What was the motive of Jesus in doing his miracles?
​
Material gain and stardom.
​
Do his miracles invalidate faith in xians because they give what many here at EVC have long asked for: evidence?
​
It doesn't negate faith because they need faith to believe that the events have been accurately recorded.

Far from it. See above. Most of us creationists and Biblical Christians have argued all along that we DO have evidence, that the Bible is evidence.
​
Let's forget the circular arguments for a second, I mean what else is Christianity if not circular?
​
But, you must have FAITH to believe that the Bible is an accurate record of events since you have bugger all outside of the Bible and much of the Bible has been falsified by science, history, and archaeology. At least to us sane folks it has.
