Bible Question (short): Revelation in the Gospels? |
Question (full): Nolan - Thanks for the response. I'm not sure that this is an answer I'm comfortable with, unfortunately. I understand and accept the inspiration of scripture, but I think what you're proposing is something different - something I've never heard before. The idea that parts of the Gospels are not only inspired, but actually the result of personal revelation in some part is pretty alarming to me. That means, if I understand you correctly, that the authors of the Gospel wrote down as actual events things that they had no direct or indirect knowledge of, on the basis of direct personal revelation. That seems contrary to everything I've ever learned about the Gospels, and even seems contrary to the Gospels themselves - they seem (to me) to be written as "history" - "This is what happened - I was there and saw it or know someone who did". Help me out here - that's way outside my sphere of comfort. |
