The earliest text in the New Testament was written around 50 years after Christ’s death. There’s no definitive account of his life because the accounts in the gospels are sometimes contradictory. It’s messy, almost like it was written by a bunch of people recounting stories they heard rather than it being the literal word of God.
That just leads to another debate of who wrote the damn thing.
Hint: It wasn’t God or Jesus, but it won’t stop them from guessing those two first.
