The New Testament is a collection of fairy tales that have been regurgitated over time. I would be curious to know what the first texts said before translations, censure, erasure, changes, additions and politicization all for the greater good of the faithful. Jesus probably existed but how he is represented in the NT is a fabrication. The miracles were added because superstitious minds need miracles to make them fervent in their beliefs.
