When JC did that wasn't he essentially stealing from the local wine merchant? He should have bought more instead of using magic is all I'm saying.

The Pharisees had the wine monopoly and by brewing his own he was not only saving money, but depriving his enemies of it.

Stealing is something you take without others permission and benefited from the thing that you have taken. In this case, He did not steal any thing and if you read it carefully in context, after all wine has been consumed, (probably most people are drunk already), when He turn the water into wine, people who tasted that "wine" lost their drunkedness because they have notice that the wine taste the best. In short they were refreshed.

Jesus can't steal anything. Everything belongs to him. He is the creator. The wine came from the water, not a store. The water was changed. It symbolizes what happens to people when the are born again. A real change happens to us. We go from being dead to being alive. We are a new creation.

that was one of His greatest demonstration of His power to change things. out of all the miracles that are recorded in the old testament , Jesus copied them all and then went further to demonstrate that He is God.Jesus showed that He was greater then nature by walking on water, ability to allow blind people to see( even those blind to God) , change the plain into something greater (water to wine) and the power to raise himself from the dead. it that all not awesome.

No wounder why there are at least 44 million drunkards in this country and many million more social drinkers.

It could have been that he was such a good winemaker that they wanted to make a bad story out of it, makes sense to me.
