Default Why is witchcraft the sole domain of Christianity?

Jesus rose from the dead.
He turned water into wine.
Cured the blind.
Fed the masses with a couple of fish and a loaf of bread.

If any other person claims this he/she is labeled a disbeliever/apostate/heretic. If another religious sect claims this they worship the devil. What gives with this sole dominance of magic?
Jesus was God? WTF?!!
I have read your Bible and it said that Jesus is the seed of God/god (spurn + egg) not his left hip. Son, as in off-spring.

Jesus is allowed to do those things, his sheep are not.

See, Christians will never admit that it's magic, they'll say it's the "love of God" or some bullshit like that. In reality, if Jesus actually did all the stuff the bible says he did, he was a wizard, no different from anyone the Christians persecuted for witchcraft. If they burned those people for doing "magic," they should have also burned their precious savior, because he's guilty of the same thing.

EDIT: Most Christians say that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all the same thing, even though they're different, so somehow, God, Jesus, and the "Holy Spirit" are all exactly the same. It's really confusing if you try to actually think about it. Something can't be exactly the same and completely different than something else at the same time, and because of that impossibility, the theory that they're all the same makes no sense. Pretty much, people will say "Jesus was God," and most of their fellow Christians agree with them, but, as always, they have nothing to support their argument.

witchcraft has nothing to do with Christianity

Jesus was god and performed the miracles you mentioned

witchcraft involves consulting with demons and casting spells which Jesus did neither

people typically use witchcraft/magic to get on a higher level of power, perhaps the same level as God i believe, and this is displeasing to Him for obvious reasons.

The Bible warns AGAINST any form of witchcraft.

False religion supports it.

In revelation ALL false religion is called Babylon the Great...
And this is what the Bible says...
Revelation 18; 4,5

GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE....

John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believer on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

I believe he was so identified with the spirit that drives us all that believing in him means knowing that spirit, not worshiping the man himself, after all he seemed to not even want people to call him good but people ignore that.

I speak of a life force beyond names, cultures, and religions although hints are everywhere in every culture and to some extent in all religions, it is what we all have in common, not some unique philosophy.

Blessed be to you my friend.

I wonder whether your question is sincere or just provocative?
If it is a genuine question, then the answer is simple - Jesus used his power as creator God to perform miracles, anything la belled 'witchcraft' or 'magic' would be an act performed by invoking some other sort of power. Jesus is called many things including the Son of God, however Christians believe that the Godhead comprises three elements which are Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Although this might be confusing, I trust you have no issue with understanding man as having several elements that could be described and mind, body and soul/spirit?? We are also called sons of God, and brothers with each other, so family language is frequently used where an actual physical family relationship is not established.
Man is made in the image of God in that he is a creature with a soul - an identity that continues after physical death.
Read the New Testament again and notice how Jesus often also tells those he has cured, that their sins are forgiven - this is a far greater thing that a physical cure. This is why the established religious leaders at the time were so shocked by what he did - the miracles are one thing, but whoever dared tell people their sins were forgiven? The real questions about Jesus are concerned with the authority by which he felt he could forgive sins - not by the miracles he performed...
