Mark:

Your first sentence makes no sense with double negatives flipping to positives to single negatives. It's like a roller coaster ride.

I have no idea what you were trying to say.

Nevertheless, I get the feeling that you still don't understand what I have been saying.

We are not talking about whether Sinai was a miracle. We Jews had a collective experience as a nation. That experience at Sinai became part of our shared history, our tradition, passed down through the nation from one generation to the next generation. It is on that basis that we accept the TORAH. The Torah says that we must not follow those who perform miracles and ask us to follow another system, claiming something has supplanted the Torah. Post-Sinai, such miracles are irrelevant. Even if miracles are performed, we follow the Torah and not those who ask us to deviate to worship a man or to treat the laws of the Torah as obsolete.

The real question is whether we should accept claims that God became a man and that the Torah was supplanted on the basis of miracles. The Torah gives us the answer.
