Luke never met Jesus pbuh, Is the gospel of Luke really a hearsay.?

Question

If you read Luke 1:2-3, you will learn, as I did, that Luke (who was not one of the 12 disciples and never met Jesus) said that he himself was not an eyewitness, and the knowledge he gathered was from eyewitnesses, and not as words inspired by God. Incidentally, why does every "Gospel" begin with the introduction According to. Why "according to?" the reason for this is because not a single one of the gospels carries its original author’s autograph! Even the internal evidence of

Answer 1

Mark was the earliest gospel recorded in writing. This happened 40 years after Jesus's death - in Rome! All the other gospels were written after that. None of the people who authored the Gospels met Jesus.

Answer 2

Did not Jesus say " Blessed are those who believe and have not seen?" (him and his wounds)
It has to do with someone called the Holy Spirit who at the time of the apostles, instructed the early Church and established it. No gospel has an "autograph" because God inspired these men to write what they did through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Gospels are not works of men, but of God.
Luke was a gentile (Greek) companion to Paul, formally called Saul, until Jesus renamed him after he appeared to him in a blinding light. Luke was instructed in the Oral Tradition of the church, he wrote the oral traditions down and wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. There is nothing wrong with that. He was obviously inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Luke spread the word of God to the gentiles as was the command called "the Great Commission" that Jesus gave to all who followed him, to spread the gospel to the world.

Answer 3

The reason that gospels were not written by any of the original apostles at first was because everyone thought that the end of time would be within a few years, and that all they had to do was spread the Word around for a few years until Jesus came back. When it became obvious that that was not going to happen, they had people start writing down the gospels. They had other people write down the gospels because most of the apostles were tradesmen or fishermen from Gaililee...not scribes or other learned men. Hope that this helps! And God bless...

Answer 4

in simple terms with the aid of fact a definite Gospel is termed After An Apostle would not advise He certainly Wrote It. fairly some Excerpts have been From Tertiary Witnesses. Even The Vatican Admits This actuality. Dummy

Answer 5

No, if you want to be saved you have to learn about Christ.

Luke is regarded by historians as a very good historian. He appears to have also written Acts (its an almost certainty they were companion volumes.)

He would have interviewed many people. He wasn't hooked into an unknown angel giving him a revelation, although He had the Holy Spirit with him, who is God the Spirit and greater than any angel and sent by Jesus to guide us into the truth (John 14:17, John 16:13). God's way with us is not to literally feed us everything by revelation, but to train us to think, judge etc. A revelation of the type Mohammed received from his angel source, is likely to make a man very proud and angry towards those who won't listen ... thats why there are very angry passages in the Koran where Mohammed gets very hard with his opponents .. in ungodly violence and wickedness. God won't lead a man that way.

God won't let His real revelation mislead. The disciples were born again, men transformed, who died for their beliefs, and not chancers, but honest men. They didn't set about lying to us. Reports of the bible being corrupt stem originally from folks like mohammedans - people who needed to explain away why Mohammed's 'revelation' contradicted Old and New Testaments.

Answer 6

Luke did meet Jesus.
The resurrected Jesus.
Obviously you have not.
