The rational and scientific interpretation for the "miracles" that Jesus is due to its moral and intellectual evolution has profound knowledge of the natural laws governing the universe.
We can claim to know very well manipulate the energy of nature and the human magnetism.
a great example is the passage of the bleeding woman.

Currently the science already proves the efficiency of the magnetic pass on healing the physical body. (do not forget that we must have proper deserving to receive)

..not sure what this means...are you saying that magnets have the power to heal ?

Your response is a bit confusing, but I think you are trying to say that Jesus harnessed a sort of natural power(that I guess any of us mortals can harness somehow) to heal people and raise people from the dead.

Are you linking Jesus's moral perfection to His "natural" power? Are you saying that the greater a person's morals, the greater "natural" power they have to possibly heal/resurrect people?

No, he's saying Jesus was actually a whacking-great walking MRI scanner.

Direct contradictions are not 'my perception'. They are logical inconsistencies in accounts.

The OP is a very small portion of how many there actually are as well.

The thing is - we know some of the bible is made up bullshit. We know it. At least the gospel of Peter and a couple of others I can't recollect at this moment are proven forgeries. According to some scholars (Ehrman among them - I seem to recall you bringing him up once) almost half the gospels are forgeries.

I don't need to prove there are lies in the bible. It's already known. The question is - how can you trust any of it if we know some of it to be untrue?

I already pointed out previously how they aren't necessarily "direct contradictions." Can you not read?

That last bit may actually apply to you more than him. Just look at the pdf table in the OP. There are contradictions in the Bible.

Actually, nevermind. Critically thinking and logically interpreting a text are different than just being able to read it. You obviously can read.
