Apparently, Just One More Parlor Trick

By what basis of evidence is there to believe that Jesus performed a trick ?

How 'bout the Copperfield routine, as an earlier poster put it? If Jesus is the son of God with supernatural power the clay and spit paraphernalia are obviated, as has been pointed out to you repeatedly. It is not unreasonable to ask why they are used in this "miracle". The fact that they are used even though they are not needed would seem odd to most anyone, except for the sort of person who does not question anything found in the bible. I thank God every day that I am not that sort of person.

WILLOWTREE bleats:

That is your subjective opinion based upon the claims of previous posters.

Subjective? How so? I say that if Jesus is indeed the son of God and is endowed with supernatural powers, then no clay-and-spit routine is necessary to heal blindness. If Jesus is not the son of God and is not endowed with supernatural powers, then no clay-and-spit routine ever could heal blindness. This reasoning is so irreducible that not even the simplest logic is required to perceive it.Quit the bromides about my "subjective opinion" and explain to me how it is that the clay and spit routine could, under any circumstances whatsoever, possibly be necessary to Jesus in order that he might heal blindness.
