<<If they saw miracles, and reported them then their veracity is "questionable"... makes one wonder how they could ever report a miracle without losing their credibility. Looks to me like just another example of sneaking the conclusion of an argument into its premise.>>

I would be a little more inclined to believe if those who were not followers had written of the miracles in other texts. I hate to get back to investments, but if you read the threads on some penny stocks you'd come away with the impression that they were working miracles. I have a lot more confidence if I can read about it on EDGAR. One seeks independent corroboration before investing, or worshipping.

I've read on a number of occasions that during the first thousand years of Christian history, when manuscripts were copied laboriously by hand, a substantial amount of editing of these manuscripts took place, for personal and ideological reasons (never discounting the probability of simple errors). Could some divergent accounts have developed in that way?
