How did the Bible authors know, and remember, exactly how many people witnessed Jesus doing things? Did they sell tickets?

The Bible words are written with the help of Holy Spirit and not just man.That is why it is the Word of God. God remembers and knows everything.

Bible is different from any other book. When true believers read the Bible, the Holy Spirit speaks to them through those unchanging Words.

Extraordinary things are hard to forget and as far as knowing the number, God knows, Christ could know, they're omnipotent

The stories in the Bible were put into writing 100s of years after the fact. They were tales handed down from father to son for generations. If you have ever played the game 'telephone' you have a very good grasp of how things go when the information is passed from person to person. Something as simple as the word "banana" can change to "your mom wears combat boots" after its been whispered across a chain of 10 to 15 kids.

No, but the only one selling something is you. So buyer beware, you're buying from a fool who probably doesn't have their own life together!

Like most places, they counted.

Years later, holy spirit enabled them to remember all they saw. They wrote it down then. Finally having time to do so.

The 120 in the upper room. The 3,000 Peter taught to convert from Judaism. Within a few days 5,000 more. Holy spirit anointing them all.

In every arena, every gathering, even today, there is always a head count. If for nothing else today, the Fire Marshall needs to know.

How did your mom know and remember exactly how many people gangbanged her when she was knocked out on ketamine. Did she sell tickets. Let me look for my ticket stub so we can try to find out who your "real" daddy is troll boy

@PYTHA.....yep it's streaming now on porn hub. She didn't have any @ss or titties but she looked like she could suck and swallow like a pro.

It's likely that terms such as "five thousand" and "forty days and nights" are literal translations of figurative idioms meaning "too many to count". For example when we say "I've told you a million times. " we don't literally mean that they've been told on 1,000,000 separate occasions.

It's just a story.

Like all stories, the author(s) made up all the details to make it sound convincing.

they could count?

its not that hard......and the situations were quite memorable

the 5000 they had sit in groups of 50, 100 groups

And then each writer did so under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.....who has a perfect memory

"those backwood bronze aged sheepherders" could speak and write 3 languages,....how many can you?

Do not mistake the technology that surrounds you as your own intelligence

they did more with less, then you will ever do
