    It’s called “faith”……….

    Your use of the word "we" is far from being unanimous.

    Or "Corinthian" for that matter. :)

    Didn't you go to Bible school as a kid?

    Nope. You?

    because he's the only one that could raise people from the dead. He raised himself from the dead. He did many other miracles. The bible listed a lot of them, and there were many witnesses who were amazed. The Bible also says that he performed so many other healing miracles, that there were too many to mention.

    Not everyone shares your faith, hasslehoff, but those who do have "faith" that what they read in the Holy Bible is a true account of a real person.  Many will argue to the contrary, and many will give Him credit for existing, but not being the Messiah.
    I have read a couple of books by a guy who was an atheist. His wife became a Christian and he decided to research the Christian faith, traveling all over the world to talk to historians, archaeologists, rabbis and other faith teachers.  His research convinced him, concretely vs. abstractly, that Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior of Mankind.  
    If you are interested, the author is Lee Strobel; The Case for Faith, The Case for Christ, The Case for the Resurrection are a few titles..

    I’m more into dictionaries and other reference sources. Scriptural referencing is counsidered “preaching” which is not allowed here.

    If the question is a valid question seeking knowledge, spiritual referencing would be fine. If it is used against people in a manner that attempts to convert non believers, then it is not allowed. Religious questions have always been allowed as long as they are not used to preach and convert. I think you can tell the difference between a valid question seeking knowledge (can be answered with scripture) and someone just bible thumping and threatening d*mnation if one does not convert.
