Are you thinking of Romans 8:26?

In the same way, the Spirit too comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit itself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.

he has done somewhat of a disservice to the church. If he would have not come forward, you have the physical manifestation of what some call a miracle, which the world desperately needs right now with so much true evil manifest around us daily.

AKA, a lie of omission?

“Father Dowling” of course it is...only thing better would have been if his first name was Frank rather than Patrick.

Clearly, this is a cover story hiding the miracle! Cleverly created by the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, We the People SEE THROUGH this ‘Father Dowling’ character!

I suppose, I’ve only been working on it for 6 decades.

The threats of eternal hellfire ought to hurry that "thinking" up.

I can understand an allah doing that. The loving God of the new testament, not so much.

Prayers were answered. That, in itself, is a miracle.

If Revelations isn’t part of the ‘new testament’, the same prodding is elsewhere in it, too.

It actually Was a Miracle! He was there and helped pray with everybody else who was praying, prayer is miraculous! She has been saved :-)

As much as I appreciate what he did for the young woman and the rescue workers, he has done somewhat of a disservice to the church. If he would have not come forward, you have the physical manifestation of what some call a miracle, which the world desperately needs right now with so much true evil manifest around us daily.

If there is "so much true evil" around us, are you suggesting that there is no "true good", and that a false miracle is needed to fool people into believing that "true good" still exists?

And why didn’t the Sheriff come forward with the information that he shook hands with him afterward? Why let the mystery ferment?

Because it didn't fit the narrative. Consider whose interests benefitted from that narrative?

The only entities that benefitted were the media and our “leaders” because the story distracted us from the sorry state of affairs.

Yes, but no mater how much a colorblind man thinks about color, wavelengths, optical power, rainbows, he will not think himself into the experience of red.

Duuude!!
