What 100% proof that Jesus was a miracle maker.?

Question

I'm not slating anyone, but, can anyone tell me what solid evidence there is for Jesus's miracles. What exact evidence is there for anything he did. Please,please please accept my appologise before hand i mean not to offend anyone, but I'm just puzzled.

Answer 1

There is Cana, where he turned the water in wine.

There is the miracle of the fishes and loaves

There is the walking on water

There is the bringing of Lazarus back from the dead,

There is the cleansing of the lepers.

Now, this comes from the Bible, so if you are looking for rock-solid evidence and not something that was written down by a person after the fact, then we're both caught in a dilemma.

Answer 2

You won't find any. As you can already see, the true believers don't require proof, but instead are satisfied with the fact that there are Bible stories making the claim. I don't think that anyone has really ever gone beyond that.

You're really asking a quite good question here, though. What if Jesus really had performed miracles. How would we know about it? To be honest, I have no idea.

To flip the question around, though, ask yourself why people would believe that Jesus had performed miracles in the first place? An excellent resource is the explanations of the more recent "Indian Rope Trick" (sources). Most importantly, read the part in the Wikipedia article about Penn and Teller's replication of the trick. It explains a lot.

Oh, and my hat off to those who responded "there is no proof, just faith". That's a good, honest answer, reflecting far better on Christianity than the "It's proven because it's in the Bible" answers.

Answer 3

Contemporary historical records support the stoires told in the Gospels. The oldest located versions of these records are dated in the same century as the events, so are more reliable than a lot of the accepted historical facts about the Roman Emporers.

If you want evidence beyond all doubt then you will be disappointed - 2,000 years is a long time. That is where faith comes in. It is not blind faith, though, it is based on historical evidence and supported by contemporary personal experience. Many people have challenged God to be relevant to their own experience and have been surprised.

When I was much younger, I got a book out of the library - "Who Moved the Stone" by Frank Morrison. Morrison was a journalist who sat down to write a book to prove that Jesus did not rise from the dead once and for all. As he researched the book he found all the evidence pointed to the opposite of what he believed. He found his faith and wrote the book using the same evidence but coming to the opposite conclusion to the one he originally expected.

If you are really interested (in just one of many miracles), then read the book and make up your own mind. I did.

Answer 4

Sorry, but this long after the event, there isn't any definitive proof left, that is why Christian's have faith in their fairy tales. There isn't any definitive proof that the biblical Jesus even existed as a single example of a human. We only have a bunch of stories written many years after the fact by people with an agenda, and then further translated and transleted again, by more people with agendas.. There is no definitive proof that anything written in the gospels is still accurate. Nothing that could stand up to modern forensic cross examination in court at least. There is some evidence, but no definitive proof.

Answer 5

Personally, I think he was a magician, he was an ancient David Blain and what he did were just tricks. Walking on water etc, DV can do that, and cure people's "diseases" the only "proof" is in the bible and that cannot be prooved right or wrong... so never EVER 100% when it has to do with christianity

christianity was made to control people, i know it seems really harsh, and I don't mean to offend anybody, but it was created years ago just to make people believe that if they murdered they would go to hell, like unwritten laws, and I guess the idea behind it was a good one, the idea of no anarchy and living in harmony, but it will never be that way...

Answer 6

I say there isn't any for miracle making but in the Bible it states he turned water to wine (he added grapes and then fermented it) He divided a loaf of bread between hundreds (he had big bread) He could make anything from wood (he was a good carpenter) every miracle can be logicaly explained. I believed what he done was either not understood or was just briefly recorded to make it seem as if it was magic but we have interpreted it incorrectly. This is just my opinion as I am not a relihious person...

Answer 7

Friend, we trust those are taught in the theology schools as they totally based on religious values. We take it granted all those are qualified and enroll as priests preach the facts/truth.

Our nature is we understand some and smoe not at all. But we can't ask any further question to solve out doubts in theology because none of them are explained celarly. It is said this is your religious duty, you have to perform these duties with utmost care& pious and you will get these results!

If you go further a step you will be called and warned by the priest for asking questions that looks as if you are ignorant!

Answer 8

I am not dead or in state prison.. Jesus is a Mirical worker.. I have seen his hand in so many parts of my life. I am no bible wacker by any means.. But I do beleive. I cast no stones, or judge not a single soul. I can't follow any religion which tells others what to think or how to act.. But me and Jesus, we get along just fine and the more I get to know Him the more I can see how he works. His miricals are countless and if you look into your own life I am sure you will see a few of your own.. God Bless my friend..

Answer 9

The only evidence for Jesus doing miracles is the Bible. So, sorry, you won't be finding any solid evidence.

Answer 10

There is no proof that he even existed let alone he was a miracle maker. The bible is a guide and if you be leave in what it says then your free to do so. But it certainly isn't fact personaly i do beleave he existed but certainly not a miricle worker but somebody highly enlightend. No offence but it's my opinion which if jesus says im entitled to.
