singlelady13 says:

miracles are amazing magic that is performed by the almighty jesus christ and no one else

E R says:

Yes - of course they're real! I belive miracles are a type of magic. I also belive in fantasy creatures, such as faries, elves, dragons, brownies etc. I think they're all real and that miracles do happen - but when people don't belive in magic - magic wo't happen to them & vice versa!

ANOMIN says:

world.His always protecting us and doing the best that He can.
He´s our father and i believe in Him,all His miracles and all that he did to other good person for helping them.
AMEN

says:

Yes, I believe in miracles. I believe that miracles are natural when we are elect to believe in Love rather than fear and when we allow all illusions we have wittingly or unwittingly interposed between God and ourselves to be removed by Him so that we may experience His presence within us. When we allow His Presence to just be and rest within us and allow Him to direct our way rather than us trying to figure out His way for us, we experience happiness, peace of mind, forgiveness, Love, and joining. Of His Love and Gentle Guidance we can be assured for He would never leave us comfortless. All it takes is to be still a moment and allow ourselves to feel and experience His Presence within us to see this is true. Thus, are miracles as natural as the illusions we once held. Be Still an instant and experience God's Love within yourself and take illusions as your gods no more. The Peace of God be with all my brothers and sisters, Robert

Call it what you want miracles, chance...good things happen against all the odds.

Alban says:

Of course, miracles do happen all the time. They are everyone's right. I know friends that had incredible healings. Miracles do not go against the "laws of nature". It is rather that there are no laws but God's. Nature is following God's laws, even if it does not appear that way. But nothing in this world is as it appears.

Jarett says:

Indubitably! They happen completely on their own when we live in joy, when we relinquish all negativity of mind, when we stop trying to control life, and when we harmoniously go with the flow of existence.

Pamela2Heaven says:

No doubt about it!!!

Gandree says:

I just created a lens about a movie on miracles - very interesting...

No, I don't believe in miracles.

Lois says:

no because i am not religous and i don't believe in that crap!!!!!x

spirituality says:

I don't believe in things that go against the laws of nature. I do believe that we don't know all those laws yet, so why shouldn't unexplained things happen?

So, what IS a miracle? 

This religious debate summarized

The discussion about whether or not miracles happen is made very difficult by the way the word 'miracle' gets defined and redefined. Here are some of the possible definitions, and I wonder what you think of them.

Oh, and I nearly forgot to say it: you are a miracle. I am a miracle.

A miracles is simply a corrective intervention that changes my mind. Separation, sickness is in my mind only. There it needs to be healed, and is, as soon as I am willing to let go of my ideas of sickness and separation. It is all already accomplished. Now, that is a miracle.

I was hit by a drunk driver once. He totaled my car, if he would not have hit my car first, he would have killed two little children in the back seat of the second car he hit after mine. Why? How do I know this was a miracle? The guy was driving a huge car going very fast and the second car he hit was a small compact car. Before he crashed into my car, the only thing I remember seeing was those two little childrens faces in the back window of the other car. I was told later at the hospital that the two children were shook up but did not have one cut on them! Miracle? I would like to believe so.
