Well you know the bible well don't you.
Why not read the new testament then you would not ask such uninformed questions.
Why do people make comments on people being dumb when they don't even know what there talking about ?

If Jesus did something like that in front of everyone, than we wouldn't have people like yourself to contend with today, and the world just wouldn't be fun anymore.
Consider this:
Christians believe that Jesus is God the Son, incarnate in human flesh, firstly because His life on earth as a man, plus all the circumstances of His human existence, were prophesied time and again in Divine Revelation (Holy Scripture and Tradition), and Jesus fulfilled that prophecy right to the letter.
Secondly, because He claimed that He was God (John 10:30, 14:9-10 and numerous other passages), and He never deceived anyone.
Thirdly, because He proved His divinity by His impeccable holiness and the flawless perfection of His doctrine.
Fourthly, because only God could have performed the miracles He performed, miracles such as walking on the sea, feeding five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, and, after His death on the Cross, resurrecting Himself from His own tomb.
Fifthly, because only God could have, in the brief space of three years, without military conquest, without political power, without writing a single line or traveling more than a few score miles, so profoundly affected the course of human events.
Sixthly, because only God can instill in the soul of man the grace and the peace and the assurance of eternal salvation that Jesus instills.

You call christians dumb to believe such a thing. Why don't you inform yourself before you ask such dumb questions?

He did perform "that miracle" in front of many people. In fact, at the very hour that he died, there was a huge earthquake, and the whole sky became pitch black even though it was 3pm. Also, the curtain in the Temple tore in two. Many people, including Roman guards, Pharisees, and onlookers saw what happened. Also, he appeared to thousands AFTER He had resurrected.
Read your bible and you'll see that what you're saying is not valid.

What do you mean? He was seen by more than 500 eye-witnesses after rising from the dead.
The ordinary way historians judge whether a given event of antiquity actually occured is by the number of first hand ("I saw...."), second hand ("My kid sister saw....."), and third hand ("My Aunt Polly has a friend who saw.....") reports. There are more first hand, more second hand, and more third hand reports of the Resurrection of Jesus, than for ANY other event of the ancient world.
Now you can reject the idea of the Resurrection out of hand, of course, but to be intellectually consistent, you must also reject EVERY OTHER FACT WE KNOW OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.
Why are unbelievers so dumb to believe such crap????

most of the various religious saviors have been depicted in this fashion however Buddha when asked to merely to levitate said he would but it would only be a trick . So much for the honesty of integrity some 500years prior to Jesus.
if you can tell me why in simple terms maybe we can attack the problem of curing the criminal mind next.

Mark 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
Corinthians I 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
Corinthians I 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
512 min. saw the risen Saviour - Take that to court 512 eyewitnesses
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
John 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

I believe that Jesus was born for Christ but the autobiography of God is the novel with have to offer more wonderful than other and it is acceptable like other God's.
What is your religion?
Is your religion better than Christianity?
Or you are atheist? yes, I see.

He raised many people in front of many people and even the priests. They did not believe Him even. It depends upon the thirst for knowing God, the creator. God is truth, knowledge, and love. If you search God you are searching these things. Those who search will find Him(them).

So the empty tomb and him making repeated appearances to his followers over the next 40 days wasn't good enough? They actually needed to see him rise from the dead. Do you not think that seeing him alive multiple times was not good enough to convince them that he was alive?
