Now, everyone knows that Jesus wasn’t gay enough to waste his time writing, so he dictated his teachings to four writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. John was the best writer, for he was the one who said “in the beginning was the word and the word was with God.” John therefore proves that Stephen Colbert is God because everyone familiar with The Colbert Report knows about the word segment. The best parts of the New Testament, at least so far as teachers at The Robert Cornhole Bible College of Killbuck, Ohio are concerned, are the parts which describe Jesus’ three best friends, the Sons of Thunder. Before Jesus found these guys, they were in the ancient Israeli navy and they hunted bear-fish. They were real ass kickers and Jesus knew that if they became part of his team they could help him invent freedom and eventually create America. And here’s a spoiler: they were successful in the end. They invented freedom and then built America by inspiring Robert Cornhole and Joseph Smith. There are a lot of liberal theologians (most of them women or gay men) who say that Jesus was a historical figure and there are a lot of scientists (activist academics who research with Satan’s magic) who say that miracles are impossible. But all of them aren’t worth a shit and they will burn in hell. Some real theologians of the New Testament who don’t have an agenda are Hannitites, Glennedictines and Dittoheads. They didn’t even have to read the Bible to know in their gut how real men do real work. But the best theologians are the Colbert cornholists. These guys know that Stephen Colbert is the last coming of Christ, another thing which the gospels talk about.

The original texts were written in the first century of the Christian Era, mostly in Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the Conquests of Alexander the Great (335–323 BC) until the evolution of Byzantine Greek (c. 600). Collections of related texts such as letters of the Apostle Paul and the Canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were joined to other collections and single works in different combinations to form various Christian canons of Scripture. Over time, some disputed books, such as the Book of Revelation and the Minor Catholic (General) Epistles were introduced into canons in which they were originally absent. The twenty-seven-book canon of the New Testament, at least since Late Antiquity, has been almost universally recognized within Christianity. The New Testament consists of
* four narratives of the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus, called "gospels" (or "good news" accounts);
* a narrative of the Apostles' ministries in the early church, called the "Acts of the Apostles", and probably written by the same writer as the Gospel of Luke, which it continues;
* twenty-one letters, often called "epistles" in the biblical context, written by various authors, and consisting of Christian doctrine, counsel, instruction, and conflict resolution; and
* an Apocalypse, the Book of Revelation, which is a book of prophecy, containing some instructions to seven local congregations of Asia Minor, but mostly containing prophetical symbolism, about the end times.

In the Left Behind books, the New Testament was studied by Dr. Tsion Ben-Judah when he was researching who was the actual promised Messiah of the Jews, and was read by Eleazar Tiberias and his daughter Naomi when they were left behind during the Rapture. David Hassid, who admitted to being Jewish, was assumed by Jim Hickman to have never actually studied the New Testament when the Supreme Commander told him about Nicolae Carpathia's plan to ride a pig down the streets of Jerusalem in mockery of Jesus' "triumphal entry" on a donkey.
