If it happened all the time, what would make it miraculous? Over 500 people saw the risen Christ. People also witnessed Lazarus being risen from the dead by Jesus. Obviously, it didn't happen yesterday. But then the religious world was turned on its ear. The Egyptian, Greek, and Roman gods all faded in the light of CHRIST. No one is sacrificing babies to idols (at least not to the extent it once was common practice). People who don't accept CHRIST have even been influenced in ways they don't even realize...Correct. Which is why it has never happened. You may have a need and desire to believe that Jesus returned from the dead from that tale requires a precommitment to belief in the supernatural and a willingness to accept some pretty outrageous leaps of faith.I know of no one who could bring a person back to life after 3 days dead.I once knew a gypsy woman in Romania who could the same. Golly! Maybe she's god!Blind faith isn't Christianity. The fact that JESUS arose from the dead and was seen by many individuals is substantiated factual historic reality. Christian faith is when one places his trust in GOD's hands and is rewarded by results. The results in turn causes faith to grow.
