BroKirk:
We need to becareful what we state as fact.

BroLuke:
Luke 1
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things
from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast
been instructed.

Perfect:  akribos {ak-ree-boce'} 1) exactly, accurately, diligently.

Understanding:  parakoloutheo {par-ak-ol-oo-theh'-o}  1) to follow after 1a)
so to follow one as to be always at his side 1b) to follow close, accompany
2) metaph. 2a) to be always present, to attend one wherever he goes 2b) to
follow up a thing in mind so as to attain to the knowledge of it 2b1) to
understand, (cf our follow a matter up, trace its course) 2b2) to examine
thoroughly, investigate 2c) to follow faithfully i.e a standard or rule, to
conform one's self to.

Luke is saying that he was a follower of Jesus as in *he was at His very
side.*

I don't go by what these jake-legs have written in some book and had a bunch
of other jake-legs with a few capital letters behind their names vote in as
truth.  I read the book for what it says.  Then, I CLOSE it...

As for facts, according to man's way of looking at things, the *facts* are
those that most people agree on.  In reality, that is often not the case.

Why is it that Oneness theologians chose to listen to the babbling of
Trinitarians and humanist when it comes to sources for history or theology?
They all start with an idea and then use the idea to *prove* the idea.  The
profane babbling they started with to come to every conclusion you have
quoted is the ASSUMPTION that ***ALL*** original text of cannon were written
in Hebrew.  NO ONE has *one shred* of evidence that this is true.  Not one
person...

You have to blind yourself to the fact that the vast majority of ALL in that
area had at least a workable knowledge of Greek.  Alexander the Great SAW to
that.  It is a historically verifiable FACT that he forced all lands he
conquered to learn Greek and do business in Greek.  He conquered Rome:  They
knew Greek.  He Conquered Israel:  They knew Greek.  He conquered that WHOLE
area:  They knew Greek.  Why, even your denial of this simple fact contains
an admission of its truth.  ;->

1 Timothy 6
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane
and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with
thee. Amen.

I find the evidence offered as support for these assertions of when and how
the original texts were written and by whom, laughable.  I can
systematically destroy every shred of it...

Then we are left where everyone SHOULD start in the first place:  With the
internal claims of the Bible itself.  Luke claims to be an eyewitness.  Now,
if that is not true, you have to REMOVE the book of Luke AND the book of
Acts.

If you do not, then your whole theology is based on the word of a liar who
gave first hand accounts of something he NEVER saw.

His account is either what he said it was or it is not.  There is no middle
ground.
