Not that you believe, but let's just say that you lived and witness Jesus as He is described in Scripture. Out of curiosity, you listened to Him speak, you saw him heal, you witnessed the miracles, etc. How would you of reacted?

Well if I lived in that day I'd probably get down on my knees and pray, as I'd undoubtedly not be educated enough to question what I'm witnessing. Luckily I live in the modern world where we can assess these sorts of claims scientifically. Even if I'd of viewed Jesus do the things the bible reckons, I'd still have to be skeptical. I've seen David Blaine put a giant needle through his arm. Just because I didn't know how he did it at the time doesn't make him the son of any god. The same with Jesus. Why does he have to perform these so called 'miracles' to convince people. Why doesn't god just whisper in everyone's head simultaneously and say, "I'm here douchebags".

Well if I see a guy fucking walking on water and instahealing people of course I'm gonna worship him, especially in Roman Judea. What an obvious, stupid, question.

Of course the problem is that no one living in Judaea at that time...Greek, Jew or Roman... noted any such thing.

Xtians make lots of excuses for that.....

None are very convincing.

Prophesies in the Old Testament foretold of what Messiah would do and Jesus indeed fulfilled them. He is God so if He chose to perform miracles who are we to question it. David Blaine is yet to raise anyone from the dead let alone himself when he dies.

A 4th century xtian forgery.

In fact, the very fact that later xtian propagandists felt the need to create such forgeries should demonstrate that actual reports did not exist.

An irreverent but clever reply.
