I have no empirical knowledge that would cause me to believe the miracles.
I believe them because the word of God presents them.
I have no empirical knowledge that would cause me to know salvation (forgiveness of sin--Lk 1:77).
I know that through God's word and the Holy Spirit bearing witness with my spirit that I am a child of God.
Not many people I know, personally, would agree, though there are scholars I don't know personally who would. And even Adrian Rogers said one thing I don't agree with, that you can't prove God. A statistical analysis anybody can get on the web of fulfilled prophecy proves, beyond any empirical doubt, by accepted, statistical scientific methods, Bible future prophecy is a fact, and impossibly otherwise, this beyond any randomness. Of course, only God could know things hundreds or a thousand or more years that will come to pass, in even the smallest details. The Bible is proven supernatural.
There is also the overwhelming legal case, including accepted historical standards, that if one were to try Jesus Christ for being the Son of God, He would be convicted, worlds beyond any minimal burden of proof: witness accounts, the complete veracity of the witness persons within the framework of their accounts, the events themselves interlaced with incidental events pointing to complete truth things did happen as they did: only the OJ jury would miss it.
On very close and analytical scrutiny, the Bible is supernatural, real evidence of God, enshrined in black, white and red, and therefore the word of that God completely credible.
People choose disbelief, which is a function of blindness, not lack of evidence. Jesus didn't expect everybody to just believe, rather proved to those in His time on earth His power and authority as coming from God. Then there's the testimony of those of us who KNOW God by the Holy Spirit, and how Christianity didn't just vanish off the map, either, like any fake circus show would. Jesus Christ would be a footnote in history, had He not risen from the dead. I think there's a lot of tangible proof.
So, there. I said mah peace in this here matter, and y'alls jus disagrees, per usual. Cain't all us be right, ah reckin'.
