IMO
A miracle is simple draw a triangle with its angles measuring up to 360 degrees that is a miracle!

I locked myself out of my room this afternoon. I had to get a project in by 2 this afternoon and it was around 1:30. I was about to head to school to go and plead with the prof. when my landlord walked in to show the empty rooms to some new students starting next term. luckily for me he had a spare key to my room. This guy lives 4 hours away. Had I said a little prayer before he showed up, that may have just been a miracle, or at least divine intervention. If I were a Christian I might even use it as testimony in church on sunday. But i'm not religious. .  so I was just lucky.

My Aunt survived breast cancer and she prayed the whole time. She went through Chemo and all that and it was a horrible experience for her husband and kids but they came through it. . . that may be a miracle.  But there are several cancer survivors at the old-age home i volunteer at that are not religious at all.   But how do I convince my aunt that her "healing" was not a miracle? I don't think it was, but as someone that witnessed what her and her family went thru, and someone who desperately wanted her to get better, I appreciate what her faith gave her in terms of courage and perserverance.

This religion shit is complicated. . . it is in too deep in the system and i just don't see it going anywhere anytime soon.

Epi:

The only person who walked this earth and performed Miracles was JC.  I am saying this, because when JC performed miracles, folks were INSTANTLY miraculously healed.

Has anyone of you PERSONALLY seen/witnessed (with your two big eyes) instant miracle the way JC did?.  Abeg, please don't come tell me "oh well we prayed and he got better the following day/week or I saw it on teewee with my own two eyes.  trust me, I don't want to hear it.

the only miracle I know of is life because life itself is a miracle.

ladygaga:

I dnt thnk u can hide miracles(i duno if pastors real/fake,its bw God and them none of
My business)
But all the ppl dat jesus christ healed WENT to him, and he healed them when he saw thier FAITH, miracles wldnt hav bn recorded in d bible if they werent a big deal, he never healed ppl dat werent ready to b healed, if d ppl in UCH really wanto be healed,i bet they knw wot to do,or u thnk dey all are believers,ehn?!
i am nt sayn there arent fake pastors
There has to be An ORIGINAL b4 a Fake, lets all think b4 we blab,

agitator:

Why is it that miracles are always performed on strangers, like the dumb speaking, deaf hearing, lame walking. Why not on somebody you know that has been disabled? Just a question. When Jesus Performed miracles people who knew the beneficiaries used to ask them how were you able to walk, speak, see etc>

@fyneguy
Can you honestly say your crooked pastor is not reaping finacial rewards occasioned from increased patronage achieved through the advertisement of his staged miracles?

[color=#550000]This is a major contradiction.
If you have faith and believe he indeed performed those miracles, why can't you do the same for the "anointed men of God"?

Epi:

Are you saying that the Son of God is on the same level as these magicians. Anyway, the mere fact that you quoted "anointed men of God" tells me you don't believe the hype

I can say more but an unexpected guest (3 days early) just show up
