It is.

Especially since divegeester can't follow through.

It’s led to nothing but yawns and questions no one’s read or wants to expend the effort to answer. This thread was a mistake and I think everyone knows it. Let’s not pretend it was interesting or worthwhile.

I suggest you start a thread you think is good. You declaring that you don't find this one interesting isn't a very interesting contribution.

Your belief that these events actually happened - as written down by Hebrews decades, centuries and even millenia after they supposedly took place - is entirely within the realm of your personal subjectivity.

The miracles were written down in the Gospels within several decades of their occurrence, and Jesus Christ’s Resurrection was recorded by the Apostle Paul in one of his epistles earlier than that.

People back then didn’t have a printing press so communication was mostly through speech. And the apostles obviously had other things to do after Christ’s Resurrection, such as establishing churches and preaching the Good News.

Where in the world did you ever get the idea the miracles of Jesus Christ were recorded in the Gospels centuries and millennia after their occurrence?

The post you are replying to is referring to events depicted in the Torah/ Old Testament.

Such as the ones found in all religions throughout all of human history. If you are not aware of miracles other than those that form part of the Abrahamic religions, that's fine by me, but it's not something I personally am going to enlighten you about.

Feel free to start a thread or threads that have interesting OPs.

The OP is designed for interested persons to comment of the two types of biblical interpretation. You are welcome to comment on it if there is something you have to say.
