Quote:If I were a Jew living at that time and witnessed what Jesus was doing I could not justify not believing who He said He was.
With each miracle, the probability of it all happening via some naturalisitc explanation diminishes. Assuming the accounts are true it is more probable that the explanation for these occurrances is that Christ was actually who He said He was.
Wanting evidence for claims of divinity is not wrong. It is right. But denying what is obvious is a matter of the will.
So, all it takes for you to believe a claim of divinity is to see someone appear to do something you personally lack the intelligence or education to understand?
The answer, of course, is 'no'. Your threshold of credulity isn't even that high. You're willing to accept those claims based on extremely sketchy second-hand claims that such things happened thousands of years ago and were recorded nowhere except in a single series of sources of, to say the very least, dubious authenticity.
Ironic how the preponderance of 'miracles' has an inverse relationship with the advancement of communications, observation and recording, isn't it?
Quote:As I have stated, Christ and David Copperfield have very little in common.
Absolutely. David Copperfield is a real person.
