I was reading in a little known book where a small jewish boy took some clay and formed two sparrows, and then breathed life into them and they flew away. Is that magic or a miracle. And if you belive in it either way, magic or miracle, do you believe in the little boy. His name is Jesus

If we waited for the schlolars to prove anything, we would have proven nothing.
The book is real, it is the Gospel of Thomas, you know doubting Thomas.
I said magic not tricks. Please no reilgious bantering

If miracles are done by God and magic by others, then what is it when an 80 year old woman lifts a car off her dying husband to save his life. would you consider the works of Mother Teresa a course of miracles?

I'm 100% believer of the little boy you are talking about.
Magic have tricks... miracles don't. Magics can be done by human but only SOMEONE POWERFUL and HOLY can do miracles.
My son needed a liver trabsplant 2 months ago. I prayed really hard, I prayed the chaplet of The Divine Mercy. Now my baby is cancer-free, all the tumors are gone without any surgery... the doctors last week were amazed. It must be the worked of THE GREATEST PHYSICIAN! For more testimonies on miracles by the Divine Mercy here are links for you to visit:

I've seen the paralysed walked, the blinds see again, the uncurable skin diseases were cured and more!
I even experienced receiving messages from the HOLY SPIRIT... everytime it happens... my tears can't stop from falling from my eyes... I feel inner peace and happiness.
I'm more than blessed to experienced these things! They are proof that our GOD is a LIVING and MERCIFUL GOD.
Don't stop believing!!! Miracles do happen every second of our life. =)

I like Jesus very much, cause he taught love.
But, I never heard that story before.
Magic is a trick, planned in advance, to fool you.
Miracles are very real and they happen every day all around the world .
If you and I helped, more miracles would happen!

PS, Magic is tricks ... thats all. Do you get it, I hope.

That story has not been proven by any academics that i know of, it's only myth.
Magic or miracle? The truth is that miracles are only good for the people that experience them and perhaps for those that witness them. Even those that witness them can attribute them to magic or slight of hand.
The only true evidence of a messenger from God is His message and the fruits of His message.

yes i do believe the miracle was jesus who was sent down here to earth by his father God to sacrifice his own life for our sins and heal the sick and blind,deaf,paralyzed,rose the dead. and the difference between magic and miracles its magic it happens right away or like you wish for something and it automatically appears and a miracle is something that is given whenever someone is in danger or is in bad health etc.

Magic tricks can be explained.
Miracles cannot be explained.
Jesus did not make any sparrows. He healed people and raised the dead and made a miracle with wine and fish & bread

whatever book you read was fake. Jesus never did that. What he did was took to bits of dirt, spit into them to make clay. he then took this clay and put it in the eyes of a blind man. when he washed he could see.
magic is factitious things that arnt real. someone who does magic is doing illusions. things that look real, but you cannot see what is behind the curtain. Mirical is when God himself heals people or changes peoples life to make things better. mostly, or most talked about, are being healed from desise and physical aliments, being blind, cancer, flesh wounds being healed.

Magic is not possible. It's when you break laws of nature, which is impossible. Miracles are possible, but are when something highly unlikely happens.
