(March 16, 2011 at 10:22 am)Godschild Wrote: Yes Jesus did preach in these places and His popularity did spread to close by places but His travel never carried Him far from Judea.

His fame allegedly spread far and wide, however much or little Jesus is said to have traveled.

Quote:Matthew 4:24-25 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people... And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

Not exactly supportive of "he was just another doomcrier of the time that few paid any attention to".

Want more:

- A rich man seeks out Jesus to ask what must be done to be saved, inspiring the camel and the eye of a needle quote. Mark 10:17
- Jesus resurrects Lazarus, apparently a noteworthy man who's resurrection should have gotten attention. John 11
- Jesus is treated to a banquet and a massage by apparently a wealthy man. Matt 26:6
- A centurion seeks out Jesus to heal his servant. Matt 8:5
- Herod Antipas talked about Jesus, wondering if he was John the Baptist resurrected. Matt 14
- As Matt 4:23-24 stated, people came from all over nearby provinces to be healed by Jesus, including the story of one woman wealthy enough to seek other physicians and finally came to Jesus to touch his cloak and be healed. Mark 5:25
- And of course the triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

Quote:Why is it that none of the others that claimed to heal and be the messiah were not written about by their followers and the included in the Bible.

Because they also never existed or their miracles were bogus.
