Question for the non-believers?? No smart answers i was just curious about what u think???

Question

If there is no god what do think about miracles??

Answer 1

Whoa! You opened a Pandora's box here, my friend! I am a Christian. I haven't seen any miracles, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I think miracles are all around us, but we don't realize them at the time. Great question.

Answer 2

In case you're talking about the "miracles" Jesus supposedly did (are you? you don't say in your question), any man coming to claim the title of "Messiah" is NOT to do miracles, in fact if he does, they are to be ignored and not taken into account as far as any legitimacy for his claim (or his follower's claim) that he is the Messiah.

This is because:

1. Even the Egyptians could do "miracles" including raising the dead, make food appear, cure illness, etc.

2. Several sages in the Torah raised the dead long before Jesus, and they were not the Messiah. This shows that a person with the proper teaching and knowledge can raise the dead, and is thus not considered a miracle.

3. In the Final Days, the Anti-Messiah will do miracles to try to convince people that he is actually the Messiah. The Jews, who are trained NOT to look at miracles as proof of anyone being the Messiah, will not fall for this, but many non-Jews will since they believe that the "miracles" Jesus did are proof that he was the Messiah.

4. God instructed the Jews on Mt. Sinai that when any man comes to claim the position of Messiah, any miracles he may do are NOT to be taken into consideration - in fact if he does miracles to try to prove he is the Messiah, he is to be disqualified immediately.

This is because there is only ONE test that the real Messiah must pass, and that is the fulfillment of every single one of the 16 or so ORIGINAL and still true prophecies given by God on Mt. Sinai. And he must fulfill these DURING his lifetime. If he does not, if he dies, if for any reason at all he does not fulfill these prophecies, then he is not the Messiah. Period. And this is why Jesus did not qualify to be the Messiah.

I realise you didn't say you're speaking specifically about the "miracles" Jesus was supposed to have done, but just in case you were, I thought I'd give you information on that.

Answer 3

You have to first define "miracle." Isn't birth a miracle? No one can deny that people are born. Isn't each flower, each leaf, each beautiful sunrise a miracle? If that is your definition, meaning something wonderous and beautiful, then no one can deny the existence of miracles.

If, however, you are defining "miracle" to mean a case in which God intervenes in the natural world on behalf of those He loves, and does what would otherwise be unexplainable and impossible, I have never seen that happen and have no reason to believe that such miracles exist.

Every Christian, and many non-Christians, believe that they have seen or experienced such a miracle. They are in a bad car crash and survive, they have a disease that goes away for no apparent reason, they survive a natural disaster, and credit God for saving them. A skeptic, like myself, asks for evidence, if not proof, that God intervened.

There are millions of people, who have survived a serious car accident, who've mysteriously been cured from bad diseases, who've survived natural disasters, in ways that can be explained by natural causes, and all without God's help. This includes people of all faiths, not just Christianity, and people who do not believe in God at all.

There are many people who praise God for saving them from injury, death or property loss during hurricane Katrina or the California wildfires, and it comforts them to believe that God is taking care of them. One wonders, though, about all those Christians and other believers, who had faith in God, who died in those disasters. Why would God allow some to survive and others to perish? Is He unfair? Does He play favorites? Not according to the Bible. So God's intervention is not a logical or reasonable explanation for their survival. Certainly every one of these cases of survival, or death, can be explained with natural causes, the physical laws of nature. Perhaps one person who trusted God stayed in the path of the flood or flames, while another left, perhaps just in time. That is not a miracle, it is a result of a choice they made and the physical reality that people cannot survive without oxygen or in flames.

I've tried to answer your question respectfully and to give you some insight into why some people do not believe in miracles. If you do, and it gives you comfort to do so, then I am glad for you. However, I would strongly suggest that you not count on God or prayer, but on doctors, firefighters, and common sense to save you in the event of serious illness or other disaster.

Answer 4

For every amazing event that you can name, I can name another event where something horrible happened.

I mean, everyone always points to the cases where someone has a horrible illness and recovers, or is in a terrible car accident and survives. Well, what about the other person who had a horrible illness and DIDN'T recover? What about the other people who were in car accidents and DIDN'T survive?

They're nice stories to hear about, because I like hearing about people surviving from things and getting healed and recovering from seemingly hopeless situations, but really, they don't prove "miracles". Like I said, what about the people who DON'T make it out of those life-or-death situations? Did they not pray hard enough? Did God just not choose them to survive? What about them?

Answer 5

I believe that there are things that do happen that can't be explained and some people have decided to call those miracles.

I do not believe in miracles. If you do then please explain why the those in the holocaust didn't get any. I cannot begin to understand that way of thinking.

Answer 6

so you want a dumb answer?

you, like "jesus" can become the miracle, fill a need, be the change you wish to see in others and the world

think about that for a second, brighten someone's day as best you can, it will come back and some will say "it's a miracle"

Answer 7

What do I think? I think that there are no miracles--just events. Good and bad are subjective, and sometimes those events you deem as "good" had to happen against incredible odds. Just enjoy them! The next bad moment (and some of these had to happen against incredible odds, as well) is right around the corner.

Answer 8

Miracles aren't real in the sense that god did it.

Answer 9

We cause miracles to happen ourselves. A miracle is someone who hangs on and believes in HERSELF in what would have been her deathbed. Another miracle is a boy who says no to drugs because he knows its bad for him.

Answer 10

I think that miracles don't exist. Everything has an explanation, even if it's one that we do not yet understand. I have no need to give a supernatural origin to currently unexplainable events.
