What miracles did Jesus perform that magicians couldn't do today?

Question

During the time of Jesus there were many who performed the same miracles and claimed to be prophets.......

I've seen Penn and Teller turn water into wine, walk on water and raise the dead. All looked pretty real to witnesses at the time!!!!!

Answer 1

Well, there's always that "resurrection" thing...

Answer 2

There are many miracles that Jesus perform that magicians cannot do. The healing of the heart, can a magicians heal a broken heart. I think not. Raise someone from the dead, give someone hope, love someone unconditionally. I think not. Jesus is jesus and magicians are just an illusion.

Answer 4

Read the 4 Gospels of the New Testament in the Bible. I have never heard of any magicians who could do what Jesus did. If there was such a magician, you had better believe that one of the news agencies would have found him, and show him or her to the world, to try and show that the Christians are wrong. They would do this with a gleam in their eye, and a smile on their face.

Answer 5

Magicians cant perform real miracles. They perform illusions. They cant make water turn into wine, they cant heal..etc. All the miracles that Jesus did was not illusions or tricks, but true miracles.

Answer 6

there's a wide vast difference between miracles and illusions. The masked magician ought to not teach the "secret" used by using the Lord in His miracles. Are you suggesting that the Lord Jesus used mirrors even as he resurrected Lazarus?

Answer 7

magicians create illisouns Jesus Christ is the real miracle maker. Since no one is promised a tomorrow then that's the first miracle of the day.
He also healed so many, fed so many read the gospels for your self and experience all Jesus did

Answer 8

you could start with Moses
the magicians could not make the lice and bugs ... they could not create life

Jesus had power over quantity, quality, distance, demons, blindness lameness and death

Jesus 7
Magicians 0

Jesus can heal a broken heart
Jesus can change a heart
Jesus can turn an enemy of God into a child of God

Jesus 10
Magicians 0


interestingly
Magicians in Acts and Exodus opposed the gospel
were blinded and did not get to know God
Magi wised up worshiped jesus and did

Answer 9

Answer 10

Hath ye not heard of the Priest of the Pharoah? Moses snake ate their, and my fish will eat David Blaines. And unlike modern magicians, I hath no need for a transparent box to walk on water. Peace and mercy be with you, Amen.

Answer 11

Well, Jesus changed people, from the inside, I have never seen that done by a magician, they can mock but they can not do the real thing. The Lord, Jesus Christ has changed my life and I couldn't ask for anything better. Thanks for asking :).
