Well then I will ask again.
What did Jesus do that was any different than what shamans, sorcerers, witches, and other mystics do? Why are Jesus' mystical abilities viewed as greater than anyone else?
People always point to Jesus' miracles and mystical abilities as proof he was God. Yet other people have done these same things many times.

None of them took on the sins of the world, none of them rose from the grave. It's not the miracles that the prove He was God. |

Lots of people have took on the sins of the world just like Jesus.
Lots of people have supposedly rose from the grave, there are many stories like this.
And like I said before. Lots of people have done miracles.
Jesus did not do anything unique. Except gain greater popularity and mainstream acceptance. And we could debate on how that happened to..... |

First time I'm hearing this statement  . Who says you don't learn anything new? Okay, so others have supposedly claimed to have taken on all the sin of mankind, from the beginning of time to the present and into the future ... every and any and all sin from all eternity? Alrighty then ....

Supposedly ... stories ... yes, I am familiar with this claim by others. However, Jesus actually did. Jesus' tomb is empty

Claimed to have performed miracles. Even Pharoh's sorcerers attempted to match their "skills" against the power of God through Moses, and were beaten. Many claim to do this, and it's poosible they have, but if it's not in Jesus' name, its from Satan and not God and those pretenders will be the ones cast away after Jesus tells them He knows them not.

Nothing unique? Okay, except he did fulfill 300 prophesies found in the OT regarding his birth, life, death and resurrection. None of the other wannabes/pretenders have done this.

These kinds of assertions reveal a significant superficiality in knowledge of these parallel myths and progenitors. Anyone who had done a thorough investigation and culling of these stories and their evolution of cognitive sophistication should have been inevitably led to Jesus as the final and only legitimate one. There are none so blind. |

He healed people, did miracles and rose from the dead. |
