1 | Revelation in the Gospels? | NT general Archive 1 | Jim Dunne | 9619 | ||
Thanks to all who replied. As Nolan pointed out, I have much to ponder. The one point made by JVH0212 about witnesses to creation is well made, although it is not clear to me that the creation story is intended to be taken as historical fact. (Nor do I see it as particularly necessary that it be so.) Just so everyone understands - I'm not questioning the validity of the gospel accounts. I'm simply trying to resolve a fairly pedestrian question that occured to me: "These events happened. The narrator of the events states that they were not witnessed. Yet we have detailed accounts. How did this come to be?" It may be as simple as Jesus relating the events after the fact - if not before the crucifixion, then there was ample time afterward. Thanks again to all. I will continue my research, and see what else I can find. That's what the forum is for, after all! In Him, Jim D. |

Jim- Just one last note from me. I know that at some time I will be in front of the One who wrote the book. In giving an account of myself I would rather He knew that I believed His Word and erred because I wanted to believe in Him literally and trust every Word He said than to look and believe what every one else thought He said. The basic fact is that Jesus said the only way you can come to the Father is through Him. If I believed the parables were literal (even though Jesus and the people knew they were parables) I would be trusting in the Word in a more childlike way than those who over analyze it and take it apart to fit every other theory and scientific explanation given, or throw parts out altogether or rationalize it as nothing more than fiction because it doesn't fit what we understand. Keep searching, but more importantly, keep reading that Bible! May God open your eyes and the Holy Spirit give you understanding, for we all need more of that. Debbie |
