No they didn’t. The men who wrote the separate documents…that were collected and bound together hundreds of years later into what was called, collectively, the New Testament…didn’t claim that. They were simply documenting what happened, what they saw, and what others saw.

Matthew (an eyewitness) wrote about it, Mark (who spent time with Peter) wrote about it, Luke (who said he was going to investigate these things and put them in chronological order so we don’t miss anything) wrote about it, John (an eyewitness who took care of Jesus’ mother) wrote about it, James (what would it take for your brother to convince you that he was the son of God, and your Savior) was an eyewitness who wrote about it, Peter (who ran and hid like a coward) was an eyewitness and wrote about it, and Paul (who knew all of these people) was a contemporary who met the risen Jesus and believed that God had raised Him from the dead based on the eyewitness accounts and the testimonies of those who were closest to Jesus, he wrote about it.

They weren’t writing the Bible. They weren’t writing the New Testament. The weren’t writing “the word of God.” To them, they were simply documenting what happened, what they saw, and what others saw.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
