The Attack on Jesus's Miracles

Progressive Christians attack the miracles of Jesus by desupernaturalizing them, claiming that they were not miraculous but rather common for that time period. They argue that miracles violate the laws of physics and therefore should be reinterpreted metaphorically. These reinterpretations seek to strip Jesus of his divinity and his power, reducing him to a mere moral teacher or a social reformer.
