What does it mean for you to know that the words of the New Testament are based on true eyewitness accounts?

Knowing that the New Testament is based on true accounts means that every word of it is true. It means that Jesus Christ really did exist, really claimed to be God, really died, and really rose again. It brings plausibility to Christianity. So many people agreeing that Jesus' claims are real and that the Gospel stories are true means that Jesus is Lord and he did die for our sins, and believing in him is the way to Heaven. If I didn't think the eyewitness accounts of Jesus were true, I wouldn't be so convinced that any of the new testament was real.

Did God dictate the actual words of Scripture?
No, this could not have been the case. There are too many doublets - somewhat different versions of the same story - and contradictions.As to the gospels, we now know that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were substantially based on the Gospel of Mark, and that the Gospel of John was loosely based on Luke, with some material taken direct from Mark. This could not be the case if God had inspired these writings, or even if they were based on eyewitness accounts.
