I think had been practising that one when he was younger and not allowed to buy wine from a 7/11 or off licence?
Any thoughts?

Well first off Wine and beer was served to children during those times ( and still is in many parts of the mediteranean) So nobody would need to illicitely purchase it back then. Second if it was a "trick" were would he get the substitute wine to do the trick with if he couldn't purchase (see your question falls apart as it contradicts itself) and lastly (just to answer all those I have seen stage magicians do it answerers that will inevitably come up) I have never seen a stage magician do it "on a whim" without having it perfectly set up first. When Jesus came to the wedding NOBODY knew in advance he was comming. Nobody had time to set up a "trick" the reason the story is mentioned is because in those days a wedding would have bought up all the wine for MILES around in preparation for the MULTIDAY banquet and party. For him to have Smuggled in a few hundred gallons of EXCELLANT wine from a neighboring area just on the hopes of the party running out and then "magically producing" it (when he was a broke carpenter who hadn't the means to afford it) This would probably have been a bigger miracle than the one he actually did. (meaning he would have had to predict the future and have set up a magic trick for no profit at great expense on the hopes that later on people would ... what? Hang him on a cross?) Yeah that makes lots of sense.

No He didn't go to the 7/11 but used the instant wine from Wal-Mart. Any more questions.

I think your question and remark is kind of incoherent.
From a 7/11?
Without being cynical, it wasn't a trick.
Your accusation has no basis. Relating an issue from two thousand years ago to modern times is quite comical.
Practising better grammar should be more of a concern for you.
That's my thought.
God Bless.

Indeed too easy. And, I might add, without rendering accounts of it to the taxing authorities. This is why it's rumored that the famed letter the Virgin was supposed to have left at Fatima for the Pope to read contains a demand for taxes due (and a bill for the last supper.)

I would love to see you try it. If it is so easy, it should be a piece of cake. I have seen magicians claim to do it but then we all know they have ways to trick you into thinking something is done when it is not the way it seems. Jesus had witnesses and those that tasted it testified to the reality of it so lets see you do it if you think it so easy.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7

Easy, perhaps, but not un-useful. Had he turned water into beer, I might have wound up attending church.
P.S. JimDarwin's.... doesn't stike me as anyone you'd want to share a drink with anyway.

was it a decent white, a lusty red, or a disgusting jug type wine. The book doesn't really say does it.

I don't understand why some christians are teetotalers. Jesus openly promoted getting drunk off your a s s.

I've turned water into beer with my little brewing bucket.
