Whether they believe in it or not, the true fact is that most modern day miracles are scams. Any pastor that knows he can perform miracles like in the so-called olden days should go to the hospitals and mortuaries where there are enough infirm and dead people awaiting their 'miracle'. Nonsense.

I just got to know of this yesterday.

They believe that the power to perform miracles by Christians ended with the first century Christians.
I'm still surprised.

Sweetheart pls do not believe everything u see on the internet. Some people go out of their way to manipulate facts and make things appear the way they really are not. Jehovah's witnesses encourages their members to pray for those in dire circumstances including the sick ones. They believe in miracles, miracles happen everyday. what they don't believe in is "faith healing". They also encourage their members to seek the best medical care when they are sick. Even then, as a matter of fact, taking drugs is not a guarantee, it's only the grace of God that can make you functional again.. That sweetheart, is a miracle in itself...

I will rephrase Redoil's question.....


Are you sure they are true Christians? When massive alcoholic consumption and fornication is their middle name?
if they are not true Christians do the so called true Christians don't also engage themselves in immoral acts?

How can you think cheaply like this? Who is your role model? Where did u read in the bible or anywhere, that Jesus Christ, the Father of all miracles went to a sick bay or mortuary for the purpose of show offs? Guy, you can do better, even life itself is serious... my kobo!

I like their style. If all Christians can be devoted to preach the gospel, Muslim would have all been converted to Christianity.
I LOVE JEHOVAH. I LOVE JESUS CHRIST!!!!!
And if all Muslims could be devoted to preach the Islam like ACADIP, Christians would have all been converted to Islam. Islam, a true way of living.

Jesus ain't my role model because I refuse to be brainwashed by your 'Daddy G.Os'. And I am sure you know that your 'kobo' is worthless and valueless in today's Nigeria so why are you expecting me to accept it? Abeg save it.

A JW will rather seek the help of witch doctors than pray for miracle. I was once advised by one JW woman to rub some charms in my lips for job interview success and i looked at her astonishingly but said since am not yet a baptized brother that there's nothing wrong with that.

You don't have to be so bitter because you don't believe in miracles. grin
Being bitter won't make miracles fake. Though there are lots of scammers in the Christiandom today but that doesn't say Geniune Miracles are not happening.
And
You don't need a pastor to get a miracle from God, that is what the Jehovah's witnesses don't know. I know I have received miracles from God many times without going to a pastor.

But instead of castigating them, let us pay attention to their reason, after all they are Christians too and the way these new age pastors are performing this miracle is smth else

You are the one who see them as Christians they don't see you as one.

Jehovah witness are evidence based people. They try to use science to explain everything.

God doesn't work like that, God says believe and you shall see.

Jehovahs witness says "See then believe" they do not believe anything unless there is a scientific explanation for it

CAN THE ABILITIES TO PERFORM MIRACLES COME FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE APART FROM GOD?

YES.... remember the case of Moses when he went before Pharaoh .... God directed him to throw down his roof and it became a snake.... the magic priests of Egypt also threw theirs and they became snakes..... by whose power??

Jesus also made it clear that in the last days..."many false Christs and false prophets will arise and give great signs and wonders to mislead if possible, even the chosen ones" (Matt 24:24)

ARE THE MIRACLES BEEN PERFORMED TODAY DONE IN THE SAME WAY JESUS AND HIS EARLY DISCIPLES DID??

COST OF SERVICES: Jesus said at Matthew 10:8 "cute sick people, raise up dead persons, make lepers clean, expel demons.. you received free, give free" ......can that be said of healers today??

RATE OF SUCCESS: Luke 6:19....Jesus healed ALL who came to him...ALL who touched him

Acts 5:15,16.....even Peter's shadow healed people... whatever sickness they brought..."THEY WOULD BE ONE AND ALL CURED"

ARE TRUE CHRISTIANS TODAY IDENTIFIED BY THEIR ABILITY TO DO HEALING?

John 13:34,35.....Jesus clearly stated that love would be the identifying marks of true Christians .....LOVE not ABILITY TO PERFORM MIRACLES

Acts 1:18 shows that Holy Spirit will empower true followers of Christ to preach to the most distant part of the earth

ARE THOSE TWO SCRIPTURES NOT BEEN FULFILLED BY JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES TODAY??

We look forward to a time when healing will be completely performed by God himself.... according to REVELATION 21:1-4.... ISAIAH 25:8 and ISAIAH 33:24


O.P here's plausible reasons why JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES do not align with the healings performed today....I hope this helps

and read your Bible more

First, it depends on your definition of d word"miracle". For me, life itself is a miracle. But if u refer to d scam churches perform ( supposed healing of d sick etc) as miracle, den I would call dat "staged miracle". Do a little research and tank me later. I wonder y some would swallow every misconceptions abt J.witnesses hook line and sinker wout at least making some extended research. Here are some few questions to stimulate your thinking :
1. do these supposed miracles follow Jesus' methods?
2. Wat is d motive behind d so called miracles?
3. y is Dat most sick ones would still leave d presence of Dis miracle performers d same way d were if not worse?
4. y can't d resurrect d dead abi dat one no follow for miracle?
5. y do these miracle performers run to d hospital Wn dey have a little headache?
6. do u know dat MOST of these miracle performers have a link with some medical laboratories? U know d reason right! So dat after claiming u are healed, d ask u to go for lab investigations in a specific lab knowing fully well dat d result would be influenced in deir favor...
I can go on and on. This needs logical reasoning to answer even without a scripture.

They are lobotomized. A friend of mine who is a witness told me that miracles are false. That there is nothing like miracle. One fateful night, her few months nephew fell sick, and at the point of death. My friend brought out her Bible, opened Psalm 91, and prayed incessantly until the child health normalised. In the morning, when she came to work,she told me how God used her. That she didn't sleep last night. That God is powerful and merciful for answering her prayers last night. I told her you don't believe in miracles but you're sharing testimony of what God did for your family last night. I told her to pray for more divine encounters instead of following church doctrines...
one major reason why this country is bleeped. A child was sick..They didnt take her to hospital. They brought out bible. Assuming the baby stopped breathing now, they will take the baby to hospital and blame the doctor that certified him dead saying they should have given the baby oxygen. If such a baby is sick abroad do u think they will start with psalm.91 when they had good healthcare. Continue deceiving yourself if this is what you call miracle.

It doesn't matter what people believe. Fact is, miracle doesn't happen anywhere except in nollywood movies and church dramas stage managed by pastors. If miracle is real, Ayefele would have been able to walk a long time ago and Cobhams won't still be blind by now.
they will say they do not have faith..... religion is really the opium of the masses

Probably if you know the purpose why Jesus Christ and his apostles performed miracles you will know why.
