Dear, the Skeptic of Miracles

Dear,
Skeptic

Well, when describing miracles, I've seen many. And I don't think it's a matter of faulty memory. For one thing, I dreamt Hail Britannica before I wrote it. I also get, like the voice of my conscience, words. Often spoken in malapropisms that I would understand, and then when I search the word, I find the exact word I'm supposed to use. And that word is often a word I'd never heard used before. So, as I write, there is a little still voice telling me the perfect word, which I know most writers struggle with. In my own life, I saw a blind and deaf man healed of his blindness. He was blind. He was deaf. And when I left the building, after the Gospel was being preached, he stumbled out the door of The Barnes and Noble able to see. And I know he couldn't hear because he was spoken to, and I saw quite a look of astonishment like he'd never had that experience before. I've seen two demons cast out, I've seen people's eyes turn black as the pit of night, I've seen prophecies fulfilled. However, this is all hearsay, isn't it? 

Well, what's not hearsay is Isaiah 53. It can be about nobody beside Jesus. It is historically been a part of the Bible at all times, and because of that, I have no doubt that the rest of the Bible, and its predictions, have been preserved in the Bible's text, too. Such predictions are Deuteronomy's prediction of Israel obtaining a king, the collapse of Israel and Judah because of sin, and the restoration of Israel. All of this is predicted in Deuteronomy, and we know this because it's what the Prophets like Jeremiah and Isaiah spoke, having no evidence that they were forgeries created by the Persian Empire because the subject of the books are too invested in the material. It describes a siege in realistic ways that only someone who's witnessed it could describe. Then, Isaiah predicts Cyrus would restore Israel back from Babylon to the Holy Land. And if that's not enough, Isaiah also predicts Christ in no clearer terms than Isaiah 53. There are other chapters of the Bible, maybe about four hundred of them in the Old Testament, if taken in their literal context are talking about Jesus. And when you know this, the Bible is far more understandable.

Then, two miracles I've heard from witnesses were a man who spoke at the United Nations. He had a genetic aberration for heart disease. And he died of a Heart Attack. He was, like many others, healed from that heart attack and so completely healed that his genetic markers for Heart Disease were removed from him. So, even if homosexuality or serial killing are genetic, God can remove that genetic material from you to make you completely whole. And why couldn't He? And God distinguishes that both killing and sodomy are equal in weight as a crime; both deserve the penalty of death. And should a generational curse---as Solomon pointed out---be written in the DNA of someone, God can surely remove it completely, like a circumcision knife does the foreskin.

Finally, one more miracle which I found absolutely convincing, was a Muslim man who was an Imam. And he found Jesus through reading the Quran. In several ayahs it literally says Jesus is God, and to believe in Jesus. It says Jesus is the "Word of God" and the "Spirit of God" and that Jesus performed miracles. And Muhammad says that God created the Universe through the "Word", Who is Jesus, therefore making Jesus God in Islam. For, if Jesus is the Word, and the universe was created through the Word, then the world was created through Jesus, and any being Whom can create from nothing must be a god. And it is blasphemous to believe in three gods, there must only be one. This same man was nearly killed by His family, and an angel of the LORD wounded his assailant with the sword, so the man whom I speak of went free and lives to this day preaching the word of God joyfully.

There are many miracles like this. Both light and dark. Some men have witnessed a man like a dragon fly through the air, and breathe fire from the palms of his hand. Some men have witnessed the dead raised, as I was raised from the dead when I was overcome by a wave; and it was by spiritual force that I was healed; even on that day I saw the shadow of Satan on the shore in his dark robes. On that day I spoke with God and was revealed mysteries which I shall not speak. Men have created matter through light, thus, the greatest miracle of them all, Creation, is seen to be feasible even by our paltry science. There are many miracles. And that is why the faith is confirmed.
