Now if a voice came from the clouds proclaiming Jesus as the messiah, a lot more people would have believed him!</B>To which I responded:
Kinda like the Voice of the Father did when He was baptized and said"This is my son in whom I am well pleased." Or in any of these other accounts of a "voice from the sky making that proclamation."

Yes that was a good point you made; usually when somebody quotes a bible verse, I have a tendency to overlook it without even reading it because I like hearing the persons opinion not what he got from a book and this time it backfired on me because I completely missed that point you made.
If you believe what the bible says, obviously those people in that small area of the world where Jesus preached are without excuse but I dont think it can be compared to a voice coming from the sky proclaiming to be God the creator of the universe to the entire world at once in a language that everyone can understand especially if it were done with todays technology.
