why ?

 Why was Jesus willing to change an inanimate object to food in one place, but unwilling to do it in another place?

When Jesus is tempted by Satan to change rocks into bread Jesus refuses by replying man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Satan did not argue with him on this point or continue that line of reasoning. Satan moved on to his next temptation without any further comment at all.

When Jesus is at a wedding party they run out of wine. Jesus' mother comes and says Jesus they've run out of wine. Jesus says what have I to do with you woman it is not my time yet. She persists in Jesus then changes water into wine. I think the Bible states that this is the first miracle that Jesus did. So apparently Jesus produced his first wine before his time.

seems odd

 Noah and his sons and their four wives come off of the Ark and start multiplying upon the face of the Earth. The Bible plainly states that the entire Earth was repopulated by these eight people. So at first they seem sort of like one big happy family at the Tower of Babel. Then God changes their language into many languages and suddenly they almost don't seem like they have the same DNA anymore. They spread out all over the Earth and they appear to form very unfriendly alliances and relationships. Apparently it becomes common for them to kill each other. About the time we get to Abraham the people living on the earth don't seem like relatives at all. Abraham views the Egyptians as extremely dangerous. He asks Sarah to lie or tell a half truth to keep him alive. I haven't looked into this carefully but it seems like the first time we see anybody going back and talking about us all coming from Noah is in the New Testament. I think there are a couple of lists of descendants i...

get ready Israel, here we go

 God creates a famine in Canaan where Israel is living with his 11 sons. Joseph his 12th and most favorite son is off in Egypt getting ready to save everybody from starvation. But Israel, his dad, doesn't know that, Israel thinks that Joseph is dead. So God creates this famine and essentially drives Israel down to Egypt looking for food. After some shenanigans by Joseph, he convinces the whole family to move to Egypt. So the point is God creates a famine, God provides food in Egypt, and God moves his chosen people out of the promised Land and into a pagan land that God wants to punish. Then God waits for everybody to die of old age, and then rather than having the people of Israel, now multiplying, move back to Canaan and back to the promised land where they belong, God has them stay and become victims of cruel Egyptian kings. You may have noticed that God is doing all this. So now God gets ready to bring the nation of Israel out of Egypt and back to the promised land where they b...
