How is it different from magic?
I'll reply to the other stuff later but you believe in the bible and the bible refers to magic ...
The Bible refers to the omnipotent power of God and His omniscient mind to control that power for His purposes. Magic is man's illusion of power.
Quote:The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "When Pharaoh says to you, 'Perform a miracle,' then say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh,' and it will become a snake." So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did just as the LORD commanded. Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a snake. Pharaoh then summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the Egyptian magicians also did the same things by their secret arts. (Exodus 7:8-11)
Mathilda Wrote:You may wiggle out this by referring to them as magic tricks, even though your bible does not say this but it doesn't matter. Because what you believe in is magic. It is the same difference. Whether it's some holy power or some magical power, you believe in something that you think happens in real life even though it would defy all known physical laws but is, and always will be, impossible to explain.
Notice that God performed the miracle and the magicians used secret arts. Miracles have no natural explanation or as you put it impossible to explain. Secret arts then and now are a magicians illusion, meaning only a trick or slight of hand. This is simple stuff why do you try and complicate, do you really not understand. Many highly educated doctors have said that the healing can only be explained as a miracle.

You may be old in years but you have a very vindictive childish mind that needs to grow up and act responsible.
Your excuse for your own execrable choice of language is rejected. You show your true colours regarding women elsewhere in the thread with your snark about feminists.
I can't possibly top you in the childish department. You're sucking at the teat of a hell-creating god with a fetish for blood sacrifices, and threatening your mortal playmates that if they don't find a teat of their own and latch on, they're gonna be sooooooory.
As for vindictiveness, don't go there. Just don't. Even I don't know how deep that rabbit hole goes.
You continue to show your childish ways, if being a feminist is your choice so be it, but you should understand if you want to be treated as men treat each other you're going to have to suck it up and take the heat. There's no room in this kind of attitude for the weak and there's nothing but equal treatment and men can be unkind to each other. Equal status receives equal treatment. Not threatening you just saying that's the world of men.
Reject all you want what I said is true, if you were a man I would have used some cute remark kiddo, ect. You need to realize i'm not nor ever have been your enemy and I'm not sure why you are trying to make me one. I take the bold by me above as a threat but will let it go.

Magic by a different name, is magic all the same.
Of course you believe in magic, GC. It's the crux of your belief system.
You just call it Something Else.
Magic is an illusion, what God does isn't an illusion it is real and unexplainable. If you mean I would call it a miracle, you're right.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
