New Testament Purpose

New Testaments of the Bible are Written Traditions based on the Oral Traditions Gospels (Good News) words and teachings of Jesus Christ. By the early Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ. Inspired words of God the Father, Authorized by Jesus Christ (God the Son, and guided or aided by God Holy Spirit.

The new testament is about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ....The only begotten Son of God...

The New Testament starts out with four "gospels" they are the eye witness accounts (testimonies) from four sources.. from disciples "who witnessed all that Jesus did" and His life, words, execution and resurrection. It's interesting to note that these same disciples were severely flogged for "teaching in His name" and told not to do it any more, but they went straight out from this to the people and the temple and continued teaching about Jesus. Also all but one of the disciples (apostles) were martyred rather than take back their testimony. After these first four accounts called "gospels" which is Greek for Good News, is the account of events concerning the very first believers.. then there are letters to church groups from leaders such as Peter, Paul, James, John and Jude. The first churches circulated these letters and books among their selves. If you wnat to find out about Jesus, his life, etc, you can read one or more of the gospel accounts. It's interesting to see they all tell the same story, with some differences in small details, as occurs with all eye witness accounts. Most believe the Book/Gospel of Mark was written first about 60 A.D. - thirty years after the fact. Mark was not an apostle but worked closely with them as a traveling companion and a sort of secretary. It's believed he wrote down Peter's account. The last of the New Testament written was the Book of Revelation, written by the disciple/apostle John (who also wrote a gospel account and three short letters). The Book of Revelation was written around 90.A.D. Jesus was born around 4 A.D. (there was a slight error in the early calendar) and began His ministry at about 30 years of age, and was crucified/executed about 3 years later. blessings..

Why do you think the Bible contains both the old writing and the newer ones? In the bible we can see that the Israelites called out to God. They wanted a saviour. They wanted leadership. They asked for a king to guide them. This is the purpose for the scriptures of that period - to be an answer. Now if it is decided that these later scriptures are not to be accepted then that decision goes with a belief. Does this answer your question? I am interested in hearing your answer too wapewe.
