Jesus became a real man. Just like us . He felt hungry and He was sad. Jesus did miracles to help and to glorify His Father. That's not magic. That is done with the power of God. Magic can never be good. So magic never came from Jesus.

Jesus was a real man, all historians, including athiests agree with this. If by that you conclude that magic is possible, thats your conclusion, but I draw a distinction between magic and miracles. I believe that things out of the norm caused by God are miracles, out of the norm caused by illusions or tricks is magic.
Hope that made sense!

Yes, what Jesus did was from God enabling Jesus through faith. Faith is belief in what is not known, but since God entrusted Jesus, the Faith factor was 100%.
Consider this, you know your daughter can ride a bike, you can ride a bike no problem. You put your daughter on the bike and help her wheel around for a while in the driveway and street until she knows what she is doing. Then you take your hand off of the seat and let her ride around. That is God's hand in our lives, letting us do our own course but still hoping that the love comes back.
God doesn't own us or manipulate us, He helps us, but the more we understand Him, the more is possible in the supernatural sense as far as performing miracles.
Here is a question for you: Do you beleive in wizards? Our pastor told us about a wizard visiting him in a hotel room, supernaturally. The wizard told our pastor to stop preaching what he was saying. Our pastor told the wizard to be gone or else he would cut the silver cord that the wizard used to manifest there. Is that scary for you? There are things that you ask of God that you have no idea what you are asking. There is a fourth dimension and it is real, with angels and demons there, just like God is there for you right now.

You have to know that a lot of what is written in the bible was exagerrated, but magic is real - just not in the sense that is portrayed on shows like Buffy and Charmed. It is a Pagan notion, which is used for the purpose of good, where one draws the energy of the Earth's spirit into themselves to perform tasks to improve their life and the life of those around them.
Miracles as said in the bible are technically true themselves, but it is completely different than magic, where magic can't instantaneously heal a person's blindness or cure a cancer, tumour etcetera.
For the first person who posted here about magic not being real - "Ouch" as a firm and proud Pagan practicioner.

yes magic is real if you look up Enoch in the bible or on the history television channel in search you will see Enoch was told by an angel the order of stars and GOD took him and in Samuel a familiar spirit was called upon so yes it's real but miracles are what you will have to expect in this truth hidden world.

There is a difference between God's supernatural power and man's limited magic. One can't be explained, while the other one can.

If we look to the Bible, we see that magic is in the realm of Satan.
When Moses was dealing with Pharoah regarding freeing the Israelites, Aaron threw down Moses' staff and it turned into a serpent. The "magic practicing" priests of Pharoah did the same. Their staffs also turned into snakes. The snake of Moses ate up the other snakes. Proving that miracles from God can always overcome the magic of Satan.
(Genesis 41:8) And it developed in the morning that his spirit became agitated. So he sent and called all the magic-practicing priests of Egypt and all her wise men, and Phar′aoh went on to relate his dreams to them. But there was no interpreter of them for Phar′aoh.
(Genesis 41:24) And the thin ears of grain began to swallow up the seven good ears of grain. So I stated it to the magic-practicing priests, but there was none telling me.”
(Exodus 7:10-12) So Moses and Aaron went on in to Phar′aoh and did exactly as Jehovah had commanded. Accordingly Aaron threw his rod down before Phar′aoh and his servants and it became a big snake. 11 However, Phar′aoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers; and the magic-practicing priests of Egypt themselves also proceeded to do the same thing with their magic arts. 12 So they threw down each one his rod, and they became big snakes; but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.

Magic is an illusion, miracles are real.
