He might have had the power to do this (I doubt it, but he COULD call on a GOD who could do it), but, fact is, he DIDN'T do it!
The Bible CLEARLY says FIRE:
1 Kings 18:36-38
36. At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
37. Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
38. Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
(Will you now call ME a 'bigot' because I pointed out your error; or thank me for it?)
You are correct. I should have reviewed it before posting.
Thank you.
