Paul was an eyewitness, as he saw the risen Christ
I didn't really expect that you would call out Paul as liar. Or maybe Galatians isn't authentic.
“For I did not receive it [his gospel message] from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through a revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Galatians 1:12)
But it was a small region so maybe paths crossed at some point.
There were more than 12 who were traveming with the Disciples. Did you know that?
Of course, there was the true believers that did not go hide, The women.
But this is all beside the point. We can, for sake of argument concede that all of the New Testament were written by eyewitnesses and your statement has still been demonstrated to be false.
Mark was written by an Associate of Peter, probably dictated by Peter himself. He was probably with the Disciples during the events of the book of Mark
Early church fathers could very well have been wrong, but at least one in the early second century said this take would be wrong. That Mark witnesses nothing. And that Peter didn't dictate anything. Mark did, according to the posted quote compile his memories of what Peter told him, after the death of Peter. You and your video being correct about Mark being an actual witness, and the church father being wrong would not be evidence to support your statement that this was not disputed. You and your video being correct about Paul being an eyewitness [to the evens of Gospel], and Paul being incorrect when he says he was not would not be evidence either and creates all kinds of theological issues,
Everything I said is true. Never called Paul a liar either and he isnt. Paul did see the risen Christ and Paul was the one who killed Stephen. Do you refute these facts?
Acts 22:6-11 NIV
[6] “About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. [7] I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ [8] “ ‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. “ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. [9] My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me. [10] “ ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked. “ ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’ [11] My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me."
So Yes Paul saw the risen Lord Jesus as I said. The verse you gave also shows that Paul recieved his Doctrine directly by Jesus Christ, not by man. Exactly! Because Paul's Doctine was different from that of the 12 and God didn't want Paul confused.
Yes their paths did cross at some point...on the road to Demascus.
My statement has been demonstrated to be true. Again Paul ordered the death of Stephen. Do you know who Stephen was?
According to you and your Liberal sources, Mark wasn't an eyewitness. According to the Scholars through history and the Conservatives in this day, he WAS an eyewitness and at a very minimum was given his info by Peter, but most would say that he was Peter’s Scribe and wrote down what Peter wanted him to write.
The Bible was written by the eyewitness to the events. They weren't necessarily present at every event, but they at least had direct knowledge of what happened. It was also written by direct revelation from God Himself. Moses obviously recieved direct Revelation from God about the Creation of all things for example.
