Coincidence or Miracle?
Have you ever experienced something that felt like so much more then just coincidence, that it felt as if it was a miracle from the Divine? What is a Miracle? Is there such thing? Do Pagans Believe in Miracles?

Coincidence ... miracle ... just different jargon for the same thing.
Yes, I think they are both divine - what makes them miraclulous is that because you NOTICED the odd coincidence, it now significance for you and can change something because of that.

I am Pagan for many years now and I believe that everything happens for a reason; there is no such thing as coincidence. The fact that we are sitting here on this beautiful planet is a miracle in itself. The God and Goddess are inexplicably generous to us and many of us don't respect the Earth enough to take care of Her.

Coincidence.....
Example: People call a rain shower or storm in a land that is in a drout a miracle. It's coincidence...Bound to happen sooner or later.
When cripples start walking and down syndrom children suddenly are healed then I will believe in miracles. Until then I'll get out and do for myself instead of waiting on unanswered prayers to a fictitious god.

miracles are a myth but what you are describing isn't a miracle it is fate something that is going to happen whether you want it to or not and very few can alter such things I have yet to meet someone who could although as for the pagans well only they could tell you if they do or not and even then it would vary from person to person.

There is no such thing as miracles. When people don't understand something then it becomes a miracle. Then again, why are only good happenings deemed as miracles and not the bad ones?

This pagan doesn't. Unless you define a miracle as something that happens that you can't explain. But that's just lack of education.

I believe that many things that we consider to be ordinary in life are in fact miracles. Every breath that my 4 year old son takes is a miracle, to be able to hear his voice tell me that he loves me is a miracle. Having everything we need to survive our time on this earth is a miracle to me. None of it is a coincidence, it was planned and given to us by God and He does perform miracles every day of our lives.

Nothing is coincidence. Miracles are in the eye of the beholder and they happen every day.

The only miracle I believe in is when someone turns from his wicked ways, becomes truly born again by the water and the Spirit (John 3:5), then is made a sinless and righteous child of God.
When someone like this prays God listens, for He only hears the prayers of a righteous man. This is the biggest miracle that can ever happen to us.
