Re: Languages in Gibson's Passion

Rather offtopic:

The standard argument that the gospels were written after 70 A.D. is that
they (especially Matthew) contain very accurate prophecies of the
destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, which  took place in that year.
The argument is that these prophecies were put in after the fact to
demonstrate Jesus' position as a prophet.  The counterargument, of
course, is that Jesus really did make these prophecies, and they are
accurate because he really was the Son of God.

For an overview of the Gospels, although one somewhat biased towards a
nonreligious viewpoint, see http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_ntb1.htm
