[quote]OK, so you're demanding a document--from a non-Christian--putting down, line-by-line, that Jesus did this and that miracle. I'm sorry, but few people in 30AD, and even fewer among the type of person who followed Jesus, were drawing up documents that would meet the standards of today's courts. Or maybe you want a holy book that claims to be God's exact words dictated to a prophet - but the authenticity of that, too, can be challenged.

I and millions of others find the gospels, which represent a collection of witnesses, worthy of trust.

If this isn't fine with you, then to each his own.[/quote]

Again, the miracles would be enough to create interest and there would be multiple stories around raising Lazarus, for example.  Interestingly enough, it's only told in John - 11:1-44.  Where are the ". . . collection of witnesses, worth of trust?"

I can find multiple primary accounts of Greek theatre, but must rely on the gospels (mainly Mark) for information on Jesus.  same issues, too - illiterate masses relying on didactic plays and oral tradition

It's all about BLIND faith.[/quote]
