As a magician the claims that Jesus used magic tricks are just incredibly ridiculous. The two cannot be conflated.

[BerishaFatian]

I don't think a magician would do tricks (miracles) if they know that could get them killed.

[AlexVonT]

Or even the second part of that miracle. Perspex boxes require calm water. Jesus walked on top of waves in a squall that was bad enough to keep the disciplea from being able to approach the shore for 3 hours... and only after he was on the boat did he command the winds to stop.

No one will walk on water like the Son of God did! 🌊⛵

[godismyjudge]

If it was a magic trick it would be very impressive for an ancient civilization considering the scene was described to be out in the middle of the body of water implying that it was pretty deep and there was a storm brewing at the time so those boxes would have had to been large enough to sit at the bottom and reach the surface and heavy enough not to get tossed by the raging waters and still be inconspicuous as to not be seen. Not to mention getting Peter to step out on to the platforms without missing would be a feat in of itself. The last nail in the coffin is that Peter looked away and started to sink but Jesus brought him back up implying that if this was a trick one of those platforms had to be technologically advanced enough to start to sink when stepped on and only when Peter took his eyes off Jesus, and to reset itself so that it was sturdy enough to hold Peter after Jesus rescues him.

[paultkalec]

It was a storm in the middle of a amount of perspex boxes could overcome that!

[litigioussociety]

I guess Peter wasn't a very good magician's assistant.

[faithinYahushua]

Knowing this first, that there should come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts

[williamrice]

Skeptics will say resurrection didn't happen because that would be naturally impossible. Yet the point of dying then raising back to life was as a sign to non-believers, as in who could pull this off but God. It's like saying give us a sign to prove you are God, He gives a sign, then you turn around and say no that would be impossible, must be a trick or made up story. Give us a break!

[veritasomniavincit]

So they’re trying to refute the Truth with claims of magic? That’s embarrassing.

[festushaggen]

If Jesus didn't do any miracles the accusation against Him would be that He didn't do any miracles.
Because He did do miracles the accusation is that they can't be proven today to people who don't believe in miracles.
There seems to be a theme here.

[imaflyfisherman]

Even the way Jesus talked and lived I think is evidence enough. Maybe instead of looking at all the wonders and signs just look at the man himself. If you look deep enough I think you'll see what I mean.

[jasonmunoz]

1.Walk in the water
2. In the storm
3.and let others walk in water
4. To fish is to be away from the land.
So apostles boat must be far in the shore.


So far they have done the 1st but 2-4 they will never do it in the same time today. Maybe they can do it after 50 years or so on with technology but the thing is. Will it take 50 years for Jesus to come back? I don't have the answer as well, but we are in the end of days, the bible says it.

[larzman]

If walking on water was magic, how did he get the wind and the water to obey him? Now for the gospel: that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS and shalt believe in thy heart that GOD raised him from the dead thou shalt be Saved 🙌

[owretchedguy]

Hi, I know that the current 'Yanuka' has brought back someone from the dead over in Israel. This never had happened in the 20th Century as far as I know.

[Jesusiscomingback-jcnf]

Also it was during a storm which means ripping currents and huge waves would be pretty hard to walk you’re better off saying it was made up.

[CaptainFantastic]

Does anyone know if there is any evidence outside of the Bible that describes the miracles Christ performed?

[johnedelmann]

Picking on low hanging fruit to validate your beliefs does not make us Christians look better.

[franbatista]

Jews claim that Jesus learnt sorcery and black magic. Would like this to be talked on this channel

[OSHA_Violator]

If those were simply tricks, the disciples knew it and died for a lie.
Nonsense
