how do christians defend christ's miracles in the bible but condemn wizardry and sorcery as satanic?
so far christ was a
>necromancer
raised men and women from the dead
>conjurer
fed thousands of people with a couple fish and a few loaves of bread
>sorcerer
turned water to wine
>soothsayer
healing wounds, removing curses/exorcism
>oracle
predicting the future
>enchanter
walking on water
>geomancer
calming the storm
any many more
if they say he did it by praying to the father or had "divine grace" that just sounds like he invoked the power of a demon to do it. any takes on this? if this happened today how could they tell the difference between holy magic and satanic magic masquerading as holy magic? or is all this just bullshit?

Because Miracles & Magic are not the same thing.

Miracles = The suspension of physical Universal laws, performed by God using a human as the medium through grace.

Magic/Sorcery = The prideful attempt to bend Universal physical law to the will of the magician, performed out of Ego, spurring the man to proclaim himself as God-like, no grace involved.

The miracle worker's work is entirely selfless. The magician is full of himself.

Same reason Jesus had long hair, but the Bible condemns men having long hair. Bullshit contradictions

what makes the magician's magic prideful? how does he lack grace? god doesn't want him to do miracles to save people too?

>attempt
Want me to attempt seeing you do a single miracle and fail?
Then I will use -not bend- the laws of physics the exact way they're intended to work to bewitch your pet cat

Behold, le formulaire of ee-ball:
Ritual empowers and brings energy.
The will and intention of the magician bring direction and a push towards the target.
Thus Sorcery is brought about, and the laws of physics are the ones doing it.
Ez, team science wins
