  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Jesus turned water into wine without speaking to it or praying about it verbally

John 2:

1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

Mary informed Jesus.

4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

Listen to Jesus.

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

They followed his instructions.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They followed his instructions again.

Jesus did not verbally command or pray for the transformation of water into wine, demonstrating His divine power of thought. He did the miracle quietly. His public hour had not yet come.

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

The disciples were impressed.

I think of this as an allegory of God's word. Water being God's Word, and the Wine being the prophecy being fulfilled. ie., 2/3's of the water had turned bitter---wormwood, so no one could drink it. Never look the wine in the glass until it arights itself in the cup, and so on.
It's just another way of looking at it. For those who have ears ;)
