You said: Did Jesus just give the appearance of things when the substance was something else??? When did He ever do that???
Maybe I am wrong, but isn’t Jesus one person of the Blessed Trinity. Didn’t God take the form of a burning bush at one time...or was that just a dream that I had? < /sarcasm>
But that was a burning bush, wasn't it, not a burning bush under the appearance of a budding azalea???
