Hope it stays that way and that labour are seen as doing an actual decent job

The strain on families already existing is definitely not okay, and I don't know why more people aren't talking about it.

It's not even about reducing migration, just making a nightmare even more of a nightmare, punishing those who come in legally.

I'm not saying it's justifiable to come in illegally, but it is one of the more viable methods of migrating here

The Conservatives say the period before someone can apply for ILR should be extended from five to 10 years.

That's ridiculous. As it stands, you have to have a job with a 30k+ income and live in the UK in that job for 5 years for ILR. Unless you're married (Which by the way, as it stands, the rules in my opinion on making it difficult for British people to bring their spouses into the UK violates human rights, you shouldn't have to have such a high income for a right to have your family in your home country) in which you still must wait 5 years.

She has said there should be a hard cap on migration but declined to say what the cap should be, arguing it would depend on the situation at any given time.

If there's a large amount of high quality immigrants coming in who are contributors, then what's the issue. The strain on public services is the fault of policy elsewhere, not on migrants. If they're bringing in money, then the money should be used to improve services for everyone.

Can't arrest everyone

You said the story or Jesus was implausible, then elaborated on the miracles. The miracles are implausible. But if Jesus truly is God, then He could do the implausible. So the miracles don't render the story as a whole implausible, because the story is claiming that it was God Himself performing said miracles, which would make sense.

It is implausible, that's why it's so important that Jesus did it

Without miracles, Jesus would just be some madman walking about claiming to be God yet not being able to prove it.

Fair

Unless there is a God and the person performing them just so happens to be God

No? It's a bit silly to claim miracles don't happen because they aren't physically possible. That's what makes then so miraculous

Good news- it is. Congratulations!

The miraculous Jesus was something religious scholars had to lobby as canonical for centuries before it was officially recognized.

This is just flat out false. The gospels were still written within the first century and even then, the oldest letter - The epistle to the Galatians - still testifies that Jesus rose from the dead.

Galatians 1:1-5, 12, 15-16 ESV [1] Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead— [2] and all the brothers who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: [3] Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, [4] who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, [5] to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

[12] For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

[15] But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, [16] was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with anyone;

(1 Thessalonians is a contestant for the oldest, but still)

1 Thessalonians 1:10 ESV

[10] and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

The letters carry a miraculous nature

1 Corinthians 15:3-8 ESV

[3] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, [4] that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, [5] and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. [6] Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. [7] Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. [8] Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.

If you got rid of the Gospels and revelation in the New Testament, the Faith remains mainly the same.

But that's besides the point, trying to claim miracles can't happen because it's impossible is an oxymoron. If it was able to happen without supernatural means, it wouldn't be a miracle.
