  Ken P. If God wanted all people to hear the gospel don't you think he could perform a miracle to accomplish this? But He is Ken!!! There are missionaries who are carrying out God's will. The gospel is being preached to people all over the world. ...even to tribes people in Peru who have set up a church now waiting for the missionaries to return. By the way ....an example of what happened there... The mother brought her baby to the missionaries for prayers. The baby was in a coma for some days. As soon as the missionaries finished praying the baby started to move and cry!!!! This is true. They are missionaries from the church I attend. They are risking thier lives doing what they are doing but by faith they are doing it.

  I'll consider it a miracle if I can pee next Wednesday when they remove my catheterization bag. Having faith can cure you completely - miracles. It can be done. The small thing is to repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour with your whole heart. That's all. God will ease your pain in times of trouble....the world would forsake you but not God uh uh.

  eugenie scott of the national center for science education has written a retraction, after being slapped with a libel suit.

  ) published by jehovah's witnesses.

  Golden girl:

  I would love to believe in miracles! But I have seen too many ask for a miracle and too little receiving one. I do not think a loving god would do that. Many that deserve one don't get it and many that don't deserve it get many..just the way life is.

  Thus the song..the rich get rich and the poor get poorer..ain't we got fun...If god is performing those miracles..he has a twisted sense of humor!

  Hello Snoozy,

  As I had posted earlier.....God is sovereign. God is not a pawn.

  Miracles do happen but they don't happen to everyone, no matter how hard as we may pray.

  When love-ones die from diseases and accidents even though we love the Lord and pray with all our heart for a miracle, we just have to leave the outcome with the Lord.

  Sometimes love-ones are cured miraculously and live a full life. Other times they pass away or live very miserable lives. We don't know the answers and reasons why some things happen.

  But God's grace and love is sufficient in times of deep pain.

  opinions please

  by Ellie in

  2. friends

  would you all please give me your honest opinions.. if you were in a relationship with someone who through alcohol had let you down badly in the past, how would you feel about them going out a lot?.

  how much freedom would you give them?.

  would you think it reasonable for them to either go out without you once a week, sometimes staying out all night but certainly till very late?.

  That's really sad.

  I understand how you feel. I really do.

  Continue to do the things that are meaningful to you. It's better to keep your head on than to spite the person...because you'll end up feeling worse. It makes no sense trying to get back at the person.

  You do what is best for you. Do the things you like to do and want to accomplish. Don't put yourself in danger. Be alert and try to see if you can talk to the person about getting help. Alcohol damages relationships. There is hope though. God is good.

  Listen....IF GOD BRINGS YOU TO IT HE WILL BRING YOU OUT OF IT! Prayers can also help you to keep your peace of mind. People can change. It happens.... a complete turnaround. Pray.

  Remember you didn't do anything wrong. If you really want out try not to be too available. Be careful. Go for a holiday somewhere...maybe if you can go by a relative or something. If things get worse talk to the person's closest relatives to keep him away. If not you'd have to take police protection if it gets bad. Take care of yourself love.

  Terry:

  You are building your reasoning process on the ability to explain. To explain you must have full information. When people don't have ALL the information necessary they cannot explain. That is when the category of MIRACLE becomes useful.

  That is not true...only your opinion

  Look back through history and you'll find human ignorance ending when data is discovered and this is followed by a MIRACLE disappearing!

  What kind of data are you talking about? What does a miracle have to do with that anyways?

  It was once believed the brain's purpose was to cool the body (Aristotle). The Egyptians preserved every part of the human body EXCEPT the brain! In your case, they were correct. You have to use that thing in your head correctly if you want to reach valid conclusions.

  PEOPLE DON'T EVEN USE A FULL 1/4 OF THEIR BRAINS' CAPACITY

  Angels don't push the sun around the earth anymore. You want to know why? The motion of the planets was discovered to be gravitational. Poof! Bye-bye angels. Now the Earth goes around the sun! Now that is a miracle. Only god could make such a transition!

  Who said angels pushed the sun around?

  What is the binding force of an atom?

  u/d:

  Once again..."it happened to ME, so it must be real"... What about all the people who go to Maui...and die...or get injured... You sure don't see the good things do ya?

  What about the Scientific Method? Admit it... you LIKE and WANT to believe it...so it's so... Science does not have all the answers. Not everything is about science

  There is no "proof" other than what can easily be explained away... but that doesn't support your belief WANT, so it's conveniently expunged...and labeled a "miracle"... Explained by whom? Mere man who don't have a clue himself??

  I'm sure Bin Laden believes it a "miracle" that he was able to pull off the Twin Towers "job" and PROOF of Allah's "blessing" on His people....UGGGH!!! That is terrorism - don't get tied up!

  Ever heard the saying every cloud has a silver lining?

  Ever heard the saying When one door closes God opens a window???

  Sometimes things happen for a reason can you explain why?

  What is the most positive thing have you accomplished in your life? What purpose do you serve?

  U/d:

  Trust me, a real "miracle" would be an easy sell... if they really were happening.

  Trust me they are happening right under your nose.

  Are Miracles Real?

  by Paul Pearsall, Ph.D.

  

  A miracle happened in Maui. I died. I was near death three times. I came back. I wrote the first edition of this book more than ten years ago, just after Maui had breathed the sacred ha, the breath of life, back into my body. As a clinical psychologist and behavioral medicine researcher living on Maui, I had always sensed it was a magical and spiritual place, but I had toned down my sharing of my excitement so as to avoid mockery from my skeptical and often cynical colleagues. As miracles do, mine changed all that.
