I mean, if you're honest about it, looking at these stacks of bricks, imagine the bottom layer is the Apostolic Age, the days of the Apostles. I think we would assume that people who lived and knew the Apostles understood what they said better than we would 2,000 years later. And what about the next generation? Maybe not as well, but I mean, they got it firsthand from either the Apostles or people who were taught by the Apostles.
But see, the prevailing view is that the further you get, you know, picture each of those bricks being a century. Oh, we understand that better than the people who lived back then. They were mixed up. They didn't quite see things. I mean, does that make any sense? I mean, to me, that's just insanity. It's crazy. I mean, you wouldn't do that with secular literature.
You wouldn't say, well, yeah, the Roman pagan writings from the year 50 AD, well, we understand those better than the people who lived back there in the days of ancient Rome.
