I guess if I were of a mind to do so, I might wonder whether truning water
into wine, which I cannot do immediately, or raising a friend from the
dead,
which we cannot yet do by medical means of any sort, once true death has
occurred, makes Jesus schooled in things magical, and therefore rather
un-Christian, Even the current practice of the Trans-substanciation of
bread
into human flesh and wine into blood, instantaneously seems rather magical
Or it just may be that the servants of God are able to do whatever He
allows
them to do.Hmmm. I wonder if that is also rather an un-Christian remark.
