Re: An earlier date for the Gospel of John

Both Revelation and the Gospel of John have arguments for their dating that include arguments from silence concerning key events that would seem inconceivable to have been left out. The horrific persecutions by Nero, the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD. The author of John identifies himself as a...

Re: An earlier date for the Gospel of John

Well, did John write revelations Before or after The Gospel? Add to that the fact that the GOJ was not written BY John, but by his followers, then the question isn't just when John passed it on but also when they wrote it down.

An earlier date for the Gospel of John

The above link explains the logic for an early date for the Gospel of John.

Mark 13: 32 “Now concerning that day or hour no one knows—neither the angels in heaven nor the Son—except the Father.

What about the Holy Spirit. Did the Holy Spirit not know when Jesus would return?

Thank you.
