Key phrase there, DEMONSTRABLE. That means He does something for those who say, "Do a trick". What you fail to understand is that Jesus did signs and miracles at the Father's command, not at the demands of the crowds.Bro, youre trying to convince me that those superstitious people tortured and whipped, then executed a man who had REAL demonstratable magic, who says he is the son of god,
Let's put it this way, one of the most well documented atrocities of the modern era was the Holocaust, complete with first hand testimony, photos, artifacts and movie footage, yet we see many today denying the whole thing happened. The ability of people to deny evidence is amazing. Anyone performing miracles today would be accused of faking it, no matter how convincing he was.AND he has fuck-tons of true believers already following him? Who WOULDNT be convinced by real magic? Even modern day atheists would be convinced that a guy is the son of god if he had real magic, let alone those ultra religious people back in the day.
