Hello Sheng-Ta Tsai!

You said:

"So do you acknowledge the miracles happening in Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and a bunch of folk religions?"

The Bible is quite honest that miracles happen in other religions. That's why it never encourages belief solely on the basis of a miracle.

A miracle might provide evidence strengthening a claim, but by itself it is not to be the sole basis of faith.

In the Bible's worldview, the miracles performed in other religions are works of false gods -- demons.

The Bible never denies that demons can work miraculous events. In fact it cautions against them, warning that they will indeed occur, and to be ready to discern when you see a miracle.

Even with all of that said, the miracles in the Gospels are categorically different than those in other religions.

There is no other religious figure like Jesus, who healed every disease in every village He went to, who could effortlessly walk on water and create food to feed thousands.

Further, most miracles end up attributed to a religious figure two generations after that person has died, after all available eyewitnesses are also dead.

Jesus' were recorded during the lifetimes of the eyewitnesses and most widely believed in the very lands where they happened.

There is no figure in Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoism, or folk religions comparable to Jesus in this regard.
