To all those who asked this question, you would think one person asking would be enough but I guess your insecurity overwhelms you at times.
Now the answer, if you had cared to read instead of copying other posts only one would have had to ask.
Luke 1: 1-4 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of things that have been accomplished among us, just as those from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.
Luke tells us that he learned from those who were there from the beginning and Mary was certainly there at the beginning. For people who claim to be logical you all sure have a hard time proving it, it is logical Luke asked those in the life of Jesus what happened and only Mary could have told him of the earliest years.
No, actually it doesn't say that. It says that because others had done so, it inspired him to write down the conclusions of his investigations. So it neither says that he interviewed people who were there from the very beginning, nor does it follow that, even if he had, that Mary was necessarily among those he interviewed. You're simply reading your own prejudices into Luke's account. If this is the sort of incompetent reading that passes for "study" in your mind, then you have no reason to boast that you know this or that from reading the bible, because obviously you don't.
