Virtually all countries have heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but there are still small groups in most countries and individuals in all countries who have not heard the Gospel. At one time the United States sent out many missionaries to other countries, but it seems now that other countries are sending missionaries to the U.S. as we are viewed now as mostly pagan. Sad but true.

What is the founding date of Christianity?
Christianity has no recorded date of formation but it originated from Jesus Christ who died on the cross to set us free from the power of sin. Paul, one of the apostles preached about the gospel of Jesus Christ far and near. he went to Samaria, Rome and other regions to preach the gospel and as a result many people were converted into the new religion. it was in Antioch the followers of Jesus were first referred to as Christians, so I think that may be the founding date of Christianity ( somewhere around 33 A.D )
Why was the Infancy Gospel of Thomas not put into the New Testament?
The Infancy Gospel of Thomas is one of several surviving Infancy Gospels that give an idea of the miracle literature that was created to satisfy the desire of early Christians for more detail about the early life of Jesus. It contains the story about Jesus in the Temple at the age of 12, evidence that it was written later than the Gospel of Luke; and it was mentioned by Irenaeus around 185 CE. So, it can be assumed to date from the fisrt half of the second century CE. The Infancy Gospel of Thomas depicts a number of cruel and malicious deeds performed by the child Jesus. While these no doubt inspired awe and proved the miraculous powers of Jesus, the Gospel was at odds with the image of Jesus that the Church Fathers wanted to teach. No doubt this was an important reason for its exclusion.
Which Gospel is believed to be the last Gospel?
The Gospel of John is the last of the New Testament gospels. Some believe it was written early in the second century, nearly a century after the year Jesus is believed to have died. Other gospels, not included in the New Testament, continued to be written for centuries. Some others date the writing of the Gospel before 70AD or up to the end of 95AD. The latter date is the most widely accepted date. The Gospel of John is the last gospel.Another Answer:It is almost universally accepted that John's Gospel was the last New Testament gospel to be written. It can readily be established that John was written later than Luke, because it is actually based loosely on Luke. Luke's Gospel, in turn, was originally based on Mark. And biblical scholars are satisfied that Luke was later than Matthew.
What date would modern scholars assign to Mark's Gospel?
The almost universal consensus of modern scholars is that Mark's Gospel was written approximately 70 CE. A slightly earlier date is possible. A date in the early 70s is also possible, but most scholars do not place the year very much later.One of the internal clues to the date of Mark's Gospel is at Mark 13:2, where Jesus was said to prophesy the destruction of the Temple, an event that occurred in 70 CE. According to Mark, Jesus went on to predict the end of the world within the lifetime of his followers.If Jesus had really prophesied the destruction of the Temple, he would have been correct, but he would have been in error about the imminent end of times. Since it can not be accepted that Jesus made predictions that were capable of being in error, these prophecies must have originated with Mark, writing at a time when he would have known of the destruction or imminent destruction of the temple. Other clues in the Gospel indicate that it could not have been written later than the early 70s.
Why is the length of Jesus' public ministry in John's Gospel different from that in the synoptic Gospels?
A:New Testament scholars have traced the stories of the mission of Jesus in the synoptic gospels and find they involve a period of apparently less than one year. This does not mean it could not actually have been somewhat longer, but this is all that is found. Luke's Gospel states that John the Baptist began to preach in 28 CE, thus suggesting that the crucifixion of Jesus could have been in 30 CE. John's Gospel makes it clear that, in the author's view, the mission of Jesus took three years, with Jesus going to Jerusalem for the annual Passover festivals. It can not be assumed that the author of John somehow knew more than the other authors, since it has now been established that the anonymous author of this gospel based it loosely on Luke's Gospel. Assuming Luke is correct on the date on which John began to preach, the crucifixion of Jesus in John's Gospel could not have been before about 33 CE.
Closer Than a Brother By CS Grogan?
Closer than a Brother is a song written by C.S. Grogan, a gospel songwriter. The copyright date is 1957, and the song is about how Jesus is closer than a brother.
What date was the Temple cleared by Jesus?
John's Gospel has Jesus clearing the Temple of money-changers at the beginning of the mission of Jesus, some three years befor the crucifixion. In this gospel, Jesus did not make any effort to hide his true nature, as he does in the other gospels, on the contrary making every effort to proclaim his mission. It was consistent with this theme that he would declare his interest in the Temple of his Father as soon as possible. The synoptic gospels all place this incident at the end of the mission of Jesus, as the catalyst for the arrest of Jesus. This appears to have taken place in the synoptic gospels on the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem, commemorated today as Palm Sunday.
On what date did Jesus die?
Jesus is believed to have died on the date of April 3, 33 AD.
How do theologians know when Mark's Gospel was written?
A:Theologians are divided on this, with some insisting on an early date of authorship, while others accept the evidence that the Gospel was written approximately 70 CE. New Testament scholars, however, have reached a near-unanimous conclusion that Mark's Gospel was written between 68 and 73 CE.One of the internal clues to the date of Mark's Gospel is at Mark 13:2, where Jesus was said to prophesy the destruction of the Temple, an event that occurred in 70 CE. According to Mark, Jesus went on to predict the end of the world within the lifetime of his followers. If Jesus had really prophesied the destruction of the Temple, he would have been correct, but he would have been in error about the imminent end of times. Since it can not be accepted that Jesus made predictions that were capable of being in error, these prophecies must have originated with Mark, writing at a time when he would have known of the destruction or imminent destruction of the temple. Other clues in the Gospel indicate that it could not have been written later than the early 70s.
How long after Jesus' death were the Gospels of Matthew Mark Luke and John written?
Most biblical scholars accept that the Gospel According to St Mark was the first written of the four canonical Gospels. Mark's Gospel was written in Greek, and there is ample evidence that Matthew's Gospel and Luke's Gospel were based on Mark's Gospel. St John's Gospel appears to have been based on Luke's Gospel, but the author clearly also knew Mark's Gospel and copied some material from it. Ian Wilson (Jesus: The Evidence) says that it can come as a shock to discover that no-one can even be sure who wrote the gospels. Nevertheless much scholarly study has gone into establishing approximately when they were written.Mark's Gospel was written in the late 60s or very early in the 70s CE, thus around 40 years after the most commonly accepted dates for the death of Jesus.Matthew's Gospel was written after Mark's, but before Luke's Gospel. It is generally considered to have been written in the 80s CE. This means that it was probably written more than 50 years after the death of Jesus.Luke's Gospel is generally considered to have been written in the 90s CE, but could well be from early in the second century. It comes some 70 years after the death of Jesus, and long after all his contemporaries were dead.John's Gospel is generally considered to have been written a little after Luke, and a date early in the second century is probable. Once again, this Gospel is dated more than 70 years after the generally accepted date of the crucifixion.
