Why not? The events surrounding Jesus' life and teaching are the most attested to in ancient history (if you don't think so, name another). Why would't I believe the content of the NT? Do you have information as to why it would not contain what really happened? Why should I doubt the authors that describe Jesus performing a miracle?
No, they're not. Nothing about Jesus comes from outside the bible. Does repetition count?
Amazing. So you're default position is to believe everything you read until proven otherwise?
