Name an NT author who states that [he] met Jesus. Please don't resort to received wisdom.
I & 2 Peter are pseudepigraphs. We have no reason to think their authors ever met Jesus.
The author of Luke and the author of certain parts of Acts may have been the same person. There is no clear evidence that the author was Luke the apostle.
Peter was with Jesus. Peter wrote two of the epistles.
Calling this pseudo-epigraphical just creates a circular
argument for ridiculing the bible.
Luke never met Jesus, he just compiled material from
others, but he gave us the early history of the church,
up until he probably died in Rome with Paul and Peter.
If it wasn't for the slip of the pen we wouldn't know the
connection of Luke with the events in Acts - interesting
that so many bible figures gave no authorship, because
they didn't vaunt themselves.
Fortunately, as letters and the Gospels circulated, the
readers assigned to them the names of the authors.
I get tired of this Wikipedia style 'scholarship' that has
to question everything. Tonight I read how one 'scholar'
even questioned the Moab stele, calling it a Narnia
fantasy - all the stele did was commemorate a battle
over King Omri of Israel. Apparently even an extra-biblical
source, literally set in stone, won't convince people that
some minor king existed that was mentioned in the bible.
