one of my favorite miracles from the bible

[norral]

was when peter and john were entering the temple in jerusalem. a man
was sitting there begging who had been crippled from birth. when he
held his begging bowl up to them peter looked at him and said "silver and
gold have i none, but such as i have i give unto see, in the name of jesus
christ arise and walk. it says that immediately as peter uttered these
words the man was healed. just imagine that crippled all your life , he was
about 40 years old and suddenly u are whole again . how would u feel,
you would be overcome with joy and gratitude. interestingly the priests in
the temple werent overjoyed they werent happy at all. sound like the
ama when somebody comes up with a cancer cure lol. we cant be
having that now could we not enough money in that to release it to the
masses lol. anyhow the priests in the temple had peter and john beaten
and commanded them to not say anything about this lol. how did that work out. i think what im getting at is that the power of the creator is infinite there is no limit on it other that what we put on it is only our
lack of faith that something is possible that stops it from happening.

it is interesting that so many miracles were performed in the first church
and yet now it seems there are none. what happened . why is this the
case . an interesting question i believe.
now with this astrological stuff we are going thru i believe the door
is opening again to those who are sincere. this is a not for profit activity
lol u cant sell God but u can share her lol but it cant be for
personal gain
anyway its late 230 am and it time for beddy bye

Yes Norral, I know what you mean. I have asked myself that question for a long time...after all jesus himself said, "You will do greater things than these."

I have been on the lookout for miracles and teachers and messengers!!

There is a guy named Braco from croatia that is reported to effect miracles. he's coming to visit my area in October, i think i should get out there to see

They are at a church I go to sometimes, not in the same magnitude but the same sort of healings.

Anyway, Jesus never said only the Christian church would do these things. There are loads of masters in India and other such countries.

Another inspiring post, thanks norral. And another great example of how human nature has not particularly changed in the past few thousand years.

Well, there is a huge charismatic/pentecostal movement in both Protestant and Catholic sides of Christianity, which says this is exactly what is going on now. Google for topics such as charismatic, pentecostal, "latter rain", miracles, last days Christianity, dispensations, Alpha Course, and John Wimber, and you'll find a lot of very heated discussions of these themes. Most of the pages insist that the "signs" prove either God or the Devil is behind the movement, according to which literalist interpretation of the Bible is used by the authors.

dear Questioner
thanks for that info. i will definitely google those references.
i think one thing that has to be kept in mind in all of this is
there are no gurus. the power of miraculous occurrences exists
in all of us. what we are emerging from is people who have desired
to coopt all the power for themselves which has led to abuses.
the most fun thing is when each one of personally has an experience
of divine contact. nothing imo beats that personal experience.

peace and love to you brother

dear shemaya
please let us know what you think of him. that would be very
interesting to hear about. one thing also that i keep in mind at all
times. no one is spiritually superior to anyone else. that is so so
important. do not underestimate your own ability to both experience
and be the source of miracles

peace and love

Thanks for the reminder norral...of course you are right.

I feel it sort of a paradox though, because on the one hand I am aware of the power i am connected to and expect "things" to happen, but on the other hand my 3-d experience is pretty average, normal and mediocre.

So i'm walking by faith , not by sight.

Peace and love

[norral]

Dear Shemaya

i too walk by faith . i walk in the confidence every day that
i am never ever alone or abandoned. ive seen it in how things
have unfolded in my life. i am learning lol to just keep my mouth
shut and to let God do the fighting for me. as for your reference
to an average life i would say to you there is no such thing as
an average life i look at it like this it is not that what we
experience is so exceptional but that we experience it exceptionally.
i dont underestimate the power of the positive energy i bring to to every interaction. just truly listening to another is imho an act of service
to the creator. think of how many people are not fully present when
you talk to them. just honestly caring about others is an act of
service to the creator and cannot be underestimated in its power
and effect

peace and love

Have you ever noticed that the word HEART has an EAR and also the word HEAR in it?

Very true. Here is something to think about. We read of Jesus walking on the water. We also read of Peter having to hold his hand.

When I did my own questioning I came across something amazing to me. My soul says that Jesus and Peter both walked on the water. Together. Not alone. That we all have the ability to walk on water. But not alone. For reasons I have not figured out yet, it is only possible in pairs. And that it has something to do with abilities that come from love.

In my questioning of the Bible I get that the majority really happened. Maybe not accurately. And that some of my findings that I thought were secrets I had stumbled upon, are not actually secrets, just that people chose not to see what they read. So I have figured out a few of the stories and some of the parables. Very interesting, and a lot of it connects with many other sources.

I will add, the very first thing I asked is about the OT. Did God ever command people to kill others. NO
And verifying the 10 commandments by testing a fundy, the commandments were scrolls, and not from God.
