Do you believe in miracles? ( Archived) (88)

Medicine is a science as you know and nothing is for certain. Lots of things doctors don't understand. Just because something happens that you don't understand scientifically why something has happened doesn't mean it was God.

Which takes me back to previous question. Why would he help an old person or someone who doesn't have faith and let children die or let them starve.

I do believe in God but the one I believe in wouldn't do that. If he does then I wouldn't want to believe in him anymore.

Bingo! My oldest had the cord wrapped around his neck 3 times, so i guess the fact that he lived was a miracle. emergency c-section.

My daughter was natural and no complications..another miracle.

Yes I believe in miraculous events as I have lived several directly, and many indirectly that I witnessed personally.

One such thing for myself happened in a small pickup truck that I was a passenger in over 20 years ago. The truck flipped end over end 7 times and rolled over 14 times (according to police investigation and eyewitness)

I had no seat belt on, and my window down. when the truck came to a stop I felt quite cramped and saw my window was now above my head, so I began to climb up and out through the window.

The eye witness stated to the police that arrived later that he watched my hands come out of the side of the truck through the window opening and saw me pulling my legs out with my hands because they were kind of wedged in, they stated then that I turned and jumped down to the ground and walked over to them asking if they were ok. I also remember doing these things but wanted to clarify they were verified by the witness.

When they checked me over for injury I had a 2" long very shallow cut (band aid for a day) on my right arm and nothing more, no bruises even. But officers refused to believe I had come out of the truck. They even wrote I had been thrown from the vehicle on the first flip. I argued as did the witness but they simply wrote I was thrown.

I went a couple days later to see the truck in the wrecking yard. When I saw the truck I was simply amazed. This was after they had cut the drivers side open and spread it out for getting my friend out of it of course...but the passenger side had roughly a space of about 18 inches by 9 inches by almost 21 inches... this was the only "open" space inside the cab on the passenger side. the motor and seat and door etc had simply been shoved all together...It had not appeared to come apart much during the extrication process either though the roof had been bent back a little, it was the drivers door and steering column that they cut away...

So anyway, that was one of several I have experienced first hand. As good ol Ripley would say... believe it or not. Doesn't matter to me since I lived it.

Interesting thread, thanks for posting it.

Sort of understand what you mean. I think that if there is a god, he's so far removed from humankind that our petty trials/needs/circumstances are beneath his notice. The only miracles are the ones we make for ourselves or are too ignorant to understand as yet.

Blimey Fil! I'm surprised you posted that...


I guess my family doesn't deserve Gods help in any way...

If someone can explain why He helps some and not others that'd be great

He seems to help people get jobs..survive drugs overdoses, He helps murderers and thieves even child molesters and ordinary people who Only 'see the light' after he's supposedly helped them....Why some and not others??????

Yay!!!! someone who talk sense lol
