and Other Compulsions to Not Rock Boats or Walk on Water
How "normal" do you think it was for darting firey flames to appear above apostles heads? Have you seen that lately? I have seen a few fuzzy bad dried hair dye jobs, but nothing resembling darting flames. How "normal" was it for people to pass over a shadow of someone you know and be instantly healed from whatever ailed them? How "normal" was it for someone to spit into some dirt and make mud, smear it on someone's blind eyes and cure cataracts or whatever blinded them for life? How "normal" was it for demons to leap from bodies into pigs and plummet off hills at His command?
There was NOTHING 'Normal" about what Jesus did while he was here. It was beyond miraculous. It was paranormal and supranormal. Because Jesus is GOD. When you stuff him in your box, of your limited understanding of "religion" , your religion has co-opted and captured him in your image. God is not made in man's image. It's the other way around.
Jesus is God- and that my friends, is well beyond our full understanding. We see as in a mirror dimly now, then we shall see face to face. He is the God of infinate surprise- because he is the Hound of Heaven that will not be sent back to his Box.

The above photo is from a Dome in the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception Basillica in Washington, DC that is worth a visit. Flames- dancing on people's heads- when have you seen that lately? www.nationalshrine.com
