Considering most of them were healing the sick just as on god TV today and intangibles like "forgiveness" it is hardly surprising people ignored them -- except for the same type of fruitcakes who watch god TV.
Quote:were happening, people still found away to justify their current beliefs. No one really wants proof. They want to be made to believe either by force or to be able to manipulate and benfit from God somehow.
Christ Himself points this out in mt 11. That the places where the greatest miricals took place people were not inclined to believe. (Unless it happened to them. See the story of the man possed by legion, He was run out of that town before anything else could be done)
One would have thought the point is he was preaching a doomsday cult and noted all NT is regarding the end coming real soon. If he did exist it is no surprise the authorities dismissed him as a crank.
The surprise is after failing to return "real soon" the cult managed to continue instead of being ridiculed out of existence.
