TheSkepticChristian Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 6 hours ago, Deborah said: Good grief. What is your point. God often works miracles through men and women who listen to the spirit. and how can I know that it is a miracle?
Gray Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 I think it should be obvious that God does not intervene. But, I don't think we need to say that a divine person has intervened to say that something is miraculous.

There are those who think some people look so hard for miracles in the unnatural that they fail to see it all around them in the natural. 1

Yes, I agree with that. We're so busy looking for angels that we miss the real miracles. Life, nature, the universe, all of that.
consiglieri Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Reminds me of a corny story I heard a long time ago, about a young woman who goes outside to find her grandmother staring up at the stars in the night sky and asks her, "Doesn't looking at the stars make you feel insignificant sometimes, Grandma?" "No," replies the Grandma, "Just grateful to be included in such a beautiful universe." 1

Gray Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 3 minutes ago, TheSkepticChristian said: So you don't believe in miracles by God? I believe life itself is the miracle. But no, I don't believe that God reaches down and supernaturally heals people or helps them find lost items.
TheSkepticChristian Posted January 6, 2016 Author Posted January 6, 2016 Just now, Gray said: I believe life itself is the miracle. in a infinite universe life is expected.
Gray Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 7 minutes ago, TheSkepticChristian said: in a infinite universe life is expected. Of course. It's still miraculous.
Zakuska Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 4 minutes ago, Gray said: Of course. It's still miraculous. If it only occuires on 1 planet. If there is inteligent life out there then the Miracle is very slightly diminished. Yet miraculous all the same.

If and when a miracle happens to you, you will know. Some say that the miracle receiver has a large "M" stamped on his/her forehead as a sign. I haven't been able to confirm this however.
