loaves into fishes, etc.. why was he not stoned to death per Exodus 22:18? Many jews did not accept him as Messiah per the bible. This would've been considered sorcery/witchcraft.

He specifically followed the Torah, according to the bible. He lived in Israel where Jewish law WAS law.. so what gives?

"God" can break his own rules, apparently.

I happened to have read the reason late last night during my Christian Bible study at the Vatican library ( Now available on CD and DVD! ) while going over some of the forty hidden Gospels. The Gospel according to Moe states clearly that Jesus had won a "Get out of a stoning free!" clay tablet while playing an early version of what we would now call "monopoly" with John the Baptist and the Holy Ghost. It seems Jesus kept the clay tablet just for an occasion as arose when He was doing the "Fish and Loaves" trick as He was known to put it. It further goes on to state that a number of papyrus scrolls were carried by the treasurer Judas which had different applications for any other crisis that might arise. On an interesting side note it would seem that the missing "Get out of the last supper!" scroll was traded for an early version of a baseball card, in reflection an ill thought out exchange. I hope this has helped clear up this theological concern and once again established the invincibility of Christianity to logic or reason.

Why wasn't Moses, Elijah or Elisha stoned for their miracles? Miracles are not sorcery. Sorcery always points to the individual performing the act. Miracles point to God, for only God can produce miracles. Jesus always pointed to His Father and always did the will of His Father. The Jews tried to attribute the miracles to the devil so that they COULD stone Him. They could not make that stick because He always pointed to the Father as the source.
If you want to see this discrepancy illustrated, read Acts 8:9-25

If you would take the time to read the Bible you would see that Jesus stated he came to fulfill the law and the only people that were upset about the miracles (besides half of the people on here) were the temple priest (rabbi) because the more people that followed JESUS the less they would have in possessions.

The religious leaders of his day did try to have him killed but he was also very popular with some of the people who considered him to be a prophet sent from God. A prophet performing miracles is perfectly legitimate in the jews eyes and not worthy of being stoned. It is for this reason that the leaders of the day could not directly have him killed but instead had to go the legal road and trump up false charges to get him infront of the roman rulers and have the legitimate government kill jesus. They were afraid of the reaction of the people in responce to anyother method.

Is the Creation of the universe considered witchcraft in your opinion? There were occasions where the people "Tried" to kill Jesus. However, He had a mission to accomplish and all the forces of evil joined together, could not change what God set out to accomplish: Once Christ Jesus had accomplished what He had set out to do, then He graciously submitted to mankind and fulfilled what was written about Him. Praise The Holy Lamb Of God !!!!

If I'm not mistaken...and I don't think I am...he was put to death. :-) The leaders had to walk a thin line...at the time he was performing many of those miracles, the people adored him, followed him everywhere. If the religious leaders had just put him to death immediately the people would have revolted. Instead they had to be a bit more calculating when plotting his demise.

Jesus was subject to the laws of Moses.
His miracles were considered evil because the Jewish leaders thought he was a devil. There are a few instances were they tried to kill him but Jesus just walked away because it was not yet his time. The Jewish leaders were able to crucify him eventually but only because he allowed them to, so he could save us. He could have come off the cross any time he wished but he chose to die for your sins. The Jewish leaders only thought they were getting rid of a trouble maker.

I guess the obvious answer would be that he never did these things,they are simply things added to his legend by his followers after his death in their writings. Like the ressurection which has no evidence beyond the writings of his followers it simply didn't happen.

Was Jesus not subject to the laws of Moses? Why not?

Stop this useless crap. Helping the poor and people in need gets you closer to God than reciting prayers and chapters.
