Thread Name: BS: Is there a god or not?
Subject: RE: BS: Is there a god or not?
Guest Boab...Forgive me if my interpretation is wrong..or my definition of supernatural is way out..but I always thought the supernatural consisted of happenings which the human consciousness could not understand because they were above the realms of "normal understanding". So I have difficulty with your expression. "There is no supernatural. There are things which we do not understand"
I went to a Church 280 miles from my home, as a complete stranger. A man got up at the front and called several people who had ailments...not by name but by ailment.....to the front, where he prayed over them and they went back to their seats.
At the time I had suffered 10 years of constant pain after a jaw operation...the pain was a pre-occupation in my life as it was always there.
The man said. "There is a man here who had something done to his jaw many years ago and still suffers pain in the right side of it"
My wife and my sister both nudged me to go forward...I was prayed over in tongues by that man and returned to my seat minus the pain!
I believed he must have hypnotised me as I did not understand Gods power at that stage of my life.....over the next four or five days I expected the pain to return but it didn't and hasn't to this day.
To me, in spite of what any critics may say, that was a supernatural act of God as I have no other explanation for it.
In no way could it have been a coincidence or hypnotism...I was healed.
I believe there is a God! Many things have happened since to cement that feeling of there being a God. As my understanding grows so does my faith.
I can't imagine my life without God.
Best wishes.
