Subject: Revelation in the Gospels? |
Bible Note: 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. |
