Why Yahweh? (Or Allah, or Zeus, etc.)

Which prompted me to find this:http://www.answering-christianity.com/je...racles.htm. What makes Jesus so special, then?

First, my malware software said this site was unsafe, so I didn't see it.

Second, I generally don't respond to "arguments" which are just a link. I expect you to quote or summarize the relevant material. (Youtubes are straight ouot of the question!)

It basically said that because people like Moses were given the power to perform miracles in the name of god, then Jesus's miracles do not prove his divinity any more than the parting of the red sea proves Moses's. Jesus was not the only person to be raised from the dead on the day of his ressurection, so this too does not show that he is divine.


This is the conclusion to the linked article.

So what are the Miracles of Islam and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him? As we've seen above, many of Allah Almighty's Messengers performed miracles to prove to their people that they were Truthful and were indeed sent by Allah Almighty. But however, these wonderful Miracles died when their Prophets' died. They are not useful for us today.

The Miracle of Islam, however, lives until today. It is in the Noble Quran. The Noble Quran is Islam's Miracle, and it is the True Revelation of GOD Almighty. The Noble Quran is not just made up of stories and narrations as the Bible is. There is no Miracle in that. The True Miracle of the Noble Quran is it's Truth about instructing the Muslims to worship non but Allah Almighty: the True Living GOD Almighty, and to associate no partners with Him

I'm not saying that they are making a good case for miracles actually occuring; I'm just saying that Christianity isn't necessarily making a better one.

Allaah The Almighty supported His Prophets with miracles, which are extraordinary events that are usually of the same nature that the people of that particular prophet excelled at. For instance, the people of Prophet Moosa excelled at magic, so the miracle of Prophet Moosa was that he threw his staff and it turned to a serpent. Likewise, the people of Prophet ‘Eesa excelled at medicine, so Prophet ‘Eesa cured the blind and the leper, and gave life to the dead by the permission of Allaah The Almighty. The Arabs excelled at poetry and rhetoric and therefore Allaah The Almighty sent them the Quran and it was a miracle that they were not even able to compose one Soorah (Chapter) like it.

Here, the miracles of pre-Muhammad prophets are briefly explained.
