Is it possible that the Gospel accounts of Jesus' sayings and miracles are a fabrication?
Another answer from our community:
I believe it is irrelevant whether or not the miracles occurred. What is important would be the knowledge and understanding that was taught or demonstrated.
It is what we carry within us that matters. And what we do with it. It is irrelevant to me whether or not Jesus was a real man or made up. He didn't tell us to always believe He existed. But He did tell us many things to remember. And He showed us as well. It was what He gave us that was important. And He didn't even take credit for any of it. He attributed it all to GOD.

Is it possible that the Gospel accounts of Jesus' sayings and miracles are a religious interpretation of a visit by an extraterrestial?
A:No. It would be far more believable to say either that Jesus really did perform miracles or that the gospels stories are, at least in large part, fabrications.
Was Paul or any of the authors of the four gospels an eyewitness to Jesus' miracles?
It is undisputed that Paul was not an eyewitness to the miracles that are recorded in the four gospels. Christian tradition hold that the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark and John were written by disciples of that name, who were eyewitnesses to some of the miracles that they reported. Since Christian tradition hold that Luke's Gospel was written by a young companion of Paul, then the author of this gospel was clearly not an eyewitness of the miracles. Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek and clearly used Mark's Gospel as its main source for the life of Jesus, as did Luke's Gospel. This can be shown because whenever Matthew and Luke agree with Mark, the Greek words are almost identical, something that could not have occurred if Matthew was relying on personal memory. Whenever Matthew and Luke agree on sayings of Jesus, that are not in Mark's Gospel, they use identical words for the sayings, but place them in different contexts and even different times of the ministry of Jesus. Scholars say they must have used as their sources a common document of sayings attributed to Jesus, a document now known as the Q Document, and created plausible contexts in which Jesus could have spoken those sayings. The fact that Matthew, as well as Luke, relied so heavily on Mark and the Q Document means that this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. John's Gospel was also written in Greek and shows evidence of borrowing much of its material from Luke's Gospel. Once again, this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. Only the author of Mark's Gospel could have been an eye-witness to the miracles, but much evidence internal to this gospel indicates that he was really writing a second-hand account. In summary, none of these authors was an eye-witness to the miracles.
