>then it is a partner of God
Nope! An instance of speech can be uncreated while simultaneously not being eternal since it is spoken in time like the Quran was. If you deny this then you believe every time God speaks "Be!" to create something he has to create that act of speech by another first ad nauseam. You believe in infinite regress like atheists now? Also I never said it's not God's speech, I said it isn't the eternal attribute of speech. No part of the eternal nature of God is shared with anything
>the exact theological underpinnings that make God’s creation of and interaction with separate material entities possible
Nonsense logos theology. You believe God cannot directly interact with creation, how is he omnipotent? And anyway you have just conceded it is not the same theology, it's just pagan Plato's thought you are imposing onto us.
>fringe medieval garbage
No it isn't, that's just the belief that the relic itself is doing it. What most Christians believe is in the intercession of saints. I literally saw it with my own eyes in an eastern Orthodox church I visited. Christians lining up to touch the saint's body parts. Even the bible says holy men have power while they are dead 2 Kings 13:21 but of course just like with Jesus it all comes from God. But beside that the bible uses black stones from heaven to forgive sins too
>criticizing the Pharisees misunderstanding of the law
He does so because they are hypocrites who do not actually follow the law. They only preach it but don't actually abide by it themselves. They would rather follow the traditions of men, which is what Islam also criticizes them for.
