This post asserts that labeling the Apostles as “eyewitnesses” to Jesus’ events is problematic due to the extensive communication chain that distorts their original observations. While the Apostles may have shared firsthand accounts in 33 CE, centuries of oral transmission, Gospel composition, and manuscript copying introduce significant distortion. By 2025, their testimony has been so mediated that it fails to retain the original eyewitness integrity, revealing the absurdity of claiming unmediated truth from such a long historical relay.
