-Paul’s letters are older than the book of “Mark” so there was literacy not long after the crucifixion. There were churches in Rome writing in Greek about church matters early in the religion.
-Christ was apocalyptic according to book of Mark. If these texts were written long after the crucifixion, the end of the world did not happen in their generation then why include them in Mark? This proves that where were written accounts of Christ called source “Q”. These accounts were most likely written in Aramaic shortly after the crucifixion and by first person accounts but not recorded in real time. These were accounts that were not organized but used by the early churches as reference sources. Someone decided to create a narrative and organized them in one of the churches, (transcribed in Greek). Other churches did the same, their own versions or using the version “Mark” as an example not the source, “Q”. The book of “Mark” may have simply represented a particular church’s hand book with no name given to an author. This is why books of “Luke” and “Mathew” have a mix of “Mark” and possibly “Q” but in different order and with modified narratives. The original, the first, canonization of the New Testament, whoever the person or counsel was, took these early narratives and gave them names as Christ’s “disciples”. Since they were accepted writing of the early churches, the council did not combine them into one, they left them separate so all churches at the time can use them in their services. The original source “Q” was no longer used and the parchment or material it was written on vanished, disintegrated over time with no duplications.
-The later book of “John” was not apocalyptic and did not include an end of the world and the religion was modified for a more permanent understanding of Christ and made Christ fit the model as a divine God in the first person or as equal with the Hebrew God then simply a “son of a God” who was only a simple mortal, or a Hebrew Messiah at the time.
-More canonizations followed as the church grew throughout Rome to the current version we have today starting sometime after 60 AD (CE).
