2. Miracles confirm truthfulness??
Even the Bible says that Satan and his disciples can perform miracles.
Therefore even if a miracle can be proven to have occurred, we would still not know to whom we should credit the miracle's success.
Based on this logic, all the miracles performed by Jesus could have been due to a trick of Satan.
Unless Yahweh is the only Being with the power of performing miracles, the existence of miracles is not proof of the divinity of Jesus only of the existence of one, two, or many supernatural power(s) with the ability to perform supernatural acts.
Therefore the authors of the Gospels and Paul could well have been bald-face liars or completely mad and their ability to perform miracles would prove nothing other than the existence of miracles.
You stated: "No - for all that it contains errors, and for all that it contains man-made content, it also contains God-inspired scripture."If you agree that the Bible contains errors, then how do you know which passages, or even which words of passages, are God inspired and which are errors of men?
