Are there miracles still happening today?

Question

THAT ARE NON-MEDICAL OR ABOUT ANGELS??

if there are still happening today, gimme something like when jesus supposedly walked on water.

three things in response:

1. the poor gas lady. you DID NOT physically see how much gas you had in your tank. you ASSUMED. and when you had more gas than what you assumed you had, you explain it as AN ACT OF GOD?? what???

2. stupid eyeglasses story. hey buddy, do you know the person with the "cured eyesight"? you knew him for 10 years, and that he was near-sighted or whatever, had glasses all the time, went to the eye doctors, and talked to him after his cure? .... are you that gullable??

3. i hate when people say "yes! i've seen miracles with my own eyes"...and that's it. what was the miracle??? and don't say "have faith and you'll see".....faith is a belief that based without logical proof or material evidence. that's the definition.

people need to get a clue.

Answer 1

There were never any miracles, religious, angel-related, or otherwise.

Just people who let their enjoyment of fiction get way out of hand.

You'll get answers from people who say that there are. Those answers will be of two types:

1 - pointing to non-miraculous things that really DO occur, and calling them miracles, and
2 - making up false and suspiciously unverifiable tales about things that do not occur.

Those who point to the fake ones (#2) will likely be more insistent and sure of themselves, in the apparent hope that we won't notice that they're lying.

I'd be pleasantly surprised to see anything more reasonable than those.

Later: Oh, wait, Jimbo did give a nice response. How about that? I agree, mostly. I also wonder how they fail to notice that putting emphasis on miracles means that you're denigrating faith. If you've got faith, why do you need miracles? If you've got miracles, you don't need faith. The two simply don't go together.

Answer 2

What surprises me is the emphasis people put on Jesus performing miracles. They say, 'he walked on water, so that means everything he said was true because he could perform miracles'. What does walking on water have to do with anything? David Copperfield walked through the great wall of china, but that doesnt make him God, now does it? I think life itself is a miracle. There are a million things we dont know about life and will never know and to me, something that happens without explanation is considered a miracle, or supernatural.

Answer 3

These parlor tricks that we read about in the bible were not really miracles at all. They are more like magic.

The real miracles take place in peoples lives.
This was a miracle to me.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 4

"A sock" thought he was being funny when he stated that it must be a miracle that he has not been kicked off of Yahoo Answers.

A miracle is something that only can be done by God. God gave the moderators the compassion and kindness to allow A Sock to remain on these boards.

Answer 5

I was quite poor. I did not have enough gas in my car to get to a meeting and back home. I went to the meeting on fumes. When I got back in my car, I had a quarter of a tank of gas. No I did not misread the fuel gauge. No it wasn't broken. I just had more gas. That was a miracle, a small miracle, but one nonetheless. Thank you Lord.

Answer 6

Well you say non-medical, but I don't think this is medical related since we weren't in a hospital.
Any who the story, at my church camp last year we were having praise and worship and this kid just came on stage with his brother and he announced his brother's vision was totally cured he didn't need glasses anymore. And for the rest of the week I never saw him wear his glasses.

Answer 7

No. Nor have they ever happened depending on your definition. My definition of a miracle is something that defies the laws of physics.

Answer 8

It's a miracle I haven't been kicked off yet.

Answer 9

It's a miracle when someone sees light without shadow and hears the sound of silence.

I knew a Angel once who when to college to become a doctor. . .
