also if someone lost hteir head, and someone restored it with just a word, and you or I witnessed it, I’d say it would be pretty strong reason to beleive

Depends on what you mean by witness.

Personally I'm more impressed by the precepts to love your neighbor and your enemy than I am by miracles. The precepts sound genuinely inspired. The miracles cannot reliably be distinguished from conjuring tricks.

[[The miracles cannot reliably be distinguished from conjuring tricks.]]

Sure they can. There were people who were blind from birth whom Christ restored sight to- He restored a great many people’s sight- these are not ‘conjuring tricks’. He also fullfilled prohpesy- over 66 very specific prohpesies- that was pretty good validifying evidnece that He was genuine- He was asked to perform miracles on the spot- No preperation time, and He did so as asked- These were not staged events- IF He would have sent out fliers askign us to come to His show, and performed these things on stage- Heck yeah I’d be skeptical, and rightly so- however, this was not the case- You don’t restore someone’s head so that they live, nor do you restore a rotting body to life, on hte spot, simply by ‘conjuring tricks’

anyways, if you have time, just read through that link above- it really is quite interesting if you liek that sort of reasoning thinking.
