Yet these two disparate belief systems point to the same Jewish Bible as a fundamental element of their respective faiths.

It is obvious that only one of these belief sy

When God said: "Let us make man in our image ?

God said: "Let us make man in our image . . ." (Genesis 1:26) ((Genesis 1:26)) and "Come, let us go down, and there confound their language" (Genesis 11:7)((Genesis 11:7)).

Chapter 13 - OF MIRACLE WORKERS AND  PROPHETS

Chapter 13 - OF MIRACLE WORKERS AND PROPHETS

Continued from Chapter 12 (Deuteronomy 13:2-4) The New Testament claim that Jesus performed miracles is one more exaggeration on the part of early Christians seeking to impress would-be converts. But the assertion that Jesus performed miracles is irrelevant as far as proving anything concerning his being the Messiah.
