**I believe that under the proper circumstances, water will turn into wine.**

That’s nice. Circumstances.....like a bunch of carbon atoms (and a few stragglers, like iron atoms) got thrown in the water, and then a bolt of lightning.........

Matthew 15:32. Then Jesus called his disciples, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have NOTHING to eat; I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.”

So, Jesus took the basket with a few loaves and fishes, that the disciples had, and in short order there was abundance.

If people can’t believe those miracles, how can they believe that Jesus Christ arose after being dead for three days?

I was thinking more like some yeast floating around in the air, maybe some grapes in a jar that was open to the rain...just really bizarre stuff like that.

Lots of folk don’t believe in the resurrection.

It amazes me as well. Which is easier to do? Create the universe? Turn a few fish/loaves into food for all? Rise from the dead?

this is the faith component of Christianity.
