  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Jesus turned water into wine in John 2:
G4592 occurs 77 times.
HELPS Word-studies:
Turning the water into wine revealed Jesus' glory. It achieved a specific purpose in the will of God.
John 5:
Particularly the miraculous works.
John 10:
John 14:
Miraculous works were signs and evidence to prove a supernatural point.
Paul performed miraculous healing to demonstrate that he was sent by Jesus.
Miracles are not performed to satisfy people's demands and curiosities.
Matthew 16:
Luke 23:
Herod didn't see any miracles from Jesus.
It is good to believe without seeing the miracles, John 20:
Bottom line: Hebrews 2:
Signs point to something. Jesus' signs (miracles) pointed to the nature of gospel grace, which heals the spiritually sick, lame, blind and maim.

Jesus' signs miracles, showed He Jesus was who He said He was. So people could believe in Jesus for Eternal Life.

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

Jesus' miracles were both testimony to his divinity, as well as signs showing the nature of gospel grace.

Signs are miracles
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

Yes, Jesus miracles demonstrated that he was God.

John calls them "signs" because they also point to (purpose of a sign) the nature of saving grace.
