What
is an eyewitness?
The
men writing the Bible were eyewitnesses, God
created these men and circumstances for all to learn from.
In addition, memory and retention which God created is involved.
Luke
1;1-4
1 Inasmuch as many have
undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, 2 just
as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses
and servants of the word, 3 it seemed fitting for me as well,
having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it
out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; 4 so
that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.
2
Peter 1;16-21
Eyewitnesses
16 For we did not follow
cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For
when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this
was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am
well-pleased”— 18 and we ourselves heard this utterance made from
heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19 So we have the prophetic word made
more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark
place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. 20 But
know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of
one’s own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an
act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
