This is the nineteenth question of DOOM!!!
19. Do youthink that it is possible that all of Jesus's miracles were fabricatins, axaggerations, or metaphoric representations treated like literal fact by people that hoped to raise the bar so high noone else would ever possibly be able to meet it?
If this is the case, then from that point forth, anyone claiming to be a Child, Messenger, or Servant of GOD (particularly this messiah spoken of in the Old Testament) would have to do feats of equal or better fanciness in order to win our trust. They say Jesus was perfect (but they never took the time to set the parameters for this perfection), which means anyone claiming to be this messiah would also have to be perfect.
It's actually quite easy to claim to be the Messiah. All you have to do is be smart, help people, condemn evil, and be carismatic. Do you think it is possible that these things were fabricated to keep people from trying to claim to be the Messiah?

The Romans would have done it to quell a possible Jew uprising.
The Jews would have done to quell a possible Renegade uprising.
The Apostles would have done it because the Jesus campaign was their bread and butter.
The average modern Christian would do it because THEY want to be the ones that are right and heavenbound....
Do you at least aknowledge a possibility??
