What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. There was no Jesus who performed miracles of healing

View on HN

even the Jews of the time that did not believe or follow Jesus wrote that he performed signs. They claimed it was sorcery.

in Folio 43a of Tractate Sanhedrin of the Babylonian Talmud as follows:

‘It is taught: On the eve of Passover they hung Yeshu and the crier went forth for forty days beforehand declaring that "[Yeshu] is going to be stoned for practicing witchcraft, for enticing and leading Israel astray.”’

The relevant portions of the Bible record that the Jews of the Sanhedrin acknowledged the signs and miracles but said it was by the power of Satan that he did these things.

They also have countless records proving hundreds of thousands of women were witches, with ironclad proofs such as “if we stab them they scream so they must be witches, off to the pire” or “throw them bound in the water, if they float it means they’re evil because water (baptism) rejects them so they’re witches -> burn.”

What’s your evidence for this claim?

Logic. Prove I didn’t eat a peanut just now; good luck.
