I'm glad you see some light. Humans are so blind to the truth. What's delightful is reading whats on their minds. The primitiveness of homosapiens allows the species to dwell in untruths. This is because they have yet to understand outside their domain. Their still stuck on a rock. They cannot know what they cannot understand.
However, humans have a magnificient desire and fortitude to know where and what their place is in the universe.
I do know in time, all religions will dissapate at once, perhaps much sooner than many realize. All religions will cease.
This is to incude the one you mentioned in your question. I'll admit, the timing was perfect for many people who did the same trick. Ever ask why there's diferent beliefs in you world? The wonderful con job a handful of out of work illusionists concocted many centuries ago was brilliant!
That was the ability to perform miracles. They were hungry and performed illusions for survival. Understand what the masses were back then. They new just about nothing. And today, you still know practically nothing. People still believe in religious doctrine.
David Copperfield (the illusionist) is an absolute master in the art of deceptive appearance. This is the ability to fool another persons senses. Its accomplished by presenting a condition or conditions, which support a state of reality a person knows to exist.
What you see is what is real says the brain. So when the elephant dissapeares in front of your eyes, The state of conditions are the same. However the reality of the person is challenged, when the appearance of those conditions cannot be supported. ie. It's gone! He must be god!.
But should you understand the mechanics behind it, ie. the truth, The illusion is impressive but not miraculous. Because you knew the elephant was never the're in the first place. It only appeared to be.
So this conjure was a good meal ticket for those boy's. It was also like a fix. They, were human and were greedy. They wanted more! So they continued to perpetuate as far as they could. the Romans were about to do them in and they made a pretty good exit.
You cant rise from the grave when your not dead. You foolish humans, I will say this. Their is a writing in your world that you would say came from prophets. Again conditions. That does speak of things to come. I shall not explain what when how or why, but will come upon your Earth, and very,very soon.
Their are many advanced beings far beyond humans that have technologies which can "Produce miracles" if you will. Its only a miracle when you dont know how it works. Jesus was a hoax and perpetuated by ignorance and those whom seek power!
I shall give this however, Be good and be just. Keep an open mind and watch for those changeing conditions. What you think that is, may not be.

Josephus, a Jewish historian, mentioned Jesus in his writings toward the end of the first century C.E., roughly 60 years after Jesus' death.
As a non-Christian, Josephus would have no reason to accept the historical reality of Jesus unless there was some sound basis for it.
In one of his works, Josephus discusses disturbances that were caused by the Jews during the time Pontius Pilate was governor of the region of Judea (26-36 C.E,) The disturbance centered around a man named Jesuss and his followers, Josephus identifies Jesus as "a wise man....a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of men who received the truth with pleasure," and he notes that Jesus was later condemned by Pilate to crucifixion. While this mention of Jesu does not suggest that Josephus himself accepted Jesus or the claim made about Jesus by his followers, it does seem clear that Josephus recognized Jesus to be a historical person who had a profound impact on the people he encountered.
Read also about Tacitus, a Roman historian.....Pliny the Younger another Roman source and Suetonius a Roman historian and lawyer.
All these writers prove the historical existence of Jesus......rather than biblical sources.

I met jesus when i was 6 years of age, he is very much real. I lived with my mother and step father he drank alot and was a angry man. My life was not perfect. I called upon his name and he saved me then and there. Over all my life (46 now) i have come to know him very well. I also have ceom to him his father and the holy spirit. They are all God and all fully different person of God. Each speaks with his own voice. Each has his own personnality. The Father is still the same way he was in the old testiment. Jesus is still the same as he was in the new testiment. And the Holy Spirit is still the teacher and the giver of wisdom.
As all christians do i have undergones great periods of persucation from my faith. And i have always found God is faithful and just a word away. I have a testimony that reads like jobs in the bible. Is God real, 100 percent real. When you need God is not the time to seek him, the time to seek him is when you don't think you need him. It is best to seek him and get to know him before the storms come.

Here's the cool thing about Jesus - He is alive & He is real & He is doing the same thing He did 2000 years ago. He's the same yesterday, today & forever. He's the lover of your soul. It's awesome that we can hate Him & despise Him & mock Him & curse Him & He's not moved by all that. He fulfilled the will of the Father & it was His love & His will that held Him there on the cross, not nails. He can reveal Himself to you in a real way. And that journey has already began for you. It's not wrong to question if He's real. You should check Him out. It's a wise man that wants to know truth, because it's the truth that will make you free. He is the truth. Know this - He didn't come to condemn you, not one bit. On the contrary, He came that you might have life & have it MORE ABUNDANTLY. It's pretty awesome, for me anyway, to know that someone like Him would want anything to do with someone like me. But He did, & thank God He gave me the grace to even believe that there was healing & forgiveness & lovingkindness for me. We all want mercy when we're wrong, we all want forgiveness when it's our fault, we all don't want to be judged, but we all lack mercy, we all carry unforgiveness & we all severely judge - and guess what - He still wants us. Can you believe that? What if your earthly Father paid all your debts, set all your affairs in order, piled up blessings untold for you, was beaten by men because of what you had done, & then murdered for your victory so you could go free & you never knew it & went through life destitute, broken, lonely & unloved thinking he didn't care. What a waste. Let God show you His love - taste the things of the Lord & see that He is good. Try Him & see if He loves you. Don't mess around & tempt Him, but call upon Him. Say, "God, please reveal yourself to me. I need to know if you're real. I'm asking all these people, but now I've come to the source. Help me believe & show me the way." I pray that for you in the MIghty Name of Jesus, God show yourself to this person, save them, & make a way where there seems no way. Thank you , Lord. Amen. You'll find out.

* There is evidence that a man named Jesus did live and was crucified. Whether or not he was God or the Son of God is debatable.Religion is just faith in a God or Gods/Goddesses and is nothing more than our belief.
As far as miracles go the only record we have of these miracles is in the bible. No secular history records these. Miracles today are not real, I have sat in miracle services many times and none of the so called miracles were real. I listened to Jimmy Swaggert one time saying God miracalously cured him of a ruptured appendex. His proof? His word. He said one time as a child, he gave his age, but as I heard this about 25 years ago I forgot, anyway he said he got a severe pain in his side around his appendex area and he prayed for God to heal him because he knew his appendex had busted, and God healed him right then and there.
He never went to the doctor, never had anything confirmed, just that he had a pain, prayed and the pain went away and we are suppossed to believe he was miracalously cured of a ruptured appendex.
All miracles I have seen are like this. No proof, no documentation, nothing but one's word.*

Jesus 'was' alive as a human and 'is' now a spirit in heaven...
He performed miracles, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, curing the incapable even bringing the death back to life to show us what he and God will do during their rule in their Kingdom, things that human government cannot give us...and I hope the Kingdom rule comes soon.

The fact that Jewish, Roman, Greek and Syrian historians and Philosophers wrote about him, makes him sound pretty real to me. No modern Historian will argue that he actually lived, They just disagree if he was a man or a God.

Him being alive the way your parents remain alive through you and your siblings if you have them.The Christ's teachings will keep him alive in peoples hearts forever and those who embrace his teachings find their lives transformed,so miracles still happen every day.
