These four accounts have been subjected to the most vigorous criticism for 2,000 years by some of the world's best and most critical intellects who have yet to make a case. The writers themselves declare that they were either eyewitnesses to the events recorded or that they took pains to research and write with care and accuracy exactly what happened. In composing his biography of Jesus, the apostle Luke told Theophilus, for example, "I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning…so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught" (Luke 1:3,4). In referring to his entire Gospel, the apostle John ended his biography with these words, "This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true" (John 21:24). He also states, "The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe" (John 19:35). John was so confident in the accuracy of his Gospel that he made these bold statements publicly—even to those most eager to disprove them. The apostle Peter, from whom Mark received the information for his Gospel, also asserted to eyewitness testimony: "We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty" (2 Peter 1:16). Peter's comment could almost be considered a personal rebuke to the participants in the Jesus Seminar. Or perhaps the members of the JS would prefer to listen to the words of Albert Einstein, who wrote of the Jesus of the Gospels in response to liberalism, "No myth is filled with such life."87
