Before you rule out the miracles of Jesus, you have to rule out the the miracles of yogis.

So there was a historical Jesus?
We want “historical accuracy.”

Steve Campbell, author of Historical Accuracy? !

Steefen
he could do significant miracles as Indian yogis could do before he returned to Galilee and Judea?
Whose mother died in Pakistan when he journey back to India after he was crucified?
and one of his disciples (Thomas) established a church in India?

Let me watch the movie amazon prime and get some impressive feedback here–even if it’s my own contemplation.

It seems I have to incorporate that in what I hold to be historically accurate.

Encylopaedia Britannica

Although little is certain about his life, Christian tradition holds that St. Thomas was the first missionary to India. He is recognized as the founder of the Church of the Syrian Malabar Christians, or Thomas Christians.

St. Thomas | Apostle of Jesus, India Missionary – Britannica

Google, What apostle went to India?

Wikipedia – Saint Thomas Christians

According to tradition, Thomas the Apostle came to Muziris on the Kerala coast in AD 52[47][48][7] which is in present-day Pattanam, Kerala.[49]

The Cochin Jews are known to have existed in Kerala in the 1st century AD,[8][50] and it was possible for an Aramaic-speaking Jew, such as St. Thomas from Galilee, to make a trip to Kerala then.[51] The earliest known source connecting the Apostle to Northwest India, specifically the Indo-Parthian Kingdom is the Acts of Thomas, likely written in the early 3rd century, perhaps in Edessa.[52]

And Thomas wrote nothing about looking up Jesus in India?

Thomas was not there at Jesus’ death?
Jesus was not there at Thomas’ death?
And how did Jesus finally die in India?

Well, case closed.

When people in the bible ascend to heaven
do they look into the future and note
airplanes have restrooms, pillows, and blankets?
