I'm not talking about us never finding any writings made by Jesus, I'm talking about christians claiming that he never wrote any, he only taught people by talk and action
Still not entirely surprising. Scholars in those days weren't monks living in monasteries, carefully scribing manuscripts. They were... like Jesus. They had followings of other scholars, discussed things in groups, and most knowledge was passed on orally. It's actually a fundamental fact of Judaism pre-200AD that the religious thought was memorised and taught on, rather than written down.
