I believe in Miracles. I have not witnessed physical miracles, like somebody being healed (but things did happen that were very interesting, like answers to prayers, I remember 3 times that were really amazing to me.)

There is a show called "it's a miracle". It talks about many's people's experiences with miraculous events.

There are a multitude of people (if you listen) that have a story of a miracle to tell. I have heard from many people (including from my grandmother when she was young, she said that God closed the eyes of persecutors (during persecution) and they didn't see grandfather in a certain place even though they looked, it was like he was made invisible or their eyes have been blocked).

Do you believe in miracles?

Yes

Have you ever witnessed one?

Depends what you mean by miracle, which is a word that can mean one of several related things.

If you mean 'have I seen a supernatural event that can be scientifically confirmed to have been supernatural, and to have taken place' - no.

Under any number of broader understandings of the word, yes.

Everyday that we are here is a miracle. Every time a baby is born is a miracle and I have witnessed this twice. Everytime someone is saved by the blood of Jesus or baptized in the name of Jesus a miracle is happening. Look around you there are miracles everywhere everyday.

Most people think that miracles have to be big and dramatic but they are not always that way. There are small miracles everywhere we look.

Everytime a person is born again, it is a miracle. And yes, I have witnessed at least one (actually more than one).

It's not whether or not we believe miracles happen. It's whether or not we acknowledge that they do and did. We are given the Bible, and the Bible has proven to be true in various ways. See my quote from another thread...

I'm not even talking with the Bible, although that is certainly a credible source. Why? Well, just talking the NT alone, there are 24,000 manuscripts to it. But that doesn't mean a thing unless they are credible, consistant, and noncontradictory. They are credible because there are extrabiblical witnesses, as well as biblical witnesses that attest to Jesus' life. These sources are credible because there has been no scholarly accepted evidence to the contrary.

In other words, Scripture is reliable for those reasons, and because it is reliable we know miracles happen. But do we acknowledge that fact?

I've witnessed a miracle personally. Minor on the scheme of things, but a miracle and unexplainable nonetheless. I was recently having trouble with my ankle because I sprained it about this time last year, and asked God to fully heal it. Next day, it's fine. I don't know how to explain that other than to say prayer works. I also know other people who have been healed similarly.

If God exist then supernatural phenomena is plausable. Considering they are miracles I don't really expect to see one if not they wouldn't be miracles.

Absolutely!! Once I prayed for a lady who had 6 growths in her body, she was going to the doctor the next day so they could take samples to find out if they were malignant or not. The Holy Spirit impressed upon me while we were praying to tell her that when she goes to the doctor, they won't find anything. Sure enough, they didn't find anything and she continues to be healthy today. That is just one example I have personally witnessed. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever; if he was ever our healer, then he still is today.

I've seen people who think Christianity is nothing but a misguided mistake who can't seem to pull themselves away from discussing it.

You have any reasonable explanation for that?

It should be understood that Jesus' miracles were not in a vacuum. He was not the only Jewish man in the name of the Lord to heal people, cast out demons, and etc...There other accounts of similar events ascribed to Jesus' contemporaries. Now, Jesus’ might deeds had a specific symbolic meaning.

In my own life, there are things that occurred that did not have any other reason other than God specifically doing it. For instance, I was traveling through a mountain pass and I saw a curve that I had traveled many times, but on this time I felt a strong pull to take out the shoulder of the road during this curve. While I was in the middle of the curve, a diesel took out most of my lane and would have killed me easily, but since I was in the shoulder I was ok. Either the foresight was from my own rational brain (not reasonable), just a thankful convenient occurrence (possible if something like that occurred once but does not truly explain the feeling), or it was from force outside of me taking care of me. Faithfully, I know it was God. There are many other times and things…

If the media would report the good deeds people are doing instead of only the bad and shocking, then you would definitley see a miracle there.

There is a website that reports only good news. It is called "The Good News Network". I do not have enough posts to send you the link so you will have to Google it. It is an inspirational site!

As far as miracles are concerned. My feeling is this:

Everyday I feel something in my heart is a miracle. It's not a magic show. I wake up and thank God for the life that I have been given. It is a gift! The ability to make and understand choices, the notion that I am not alone, and the fact I can communicate with others about the gift of life. These are miracles. The size of a miracle does not matter and, in fact, it is silly to even try to apply "size". The works of God are immeasurable. God works in all sorts of ways and is at work all the time.

Let's hear it for our Lord working 24-7 for us!!!

That is simple, your misguided mistake adversely affect others so that is why it is discussed so much.
