Blessings and may it increase your Faith in God's Love and Power.
I have often wondered how I got to be as old as I am. Or why. If I am supposed to be doing something it is still not clear what.
Am prayerfully pondering and sorting that issue out
AGAIN
at 58.
We shall see.
May all who Love God authentically earnestly endeavor to be about The Master's business.

Not really. I calmly read a bit, made a decision and calmly went on to more important things. Time to take the dog out.
Moonbat fruitcakes are entertaining. Love those cute inspirational stories they stay awake making up. And every one of them is true!
The variety of nutcases is truly breath-taking!
AHHHHHH,
So many words . . . without checking the facts out hardly at all.
Must be a sign of true wisdom.
--in some eyes.
I could have resisted pinging you to loved ones . . .
but I chose not to. Heh heh.
I could have resisted pinging you TWO as in 2! loved ones . . .
but I chose not to. Heh heh.

Now, Quix...
I guess I'm like ol' Thomas on this one. Thanks for quoting this article in full, though. This is the one point that jumped out at me:
"SPECIAL OFFER! "MEGASHIFT: Igniting Spiritual Power," documents resurrections in 52 countries and is available today for a 25 percent discount."
I thought I cut all such invitations out. Sorry I missed that one.
I personally believe:
FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.
However, The Word also says:
A WORKMAN IS WORTHY HIS HIRE.
Certainly some overemphasize it and that stinks, imho.
That's one reason I no longer subscribe to the ELIJAH LIST.
The list owner rebuts that he supports many unwed mother/single mother families by doing so. Sigh.
Besides, folks are happy to spend more on an evening's dinner for 2--which will only end up in the sewer.
At least these researched stories have the potential of resulting in Eternal Life for those who read about them.

I think it might be more appropriate to refer to these events either as healings or return of bodily life.
The Ressurrected body as referenced in Scripture regarding the Second Adam and His ressurrection, indicates that body will have some other aspects beyond our present bodies, such as being able to walk through walls, displace between remote physical points immediately, yet they remain physical. Jesus Christ after ressurection also asked a person for a little piece of meat for nourishment, so it wasn't an apparition, as also manifest in Thomas placing his hands on his wounds.
These reports don;t seem to be of ressurrected bodies, but of the soul being returned to the body within a 24 hour period.
An interesting and plausible distinction.
However, wasn't Lazarus considered to have had a kind of
. . . well . . . resurrection?
Thanks for your thoughtful post.

TO, what is, to me, an exciting doc about present day 'resurrections' 'raisings-from-the-dead' --many hours or even a day or so after death.

BTW, This is not to a ping list--though I'm trying to compile a new one on END TIMES; DREAMS, VISIONS . . . this is to folks I've gleaned from various posts of earlier threads of mine--whom I've guessed might be interested. Lost my old one in a crash before my MidWest trip. 3 different Hard Drives with full backups have not been recovered yet.
If you want OFF such a ping list, please let me know and I won't add you! Or, if you read this and want on, please let me know that, too.
Blessings,
