    Silly baby, don't you get it yet?

    I had a neighbor like you (KS) growing up. Didn't like people. Liked to insult the kids as they walked by. I'm seeing a huge similarity. I have thick skin and it honestly doesn't phase me when you get insulting. Which is funny...because then you proceed to call Christians condescending after insulting me... good job! :-)

    Well, lookie at you, with your sanctimonious judgment of others, when you don't know what the Hell you're talking about. The silly baby comment was directed to Finkelstein, not you (presumably that's what you were referring to).

    Finkelstein and I agree on most topics (including this one), and I've even threatened to cut the cute (but silly) baby avatar in half at times when I disagreed with him, but perhaps you aren't aware of him being an ally in pointing out the sheer ridicularity of clinging to ancient belief systems written by a culture of goat-herders?

    I feel pity for you, Christ Alone (and perhaps we can see why Christ IS alone: no one can stand being around him, with his sanctimonius Messiah Complex and Persecution Complex).

    If you have something relevant to add to the topic, please do so. Otherwise, quit hijacking threads for ad hominems, please.

    KS, you are getting more people to like you. Keep talking. You're doing very well.

    I've contributed to this thread alot. But when someone steps in and just wants to be insulting, I don't think it's hijacking the thread to call them out on it. You continually use bullying to try and get your point across. This is a sign of weakness. It's one reason why there is so much bullying in this country. People like you that use insults to try and prove a point. Nice job contributing to this huge problem.

    Hmmmmmmm lm curious now christ alone... Do you see a differance between miracles and magic? If so, what?

    I thought I was clear about what I think about it, Elderelite. No, I don't necessarily see a difference. The only difference I see is WHO is responsible for the physical change. If someone claiming to follow Satan performed a miracle, then I would think that it would be CALLED "Magic" or "Sorcery".

    I appeal to the accounts in Exodus. When Moses did something, it was called a miracle. If the "Magic Practicing Preists" did the same thing, it would've been considered "Magic". Whether they actually DID the "miracles" or "magic" or if it was just a sleight of hand trick of illusion, I don't know. But their practice would've been called "Magic", while Moses' was called a "miracle".

    All that being said, I think you have to be careful with the term "Magic" since it means many different things in English. All magic is not bad. It's only that which is attributed to the devil or other spirits that I believe is condemned in the Bible.

    Straight answer: I believe miracles exist and unexplained phenomenon that could be considered "magic".
