Addendum to my addendum: Calvin and Chrysostom both mentions the miracles of Judas. This is rather interesting. Here is one case:

"Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness." Matt 10:1

Addedum: Before I get the question about how can miracles be done outside of God, please remember that the Egyptian magicians were able to imitate some of the miracles of God through Moses.

You read it wrong -- they were able to imitate the end results, they were "magicians", they did not work miracles. As you understand the term "magician", does David Copperfield work miracles? No. Ditto for the Egyptian magicians

Addendum to my addendum: Calvin and Chrysostom both mentions the miracles of Judas. This is rather interesting.

You are making false, incorrect interpretations and assumptions into Scripture. What does the sentence say? That Jesus gave them authority to work miracles. Does it say that ALL (or any of them) did so? Does it specifically say that Judas carried out miracles? ARen't you twisting and misinterpreting Scripture to make it say what you want to? And these aren't even good twists -- anyone who can see and read can point them out as fallacious and illogical.
