Answer 1

Yes do believe in miracles.
It means an unusual happening, on that goes against the normal laws of nature. Miracles are done by the power of God.
Luke 4 Jesus healed several people by touching them with His hand some of fever, some of demon's that possessed them. Luke 5 Jesus do more miracles of healing the sick (Leprosy and Paralysis). Luke 5 says that Jesus healed people who had congenital abnormality's. Luke 7 Jesus raised the dead. Luke 8 Jesus calemed the storm and agein heals in respons to faith as well as casting out Demons. Luke 9 is where Jesus increased the bread and fish to feed five thousend people. He also agein heal the Demon possessed. Luke 13 Jesus heals the crippled.. Most of Luke is about the healing miricles Jesus did. In today's life it still happens and if you beliefe it is possible. God gave us his word that He is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow and if Jesus send out His disiples to go and preach the good news and to heal the sick we can do it today. God Bless

Answer 2

1. To me a miracle can happen everyday. The sun rising each morning, the birth of a newborn child, the healing of an illness, someone who does not believe in God finding God.

2.First by the raising of His friend Lazarus. In biblical times the dead were left in the tomb for 3 days before the final anointing would take place. Jesus made Lazarus rise on the 4th day, a day that the people would know for sure that the dead were dead and not merely unconscious

3.healing miracles can and do happen everyday. I have first hand experience with a health healing that no one can contribute to doctors or medicine. God healed me.

4.I believe they do happen everyday

Answer 3

1) Miracles are anything beyond the comprehension of a Christian, like sunflowers, puppies and VCR programming.

2) Jesus' miracles were mostly copied from Kings I & II. Read about Elijah and Elishah. Ever hear of Plagiarism? The Gospel writers had the books open while they were copying the stories.

3) A scam perpetrated on simple minds by snake oil salesmen.

4) They never happened, and these days there are fewer people willing to fall for the nonsense.

Answer 4

I consider you. A miracle is a occurring that defies logical clarification and is hence attributed to divine intervention. There must be a God as a fashion to have miracles. God is a God of miracles and miracles stick to faith. If the international has ceased to have miracles, it is via the fact they have ceased to have self belief. I even have seen miracles in my life and comprehend that they exist.

Answer 5

Yes I do.

Miracles are gods intervention.

Healing miracles are miracles that heal peoples bodies or drive out demons.

Healing miracles do happen today. Christian book stores are full of books filled with testimonies and people that have been healed, as well as churches.

Answer 6

You can answer #1 from the dictionary and #2 from the bible. #3 and #4 you have to express yourself -- I doubt there's a wrong answer, and the questions have nothing to do with "do you believe in miracles".

Answer 7

A miracle to me is hope when all hope is lost.
