I also found that many of my Christian friends are very skeptical when a Muslim claims a miracle, but will accept without question or debate any claim by a Christian. I don't know why the claims should be treated any differently.Budsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-67992259870315870732010-03-28T09:29:50.722-07:002010-03-28T09:29:50.722-07:00I'm glad that there are others you share this ...I'm glad that there are others you share this skepticism.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240462070445948163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878914472051909043.post-29403363564782362582010-03-28T08:30:04.822-07:002010-03-28T08:30:04.822-07:00Pensacola Revival?

I attended the Pensacola Revival to see a miracle and I saw a bunch of psychological tricks and mass hysteria creating sub par silliness.

A God who created things right the first time, or one who needs to constantly miraculously intervene to fix things or make them better?<br /><br />I think a God who does not frequently break the laws of nature that he created is a more competent God. He was able to create a universe the way he wanted it at the beginning.NOTALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023642993271445419noreply@blogger.com
