Would you seriously ever use the word “magic” to describe God’s supernatural powers? If you think it is a good word to use then I challenge you, nay I DARE YOU, to preach your upcoming Easter sermon and call Jesus’ resurrection MAGIC! See what happens.
And, for the record, when Bill Nye or any other evolutionist uses the word “magic” to refer to Biblical miracles…THEY MEAN IT 110% AS AN INSULT!!! Why should we use a loaded word like “magic” when referring to God’s wonderful operation in this universe?

NewYou "Outed" Me
Thanks a lot, Mark. All this time I’ve been trying to keep it a secret, but you “outed” me.
I am a Lutheran — either that, or I’m a male lesbian.
I’m still confused as to which…

“an extraordinary power or influence seemingly from a supernatural source”

NewThe point Easton
is that only confused people or people criticizing Christianity use the word “magic” when referring to God’s miracles.
NewWould I?
Would I? No. But I think you are trying to put Easton into an unnecessary box. But he can speak for himself.

Mark_Smith — That’s nothing. I once heard a “big name” IFB pastor use Star Trek to illustrate how Jesus was “beamed up” in the tomb…
I’ll bet Arthur C. Clarke corrupted him, as well.
