i meant the kind involving magic. what is the difference between jesus and a witch? If he performed these magical events, does that make him a witch?

They are called transcendent powers meaning he went beyond his physical body and had a gift that transcends the earth planes :)))) Jesus said we can all strive for this :))) that Jesus Christ was able to achieve in his high soul development ordained by GOD :)))) They might say it was from the occult I have heard this before :))))

It's all a matter of definition. If a supernatural event is caused by the intervention of a 'diety' of some sort, then it's a miracle. If it's performed any other way, it's magic. What constitutes a 'diety' is pretty much open to the interpretation of who has the biggest guns or the sharpest sword.
Fact is, Ray Bradbury (the author) said it best; "One mans 'magic' is another mans 'technology'. âº

A witch was one that formed a compact with evil spirits so Jesus would not be called a witch since he was not raising evil spirits but only doing what was good. Jesus had no evil in him. A miracle is called this because it is good and did not come from an evil source. There is a big difference in conjuring up evil and preforming a miracle.

witchcraft involves manipulating the 'natural' forces in order to bring about a desired result. this is done thru spells, incantations, etc. jesus never cast a spell. he merely did miraculous things. there was no manipulation, just results. you could make a reasonable argument that there is magick in the sacraments of baptism and the eucharist, but trying to link jesus to witchcraft just shows a lack of understanding of either the craft or christianity.

The Extreme Home Makeover show performs "miracles". Are they witches?

Jesus did not call of forces of nature or cast spells. He performed miracles--there is a difference.

But there aren't any pictures of him wearing a pointy hat or records of him saying stuff like "I'll get you my pretty!"
