WHY DID LUKE WRITE HIS GOSPEL ?
[Luke 1:1] For as much as many have taken in order a declaration of these things which are most surely believed among us. Even as they DELIVERED THEM UNTO US, WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING WERE EYEWITNESSED AND MINISTERS OF THE WORD: IT SEEMED GOOD TO ME also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first to write unto you in order, MOST EXCELLENT THE-OPH'-I-LUS, (the church tried to know : who is that The-oph'-i-lus, Luke's close friend. However, there are some Christians today claim that this is not a name of a person, but a Greek word which means "People". * I do not understand why the whole Bible was translated into English except for this word! * And if such: what is the value of keeping it ? * And they start this "so called" Greek word with a capital letter ? * And who was "most excellent" to Luke ? The people or his friend: The-oph'-i- lus ? This is how they defend the error by making another error, it is in fact another trick, by this they attempt to avoid the difficulties which this paragraph creates. The fact that this introduction of Luke's Gospel makes his Gospel no more than a personal letter.) that you MIGHT KNOW THE CERTAINTY of those things wherein you have been instructed. (This paragraph indicates three essential points: * Luke was not an eyewitness to Jesus peace be with him. * He did not claim that he was inspired, but it seemed good idea to him to write his book. * His book was only a message to his friend, not to the world.)
