The Gospels contain claims that Jesus:
• Walked on water.
• Turned water into wine.
• Raised people from the dead.
• Miraculously healed illnesses.
• Was physically resurrected after his death.

Yes, under standard historical criteria the Sai Baba devotee reports carry the same weight as the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles. Both reliably document what their respective faith communities claimed and believed; neither uniquely verifies the supernatural events outside those circles. Parallel miracle traditions across religions further limit the force of pure insider testimony in either case.
Yes. The same criteria apply equally to Sai Baba reports. Early, multiply attested devotee accounts establish what those communities claimed soon after the events. They do not grant the supernatural content special credibility. Parallel miracle claims across many traditions, plus the limits of pure insider testimony, leave them without unique force outside their own circles.
It is 100% IMPOSSIBLE for anybody to claim they KNOW Jesus is God!"
It is 100% IMPOSSIBLE for any Christian to KNOW that ANY of Christianity's FOUNDATIONAL CLAIMS are, IN FACT, true.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO *KNOW*:
1. A Creator God exists.
2. A Supernatural exists.
3. An afterlife, in fact, does exist.
4. That the Bible IS, IN FACT, the "Word of God" as claimed.
ALL of the rest is entirely dependent on those four FOUNDATIONAL CLAIMS being true and there is no way possible to demonstrate they are true and therefore IMPOSSIBLE to KNOW they are true either.
The CLAIM that "Jesus is God!" is entirely dependent upon the most foundational claims that precede it. Until the foundational claims are demonstrated to be true "Jesus is God!" is nothing more than a baseless assertion.
The Abrahamic religions all absolutely reek of human invention and very, very, very reasonable doubt.
God, the supposed Creator of the Universe ... walked around camps? Complained about possibly stepping in shit and whose "Inspired" "Omniscient" instruction was bring a stick, dig a hole, shit in the hole and cover it up?!!!
Talk about having mind-blowingly LOW EXPECTATIONS for what the INTELLECT of the Creator of the Universe would necessarily need to be!
The supposed Creator of the Universe believes witches exist and they should be murdered?!!!
How stupid-on-purpose must one need to be to believe THAT?!!!

God also massacres women and children. God permits slavery. God tortures people for eternity.
You don't get to cherry pick only the parts of your fictional character that you like.
"God did it!" has ZERO explanatory power!
HOW?! HOW did God do it?! By what mechanism? In what way? By what process?
If you don't know ***HOW*** God did it, how can you possibly know ... THAT .... God did it?!
Blah ......Blah ....... Blah ...... Blaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.......
Meanwhile not a shred of VALID evidence Christianity is true.
STILL waiting!
INARGUABLE FACT: Every Christian can say "I ... BELIEVE ... that Christianity is true.", but not one Christian can claim to ... KNOW ... that Christianity is, IN FACT, true.
That's because there is NO WAY POSSIBLE to PROVE any of Christianity's FOUNDATIONAL CLAIMS are true.
No Christian can possibly ... KNOW ... that a supernatural, in fact, exists, that an afterlife, IN FACT, exists, that the Bible is, IN FACT, the "Word of God" as claimed.
You can believe those things are true all you want or need to, but the fact of the matter is, you don't and cannot KNOW they are true.
And so the question is: IF Jesus is real, could he have possibly built Christianity upon a WEAKER and LESS CREDIBLE foundation?"
