Hmm, When Moses turned his staff into a snake and the Egyptian magicians did the same. One was true and the other was magic, and because Moses’s snake ate the other two it proved that God’s version was the right one…
Yes, I heard that. Doesn’t make it right, but I have heard that.
Very dodgy theology.
MIracles are not there to be debunked or explained. They serve a purpose. They proclaim God’s sovereignty over His creation. It doesn’t matter whether we can explain them now, What matters is the reaction of the viewers at the time. A radio would be magic to someone who did not know how it worked.
It seems that people are more concerned with the actions than the meaning or results of them. The Bible is still about theology, not science, or even infallible factual history.
