IS MIRACLE/FAIITH HEALING POSSIBLE??

2000 years ago....
Jesus turned water into wine, made the blind see, crippled walked, walked on water, woke the dead and fed 5000 or so with 2 loaf of bread and some fishes. Those are just some of the miracles the bible claimed jesus performed.

2006 curent day

Some pastors, evangellist, apostle, reverend etc have manage to pull of these miracle just like Jesus. They claim to make barren women pregnant again and some other outrageuous claim like exorcising demons etc.

Back home, ive seen pastors claim to cure HIV/AIDS via the power of prayer (even though science says otherwise) and make people better off in life.

I am not much of a believer, but i always have at the back of my mind, there should be some sort of logical explanations to these miracles and science defying cures right. Anyway what im trying to say is this - We've seen/heard of miracles of all types but how come no pastor, faith healer or evangelist has attempt what im about to say -

Regrow a limb on an amputee!!.

Reverse a gangrene infection

(please feel free to add your suggestion)

If all these claims of miracles are anything to go by, how come it hasnt being put to test?...until then my belief remains firmly in atheism.

Im putting those two down as from what ive learnt, Humans dont do regrowing of limb as it is biologically impossible, and finally you cant reverse gangrene - it is irreversible and full of dead tissue - only solution is to amputate!

I will welcome Christains view on whoever believes in them kinda of miracle view. thanks.

imo its all a load of crap and does not justify a caps title.

why not?

,everything jesus did 2000 yrs ago can be done today by paul daniels

I kinda agree but im not sure if he will manage to pull that stunt of walking on water?

Yeah, when Jesus performed a miracle he did it with the HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS POWER OF GOD!

You sound like a believer (pardon me if you aint). Do you think miracles can regrow an amputated limp? (even though Jesus put back the ear of someone chopped off)

making limbs come back... no way.

somebody would have been high as a kite.. and then thinking he saw an arm grow back he told everyone, and word of mouth spread (like it does) and bam, the bible

As hard im trying not to laugh......lol....

In fairness, any eyewitness report of a miracle should be considered evidence. It's just a fairly weak form of evidence, and must be weighed against the evidence that miracles don't exist.

To say that there is no evidence for miracles whatsoever would be foolish in the extreme.

So are you saying miracle do exist then?

I must admit ElRazur that you are not a 'normal' Nigerian.
Nigerians usually worship and believe in all sorts of supernatural nonsense and you've got away from this.
I nearly got beat up for taking a picture of a Juju tree because I captured its spirit and I had to destroy the film.
I bet you don't even scam people with emails saying you've got 15 million in funds
I do congratulate you for having your own mind.

Nah, as a matter of fact, people back home thinks i am crazy and possesed by a demon for saying there is no God and i get punished for it.

Im just the type that likes to ask loads of question and seriously doubt what people beleive especially if it dosent seem to have any basis.

As per you getting beat up for the photo thing, similar thing happened to me, me and my cousin went fishing in a prohibited area - as it is believed to be a no go area (only for the "gods") and even if you catch and cook the fish, it wont be cooked apparently. Anyway to cut a long story short we did, ate the damm fish and we went boasting about.....before you know it, my dad was ordered to give/offer a white Ram so as to appease the gods :rolleyes:

...I mean WTF.

You know, my village back home have Gold as one of it natural resources so technically i should be rich!

Watch out for the email from El, asking for a payment to be sent to a paypal account for a cut in them gold back home!!

Tell that to a 14 year old boy who ~I saw get out of a wheelchair and walk after havong no motor neurones in his legs prior to being prayed for! Do a search for a guy from Bradford Called Smith Wigglesworth and the miracles he did. Read up before you slate

Who performed that miracle?, Do you think growing back an amputated limb should be of no issue to him, cuz he did put back (somehow) motor neuron in the boys leg, right?
