Since the bible bases its arguments on faith alone, can we then say that there is a lie in what its writers have written? For example can we say that the account of Jesus changing water into wine is just a misunderstanding by the writer of the story? Can we say that the writer of the story of Lazarus in the bible misunderstood what happened at the grave and thought that he was dead while it was not the case? The bible accounts of Jesus are the only material that is about miracles that has ever been written by many writers concuring regarding his power and his relationship to a God who is outside the universe. One might say that the disciples fabricated all the stories in the new testament since they were close to Jesus and since they wanted freedom from the Romans (which makes them likely to claim the powers of God that the Roman would fall for) but what about what Isiah writes in the chapter 53 which has been termed the prophecy about Jesus? Was that fabricated too or was that chapter just inseted after Jesus' death just to support the accounts of the New Testament? I would wish to hear thoughts on these questions. Thanks you.
