John V Wrote:Where? They agree that extraordinary miracles of healing are attributed to Jesus. They state that the greatest miracle of Muhammed is the writing of the Quran. They then list supposed miracles of Muhammed. These miracles are not found in the Quran. In the Quran, Muhammed expressly states that the doesn't have miraculous powers. These miracles came about in later tradition, which is what we would expect of a legend growing up around true but mundane events. Critics of Christianity recognize this principle and speculate that there must have been non-miraculous texts on which the gospels were built, but no such texts have been found.
You're probably aware that the Gospels are evidence of a story being exaggerated. Jesus is not god in the Synoptics but then in John, the last Gospel written, all of a sudden he is "one with the Father". How do the Synoptics miss out on such a fundamental detail that is the basis of Christianity?
