Are Miracles Really Possible?—Three Common Objections
OBJECTION 1: Miracles are impossible because they violate the laws of nature. Our understanding of the laws of nature is based on what scientists have observed happening in the natural world around us. However, those laws are similar to the grammar rules for a language—there may be some exceptions to the rule. Our understanding of these “rules” may, in fact, be very limited. ( ) A dedicated scientist may have spent a lifetime studying a certain law of nature. But all it takes is one “exception” for him to have to reevaluate his understanding of that law. As the saying goes, “Just one black swan undoes the theory that all swans are white.”
A humorous story illustrates how easy it is to base an opinion on incomplete facts. John Locke (1632-1704) related this story about the Dutch ambassador and the king of Siam: While describing his country, Holland, to the king, the ambassador mentioned that at times it was possible for an elephant to walk on water. The king rejected the idea and felt that the ambassador was lying to him. However, the ambassador was merely describing something that was beyond the king’s personal experience. The king did not realize that when water freezes and becomes ice, it can support the weight of an elephant. This seemed impossible to the king because he did not have all the facts.
Consider some modern accomplishments that may have been considered impossible just a few decades ago:
● An airplane can transport more than 800 passengers nonstop from New York to Singapore, traveling at a cruising speed of 560 miles per hour (900 km/h).
● Video conferences can enable people on different continents to engage in face-to-face conversations.
● Thousands of songs can be stored on a device smaller than a box of matches.
● Surgeons can transplant hearts and other body parts.
What logical conclusion can we draw from such facts? This: If humans can accomplish feats that just a few years ago seemed impossible, then surely the God who created the universe and all that is in it can perform amazing acts that we do not yet fully understand or cannot presently replicate. — .
OBJECTION 2: The Bible relies on miracles to make people believe. The Bible does not tell us to believe all miracles. In fact, the opposite is true. The Bible warns us to be very careful when it comes to trusting miracles and powerful signs. Notice this clear warning: “The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives.”—
, New International Version.
Jesus Christ also warned that many would claim to follow him but would not be his genuine followers. Some would even say to him: “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?” ( , NIV ) But Jesus said that he would not accept those people as his followers. ( ) Obviously, then, Jesus did not teach that all miracles are from God.
God does not tell his worshippers to base their faith simply on miracles. Rather, their faith should be firmly established on facts.— .
Let us consider, for example, one of the well-known miracles recorded in the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Years after that event, some Christians in Corinth started to question whether Jesus had been resurrected. How did the apostle Paul help those Christians? Did he simply say, “Have more faith”? No. Notice how he reminded them of established facts. He stated that Jesus “was buried, yes, . . . he has been raised up the third day according to the Scriptures; and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that he appeared to upward of five hundred brothers at one time, the most of whom remain to the present.”— .
Did it matter whether those Christians believed in that miracle? Paul goes on to say: “If Christ has not been raised up, our preaching is certainly in vain, and our faith is in vain.” ( ) Paul did not take the matter lightly. Either the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus was true or it was not! And Paul knew that it was true because of the hundreds of eyewitness accounts of people who were still living at that time. In fact, those eyewitnesses were willing to die rather than deny what they had seen.—
.
OBJECTION 3: Miracles are just natural phenomena that are misunderstood by uneducated people. Some scholars try to explain the miracles in the Bible as merely natural events that occurred without divine intervention. They feel that this makes the Biblical accounts more believable. While it is true that natural phenomena may have been associated with some miracles—such things as earthquakes, plagues, and landslides—these explanations have one thing in common. They disregard the timing of the miracle as explained in the Scriptures.
For example, some have argued that the first plague brought upon Egypt, the turning of the Nile River into blood, was actually the result of red soil that had been washed down the Nile, along with reddish organisms called flagellates. However, the Bible account says that the river was turned into blood, not red mud. A careful reading of shows that this miracle occurred at the time that Aaron, at Moses’ direction, struck the Nile River with his rod. Even if the transformation of the river were caused by a natural occurrence, the timing of Aaron’s striking the river was in itself miraculous!
As another example of the importance of the timing of a miracle, consider what happened when the nation of Israel was poised to enter the Promised Land. Their way was blocked by the Jordan River at flood stage. The Bible account tells us what happened next: “At the instant that the carriers of the Ark came as far as the Jordan and the feet of the priests carrying the Ark were dipped in the edge of the waters . . . , then the waters descending from above began to stand still. They rose up as one dam very far away at Adam.” (
) Was this the result of an earthquake or a landslide? The account does not say. But the timing of this event was miraculous. It occurred exactly at the time Jehovah had said that it would.— .
So, then, are there such things as miracles? The Bible says that there are. According to what it tells us, these are not just natural phenomena. Really, then, is it logical to say that it is impossible for them to happen just because they do not occur every day?

You just performed a miracle.... It's a great miracle that people who think like you do still exist today

Cokenbread:
Hello my people

Let me go straight to the point; I have a problem...
Sometime around June last year, I started dating a girl. First it started like a harmless friendship to that.

She told me she had a boyfriend back at home but since I wasn't always seeing her call d guy, I assumed maybe it was not a very serious something.

Fast forward...We started dating, Found out the guy was like their family friend that sort of had her parents approval, it pained me o but I just had to swallow it since it is very unlikely we'll get married simply because we are both in the same level in School and the guy was already working. We've had some minor fights and all but we're still good. I love her, I think she loves me too.

A few days ago, we were talking over the phone and the devil himself led me to ask her to be sincere with me, if something happened between her and the guy during d last X-mas break(we had already talked about this before and her reply then was NO) lo and behold she told me Yes and her excuse for not initially telling me the truth is cos "she didn't want to hurt me" I asked her how many times and she told me 3 times.. PS, the break only lasited 10 days.

After telling me that, she started explaining things like She prefers it with me, She doesn't like it with him no more, that she just had to do it so he won't suspect that anything is wrong, this one, that one. But the fact still remains that the deed has already been done...


I don't know what to do, given that I still love her... I'm really at crossroads here...It seems I can't get over it..Anytime I look at her, all I see is her having it with another person



Abeg if u no get better talk for me, swerve

I've helped a lot of persons, and it's not for daily bread, but to stand on their own.

You think you can do 700 words three times daily and still have time to get a life?

Trust me, the best you can write on the listed niche categoreis are 5 posts each, with lots of blanks.

You won't even have time for a keyword research. Then after two/three weeks, you're told you're shooting blanks.

If you need help, talk!

Stop shouting 'who have I helped' anyhow.

I need help to shut you up with your pride. My dear check my posts and threads... I make money daily with bitcoin, binary, captcha and fiverr... I got someone to write 700 articles for me already so this is just for extra harmless cash.... I am going to create a business model that will pay Nigerians one day to write but not with your kind of attitude. Simply move on. If I needed help I know those who are giants in online business in Nigeria and they don't act like you.

Am interested @9k for both. Can pay tomorrow if you like. But you must keep your end of the verification bargain

VocalWalls:
Slaves.

If you can write 90 articles of up to 700 words in a month, why not open your own blog and be your own boss?

Well are not slaves but we do know that the way to the top is to serve. You who isn't a slave... Who have you helped... And how much have you made that you accuse another who is making a difference.

Why spread foreign lies here when even your own parents didn't marry early. See it is God that gives life and protects.... Marrying early can make you poor quickly... And also a divorcee early... Your lies tho scientific are also epic and untrue. Yes you got the age thing right but look around you.... This is naija where jamb jambs you for a year or two.... Time delay is never an issue because in naija it becomes a testimony when you eventually give birth... Enemies from village don't care if you marry at 18 if they wanna delay you they will do it without checking Google map.... Its all about life n God o. Lastly it is not the time you marry that matters but the season that matters... If you are broke and marry there is high chance to remain broke cos of the demands.... But if you are not poor then growth is sure. My bro it's the quality of life that matters...

the power of the mind is serious!

do not be conformed to the thinking pattern of this world and it's system but be transformed by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND.... ROMANS 12:2

How are you so ignorant in this day and time..... Did the disciples celebrate Pentecost? Chai!!!!! How is it that we are so deceived in this country yet we all have bibles... But some of you read your mind into your bibles..... Those celebrating the Pentecost were the confused guys who were asking if the apostles were drunk... The pentecostal folks missed the Holy ghost cos they were not in the upper room. Only those in the upper room got filled with the Holy ghost. Pls read your bibles the book of acts chapter two again.

It's is spiritual illiteracy to claim to be a pentecostal in this day and time. Finally the pentecostal practice is from Judaism and never from Christianity.... Pentecost means 50 and at that time Christianity was not yet in operation.

Open your bibles and open your mind and see it for yourselves. Let's not be reading our minds into the word of God.

I know am going to hell for all my doubts, but i have to say this. 'For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son to die for us' but why are we still suffering if Jesus already took away all our sins? 'God is omniscient, he knows everything' but why did he allow satan to deceive eve nd adam?....because of all these doubts some thoughts came to my mind.. Did God cast all evil virtues onto lucifer who was next to him? How did lucifer develop jealousy?.....even Jesus asked God why He forsaked him on the cross of calvary.
Which begs the question Who is God?

Why not at least make heaven and ask him yourself.... Why go to hell for all eternity just for unanswered questions that will still not be answered if you end up in hell. God is love but what we know about love is just a fragment of it... Am not defending God but stating the obvious... Your teachers in primary and secondary school were never always fair from your childish view back then but now if you were in their shoes you might do same... Until you enter heaven u may blame God all you want but you will just see the big picture and love him more. We do not know and we are not taught about how God corrects or teaches angels... Lucifer being close to God was never Next to God.. So he had privileges he misused and remember with great power comes great responsibilities hence he had to be dealt with... Besides we now know that the devil has never asked to be forgiven... This is the root of pride. Pls always know that God has no slaves... He gave angels and men the gift of CHOICE... So we are responsible for the way the world is today... And he is trying to help make it better but he will not force his way or try to force you to believe him.. That's why he is God. Now about Adam and eve... Pls I have to ask... Do you make a product or device or even a software without testing it to know it's vulnerabilities??. God has to allow Adam name the animals and he did very well... God didn't help him name them... God was testing his product... Now when the serpent whom Adam had earlier named came to eve... God was not scared cos he expected Adam to deal with the serpent just as he was created to do... Man had a choice and he fell for it and was not deceived but chose wilfully to eat the fruit hence SIN came into the world... God had to plan how to correct this flaw in his creation and he came down himself to correct it and only those who accept him get the Antivirus to clean up Adam's mess.... But as we all know to this day... Not every one accepted it and that's why the world is still as it is. God is Love... But the human Love definition is not God. Our definition is incomplete. I don't know it all... But I hope you get cleared and make heaven... I too do not want to go to hell.

As far as this statement was made in the bible goes
"we were made in the own image of God" means.....what exactly?

It means there was a scanner and we were all put through the scanner when we give our lives to christ and we come out in His image... Colored 3d print

Because the cost and standard of living in the village or rural areas is far too low compared with the city urban areas. And also values are different.

Every ondo state family must have a doctor or a professor.... Don't you know... So if you know what's good for you and considering the economy of naija... Study a course that will help you be your own boss and also help you become a professor. Don't slack. Your parents know you are intelligent.
