If I expanded the list to family who wouldn't BS, that list to expand significantly to include things like the ability to spontaneously write in ancient languages with perfect prose, spontaneously talk in other languages unknown to speaker, shapeshifting, demonic possessions (far beyond possible psycological diagnosis), prophecy, and so on. Over the years, if you're in the right circles, you hear and see a lot, and I mean a lot of things inside or outside of specific kinds of churches. I try to throw out the things that are likely to happen naturally (e.g. "God saved me from a wreck because I clipped an extra coupon before I got into the car"). Then you have all the instances of people that have documented, at least among their family, impossible things to happen naturally such as the case of Todd Burpo. I am not saying his claim is absolutely real, but if it indeed is - and only his family knows - then even the first half of his story is far beyond the realm of what science or empiricism can explain. |
I know Muslims who claim they have seen "proof", I am pretty sure If I lived in a jewish country around jewish people I'll also meet people who have seen it.
I am not saying you guys didn't see it but this brings up many points but I'll just ask this, all religions can be true because their followers have seeen the proof, which one I am supposed to follow? "Impossible things" happen not to Christians only, how can you imply that they happened to you because you you are on the right path?
edit:
And to make my point clearer, we have a very well-respected member on this site who is a Muslim who says his religion was reinforced when he witnessed a demonic possession and exorcism of a loved one. He told the story multiple times on this site, so I'll refrain from mentioning his name. The point is unnatural things (or coincidences?) happen to some people. However, even if we assume they are clues to God existence, they don't indicate which religion is true.
