I am actually a continualist to a pretty hard core extent. I believe miracles, including healing and resurrections can, and still happen today.
Some religious people in my family even think I'm the 'crazy Pentecostal'. It is what it is lol. I don't expect everyone to agree, but it does help me take pretty much all of Jesus' miracles at face value, because I don't think such things were limited to that time period only.
But I don't want to derail the thread too much. None of that stuff has anything to do with scrutinizing and the scientific method or historical studies.
The history, and the documents that we do have, are very interesting to me. Which is why I ask the questions. And I also want to make sure that I am always being respectful of your views.
