Reducing the worlds problems to "y'all mfers need Jesus" negates that the crusades were done in the name of Christ. Jesus was an individual savior, nothing you can do will save your nation or family. Sire I believe all those miracles happened, but there is 0 way to say they objectively happened, so they cannot, by definition, be objective truth. Your "requirements" are works based salvation... Papist go home lol

Glad you didn't take my joke personally! I don't think the events of the bible happening matter. For more on this, I'd have to point you to jordan petersons work, Brett Weinstein talks a bit about it too, but there ie evolutionary benefits to acting as if the bible is true even if it's not. Granted, I DO think it's objectively true, (the gospel anyways) but I don't think that's actually important. It takes away from actual testimony to argue with someone that individual miracles happened. There is no objective evidence, pictures, measurements, etc. I feel like it's better to actually walk away from those conversations than engage and argue them, it's evidence that that person is prideful and thinks the world is 100% material and hasn't had a spiritual event to bring them closer to the Lord. These not happening don't make the bible untrustworthy. For example, genesis isn't describing literal creation, but is allegorical. Doesn't make it less important or applicable or trustworthy.

There is a way to say they happened objectively: direct perception. Unfortunately most of us are still a long ways away from the ability to make that perception. It’s inspiring enough having the perceptions I am already having on the path. PS True faith is that perception only partially conscious.
