I also believe we all have miracles in our lives by God's grace, although we often do not call it that. Just the fact that God has called some of us and drawn us to Himself is a miracle. How our body works is a miracle.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06549106228308572664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508057896996618316.post-90745111078745407702008-03-29T18:02:00.000-04:002008-03-29T18:02:00.000-04:00I concur with Jen, and as well I think I would nee...I concur with Jen, and as well I think I would need to hear the full discussion. As Jen said, we definitely need to be discerning as there are claims to miracles but they must need be tested against the Word to be sure they are of God. <BR/><BR/>In addition, I guess that I would ask what they are being used to prove--if they are used to prove God exists, one need only look to the sky and realize that God causes the sun to rise each day and how He keeps us breathing to know He does. While I was in Virginia Beach, someone once asked me, when they had heard a story about someone possibly locating Noah's Ark, would people more likely believe in the Bible? My response was that people stood in the midst of Jesus and watched miracles yet did not believe. God uses the Holy Spirit's prompting to move in the heart of someone to open their eyes to what they are seeing.Dan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10018881780363017344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508057896996618316.post-71631527127508596762008-03-29T13:00:00.000-04:002008-03-29T13:00:00.000-04:00I think that miracles must be tested, like everyth...I think that miracles must be tested, like everything else, to see if it is Christ exalting and Scripturally sound. Everything must be tested by Scripture. It's not that God isn't still performing miracles; we as Christians need to be able to discern which works are by His hand, and which may be attempting to lead us astray. A miracle alone, as DA Carson said, proves nothing -- until it is tested. Nonbelievers and Christians who are not part of a Bible-teaching church can be easily deceived. Read your Bibles, people!<BR/><BR/>-JenJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17796037474645027589noreply@blogger.com
