth to them.
