It's another contest and this one is definitely a bone to crack. I am so tempted to use my dictionary or run to google inorder to get a definition for the both and the difference but it's against the rules of the game so I'll try as much as possible to crack this my own way.
Magic and miracle.
Looking critically at both terms one would find out they have something in common and that is they bring about a change. The change could be a positive or a negative change but when miracle or magic happens, the situation or human never remains the same. Both magic and miracle makes use of powers. Both can be performed by humans.
What is magic?
Magic is something extraordinary by means of human mediation. Magic is metaphysical. Magic is demonic, diabolical, and the use of charms or natural things to surprise the scene and bring about extraordinary happenings. Magic is in two forms
- Employment of tricks and illusions example stage performances. This is actually a big industry and people are making so much money from it but at the end of ot the mechanism is given how what ever illusion they pulled happen.
- Demonic powers. This magic is real unlike the first and it is done to inspire fear or bring about the doom of people.
What is miracle?
Miracle is divine intervention in human or natural affairs. Miracles are brought about by humans and God. They are unnatural happenings beyond human comprehension. The Bible has a list of them like the axe head being made to float. The bones of Elisha waking the dead, dividing the red Sea and the list is endless.
Major difference between both miracle and magic is the source. Magic is demonic while miracle is divine
Another difference is miracle is unexpected whereas magic is pre-planned or expected. Magic can be predicted.
Miracle never fails and once it happens is forever whereas magic fails.
