Wow, interesting, your comment made me pause and think. I have had several God given miracles in my life that usually come from an urgent need of the moment. God is always there in my experience.
Know any human doing these?
There are many cases today where God has given humans spiritual gifts. Let us focus on one, for instance, for discussion. The gift of healing.
I have not personally witnessed, except through the media, a faith healing by a faith healing ministry for instance, but they do exist. I do not have the gift of healing but I am sure that even on FR we could find someone who does. People today, in third world countries especially, have even risen from the dead. My preconceived notions and LCMS doctrine interpretation do not limit God in what he can and does do today.
Like this:
Acts 9:
The Healing of Aeneas 32Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. 33There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed. 34And Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed." And immediately he rose. 35 And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Re: faith healing, is that the same as the Apostles? Does the person you refer to heal them as above? 3rd world risen from the dead? Really, considering it is the third world were they dead, or beyond the medical scope of the area?
My preconceived notions and LCMS doctrine interpretation do not limit God in what he can and does do today.
Neither does LCMS doctrine limit what GOD can do, God can heal miraculously at any time. Man isn't given that gift as in the days of the Apostles. My preconceived notions have nothing to do with it. Again I say, prove it. Anecdotal evidence isn't evidence, get something a solid as the Scripture accounts. Don't have it, no real surprise.
Whether one experiences it or not, or senses it or not, God is always there.
Romans 8:28
28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
