You know making the dead live again, making someone see, walk, etc, etc....

Are his miracles fact or how do we know he made these things happen?

I dont know, but, i'm very open minded.

Not even all scriptures portrayed Jesus as magic or the son of God. What ended up in the bible was all cherry picked.

Yeah, it was heavily edited. Like all "bibles".
I take them wigh a grain of salt.
You have to cross reference with other sources of information, not consider these books THE sources of information.

Nope, experience is much more fun

Surtur
Well yeah dude and if the cherry has just been popped it means you need to help her get that tons of experience that will make her fun. You are doing your civic duty.

What do people have to gain by spreading false testimonies of miracles? Like, it's not like Christianity is looked at all that favorably in today's world (or even back in Biblical days), in fact it often lead/leads to persecution and in some cases death, estrangement from loved ones, exile etc.

What they have to gain is attention. Perhaps in the past it could lead to persecution, but that's not necessarily the case these days.

Also some people might not necessarily be attention seekers, but they are pathological liars and just can't help themselves. Those people tend to find themselves having to spin bigger and bigger lies as time goes on.

Well, raising the dead is a big thing. So why didn't anybody, other then the bible, record this event? Don't you think the Romans would have made a big deal over this? But they didn't record any of these events.

I think they didn't record the miracles, because they didn't happen. They were added to the story of Jesus hundreds of years later.

I guess there no real way to KNOW but if the disciples were being killed in horrible ways you'd think that they would come clean about it being fake

That's true, unless the miracles where added later.

Sure anything is possible. Is there any evidence they were?

It is the lack of evidence for the miracles of Jesus that is the most telling.

Also the parallels between Jesus and Mithra, is very interesting.

Yup. Along with Dionysus, Horus, Attis, Krishna, etc. Born of a virgin on Dec. 25th, "Son" of god, resurrected, etc. Jesus is not unique...

We have as much evidence for Jesus performing miracles as we do for Superman performing them. Which is: none.

Both are fictional. Jesus may have been based on a real person, but the Jesus in the bible is pure fiction. Just like his daddy is.

We don't have any proof. That's why it's called "faith."

TethAdamTheRock
Faith

Adam_PoE
Faith is why one believes Jesus performed miracles. It is not how one knows anything, because faith does not lead to knowledge.

I agree. But it does lead to belief - which is SUPPOSED to be the underlying staple of religion.

Why Won't God Heal Amputees?

JesusLovesYou
You ASSUME that God hasn't ALREADY healed amputees.
