There is teleportation in the Bible. Humanity just needs to up their game.

I want to hear more about biblical teleportation. I definitely missed that in Sunday school.

“Miraculous Transportation” is a more technically correct term, and it is not clear if it happens instantaneously or not. The boat in John 6:16 is immediately on the shore where they were headed, though this could mean very quickly. Same with Acts 8:26 when Philip is taken from the wilderness between Jerusalem and Gaza to another city.

Ugh. Now I’m going to have to break out the concordance and lexicons to sort through this issue. Thanks for your thoughtful and informed opinion.

Jesus did it after his resurrection too. Appeared in a locked room full of people. I think there’s at least one other instance that hasn’t been mentioned. It’s not like it’s common, but apparently it is in the realm of possibility.
Personally - and this goes to crazy theory BS, I wonder if the tower of Babel wasn’t trying to reach the stars not by building tall enough to exit the atmosphere, but rather by teleporting there? There are some crazy theories about the age and purpose of the pyramids (it’s super unlikely they were tombs). Could that have been it? I also wonder if levitation was in the mix. What if ancient man was ridiculously smarter than we are? We dismiss people living to 900+ years old, but if you lived that long and also knew Adam who walked with God, who knows what the fuck you could do? I know it’s crazy as anything but I don’t mind letting my brain go to crazy "what if"s.
