So because Jesus did something more miraculous than Lincoln, that gives you reason not to believe that he is real? That's why he is God, he was suppose to do things no man could ever do, so that you would believe he was God. Now you say because he did miracles that's why you don't belive in him or that he existed? ha ha, you're really messed up. I suppose then if he didn't do miracles you would believe in him? lol good one. |
Let me ask you this: Why on Earth would anyone believe that Jesus actually performed these miracles? All we have is a book which was obviously written by one or more people (and not even by Jesus himself), and the writer(s) obviously wanted to carry out a message. So why would we trust anything that is claimed in this book? The writer was the one who claimed that Jesus could perform miracles, not Jesus. You can't trust this source just like you can't trust someone who claims that he saw a ghost.
Like APM said: You would need extraordinary evidence to prove that Jesus could perform miracles. And at this point believing that Jesus can perform miracles is, in my opinion, not too different from believing that Harry Potter is performing magic at Hogwarts as we speak. Or at least the evidence perfectly equal.
Don't get me wrong though: Jesus did, according to the book, carry out an extremely valuable message which I wish more people would follow (namely that you should be a better example rather than fighting fire with fire), and I salute anyone, including my religious family, who lives by that message.
