EMAIL THREAD Real Miracles? Have you ever experienced a real miracle, that you feel was a genuine Divine intervention? Fri. Apr 13, 10:01am

yeah, when the jesus thread got removed form the forum. i still can't believe it! Friday, April 13, 2007, 10:02 AM

lol! totally agree. Friday, April 13, 2007, 10:24 AM

In 2003 I was miraculously healed of a type of polio that has no cure. My surgeon was amazed and asked if I would allow the story to go into the medical journal but he wasn't allowed to do that because it could not be explained medically. I had a prophecy in church and then my bones started coming together spontaneously. Friday, April 13, 2007, 1:00 PM

one day i realized that the religion that had been forced down my throat for years as a child did not have to remain a part of my adult life. the epiphany was like a rebirth-i am now a born-again non-christian and couldn't be more satisfied or fulfilled. Friday, April 13, 2007, 1:19 PM

10:02 AM you are so funny! Friday, April 13, 2007, 3:43 PM

I think I may have felt Divine Invention when I took an pill of ecstacy with my boyfriend in college Friday, April 13, 2007, 3:49 PM

I may have witnessed one. A jewish athlete at my college won a track event and broke the school record, then did a victory lap shouting "I see Jesus! I see JEEEESUSSSS". What do you think? ;) Friday, April 13, 2007, 4:11 PM

MS is gone My friend Joan's younger sister got MS when her youngest was 3. it damaged her left eye. She was suffering terrible pain and was starting to spend time in a wheelchair, very depressed. We were all praying for her all the time, but not knowing what to do some raised money for her to go to a famous specialist out of state. When she went to the doctor, he was trying to find the damaged eye and couldn't see any damage, and he ran some tests and told her that she did not have MS, and in fact was healthy. She is fine now. I know it was God, so does she. Her youngest is 14 now. Friday, April 13, 2007, 4:13 PM

since you won't be converting any of us to your special brand of Christian Fundamentalism, why don't you Jesus folk go to some Jesus website and start threads? Friday, April 13, 2007, 4:20 PM

grow up and ignore it. I might agree with you but I'm not going into threads and whining about it. Like my mom always said "if you don't like it, just don't eat it". Friday, April 13, 2007, 4:45 PM

It wasn't whining, it was a pragmatic suggestion. Friday, April 13, 2007, 4:47 PM

oh, so you just go into threads and lay on insults to others who post a comment that is relevant to the topic?! maybe you should take your mother's (and your own) advice. Friday, April 13, 2007, 4:49 PM

Why do you keep reading the threads if they bother you? No self control to ignore them? Friday, April 13, 2007, 4:59 PM

I'm not the above poster(s)...but I keep reading these threads because it's fun to laugh at the religious 'tards. It's a good thing they believe jesus loves them, because no one else can stand them. Friday, April 13, 2007, 5:26 PM

5:26 poster. Religion is part of our freedom here in America, just in case you forgot. You know if you don't like, don't read. I really feel so sorry for people with the attitude you have, its OK though you are in my prayers and one day you will see god, his love and his miracles are TRUE. Just pray for your sake its not too late. Saturday, April 14, 2007, 12:40 PM

to 5:26 poster - were you the bully in the school yard too? Anyone who doesn't think like you do is a "tard?" Grow up. - And, yes, I am making an assumption that you are actually an adult by age. Most of us want our kids to treat others with respect. It's a really tough lesson to teach when they see adults setting that kind of example. I'm sure you thought your comment was funny - and to some of the other "smart kids" on the playground, it may have been -- but to many of us, it was just plain rude, and it is not a whole lot better behavior than that of many of the kids we are shocked by on the news. Internet anonymity doesn't make the behavior any less repulsive. Saturday, April 14, 2007, 3:47 PM

Some people choose to reject any concepts outside of what is familiar to them. If something is out of what they have experienced, they name it foolish and even are angered by it. This is very common with faith in God issues, whereas those same people might readily believe pop ideas with little or no scrutiny at all. It saddens me when people won't even consider something that might benefit thier lives..they feel safer by trying to squelch it. Saturday, April 14, 2007, 4:40 PM

3:47, maybe you can get 12:40 to pray for you to get over your bad playground experiences if she's not too busy begging god to shed his light on my unenlightened soul. I answered 4:59's question, plain and simple. I seriously doubt the god squad found my open admission of ridicule eye-opening -- they play the martyr far too well already. Saturday, April 14, 2007, 5:14 PM

Okay, I am an atheist and read these threads to understand my fellow PTers - and others in the world - who are not. There's nothing gained by a harsh response ... for example calling someone a "tard "... Make yourself powefrul: use your word (i.e. the things you say) to express yourself, to enlighten others ... but never to hurt ... why would you want to hurt others? Saturday, April 14, 2007, 9:12 PM

Regarding the 12:40 poster "Too Late". statements like that are exactly why these Christian threads are destructive and threatening. Saturday, April 14, 2007, 9:38 PM

To the original poster: Yes, but I consider them too sacred to randomly share. (Cf. Matthew 7:6). Saturday, April 14, 2007, 10:09 PM

15 years ago I had a stroke that caused a blot clot in my brain. I was in a deep coma for 3 days but a light coma 3 months. I was on a respirator whe I finally got out ofvthe coma 3 months later. I had to learn how to walk talk hokd my head up ect! I am a roman catholic who belonged to a chrasmatic pray group. They had an all night pray vigil for me. Oh yeah I had to have brain surgey becaiuse the put a shunt in my brain because fluid was building but it stopped working. Even though I am catholic I had people praying for me at many different churches a synogues. I am also part of a 12 step program so i had people from that fellowship praying for me. Today with the exception of the whole in my head which no one can see You would never know I had a stroke and brain surgey I raised 4 children and graduated from college with a 3.1. Nothing is impossible with God! Sunday, April 15, 2007, 12:10 AM

I agree with 10:09 - My thoughts exactly. Sunday, April 15, 2007, 12:12 AM

12:12 again -- Let me clarify. I agree this is not the place to share those personal experiences - in general. To those of you who have, I have enjoyed reading of your miracles. But to the OP, and anyone who is starting similar religious threads..... It seems you are trying to bring peoples' thoughts to G-d. Admirable; but, please consider the forum. Do you really want to bring Him up for ridicule? It is evident that that is what will happen here. Contention arises and the Lord's name is "spoken" in vain. Purposefully extracting these behaviors from others is not what HE would ask of us. I would prefer to share my thoughts, and experiences in a way that will bring honor to Him. Sunday, April 15, 2007, 12:27 AM

Thers gotta be more the 2 miracles. Sunday, April 15, 2007, 4:44 PM

I can surely relate to that. I had ITP - a blood disorder - went through various chemo/radiation/steriod treatments. Nothing worked. Turned to holistic healing, herbs, crystals, chanting, etc. and the power of the holy spirit. I've been in remission for 2 yrs. The docs still can't figure out why I'm here. Hello! the power of the holy spirit and prayer. Sunday, April 15, 2007, 6:13 PM

Christian oppression must be tough for all of you. I understand that America and its Christians are the most oppressed people on the planet. Your lives must be so hard Sunday, April 15, 2007, 8:16 PM

To 12:27 Thank you for your thoughtful comment. This is a marvelous forum, a very unique experience. I am not ashamed of my faith, even when I did not have a real faith in God I listened to other peoples experiences and viewpoints and then I decided to find out if God was real. HE IS Real. Any group has those who want to hear and those who do not. These threads are private in a way, as one has to take actions to take part in them, so if someone is reading and commenting it's because they want to be involved. Those that ridicule have strong emotions about God..it doesn't matter how it is expressed. Something is happening in thier heart, deep interest. I will never be nasty to someone who is makes those negative comments about me or about God because I know that God came to mend those broken hearts and provide hope to the hopeless. Some are reading and perhaps are learning something. He changed me and I wanted to share it. The God that does miracles is not dead..He is still in the miracle business. I know there are a lot of miracles..but some are afraid to tell about them now. Thanks for your time. Sunday, April 15, 2007, 8:42 PM

8:16--that has not been my experience. Monday, April 16, 2007, 1:49 PM

1:49 8:16 was being sarcastic..but I see more and more persection occuring unless your faith is as inconsequential as one's shoe size. Monday, April 16, 2007, 6:02 PM
