>>14152582>Most bible scholars believe in a historical jesus Of course, a mythic Jesus is a very minor position, but many that do hold to it argue it that the lack manuscripts dating to the first century is a great indicator of Christ being constructed.
>Many People already believe that mark is the oldest gospel so it doesn't say anything about the other gospels being older than previously believed.Yes, it's the position that Mark was the first gospel, but the other synoptic gospels, according to scholars, use Mark as a source. This means that if Mark is dated to 50 instead of early 70 AD, the other gospels now have 20 more years, between 50-70, to have been written.
It also removes the stumbling block of the fall of the second temple, the only thing stopping the gospels from being written earlier according to secular scholars. If Mark, with its same prophecies, is written earlier than that which it prophesises, the other Gospels that can contain the same prophecy can be too.
