Miraculous Healings

[vmcutshall]

Has any one on this forum had a miraculous healing?

When I was 4 or 5 I was playing with the leaves my dad was burning and like a child I fell into the fire. I had 3rd degree burns on my hands and arms and the doctors told my parents that I would not have use of my hands. My parents called the pastor of our church and had the church to pray for my healing. Without any surgery I got the use of my hands back and without any scarring.

That is awesome! My cousin had a similar situation happen where she was cooking in the kitchen, reached her arm out to grab something, and burned her arm on the stove. Her arm was scarred and black. But in three days, there was no sign of visible scarring on her arm. When she shared this testimony, she held out her arm, and you could see no visible signs of scarring. Both arms looked the same complexion.

Well I just got robbed tonight and thank God I was not harmed. If that counts as miraculous healing. Everytime I say my special miracle prayer something bad happens and then again as well something good happens.

Did you also thank such a hypothetical supernatural being for the initial mugging?  Of course not; a false attribution is somehow more 'comforting' to a religious adherent.

Claiming that such events are attibutible to an intercessory magical evocation ritual to a hypothetical 'deity' does not equate to any effects being due to such a ritual.  One may as well attribute effects to the 'miraculous invisible pink unicorn' for instance because both lack evidence supporting such attributions.

That is really an amazing/inspirational story.  I'm glad you shared it among all the other "hum-drum" discussion boards.  Although I have never previously experienced such a healing, I hope to in the future.  I am currently going through a crisis in my household and maybe now will be the time (more spiritual than physical though).

That sounds very fishy, I'm sorry.  What the hell was your father doing letting you near burning leaves?!

I think you are exaggerating the severity of the situation.  I would be negligent on the part of the doctors and your parents to do nothing medically to help you if your hands were really as bad as you claim.  It sounds like you might have suffered a minor burn, but are playing it up in your head since you were only 4 or 5 at the time and can't remember.  Our bodies do a pretty kick a s s job of healing themselves, and skin is no exception.  Especially since you were so young, your skin was fresh and new and easy to repair.

I am very happy for you. I read some of the postings and it seems that some people just refuse to believe. I however am not one of them. This brings hope to people who are suffering, thank you for telling your story.

Back in my country people really believe in miraculous healings asking directly  to the Lord to heal or have a miracle of what they are suffering especially if the case of ailment cannot cure by the doctor anymore. So people praying so hard to give them miracle to heal them and sometimes its really happen if you are really praying from your heart.

Thanks, QoN, for answering that the way I was going to - saved me the typing.

Ok, people lets not get involved in religious or religion debates here, this is a forum where you are free to start a topic and post your thoughts always respecting others, if you dont agree or have something stupid to post, move on to another freaking topic please, thank you. And I believe in GOD, miracles do exist!

We just got put under orders and 'owned' by a new member? Gotta love the cojones even though your words mean zip to anyone most of us.

From what was likely omitted from the story, I'd estimated that either QoN's assessment is correct or, the medical staff _did_ treat the burns and the doctor's prognosis was in error.  The young child's skin may have healed but, this cannot be accurately attributed to some intercessory magical rituals to envoke a hypothetical supernatural "healing", ('prayers').

Sounds like yet another religious adherent who, when their specious religious claims are questions, wants to silence those challenges. Also, the thread title is "Miraculous Healings", a nominally 'religious' topic engendering "religious debate" so, not having some expectation of dissent is a bit unrealistic, (even if being unrealistic is essentially what being a religious adherent is about).  Bottomline; if someone is going to make specious religious claims, (like "I believe in GOD, miracles do exist"), without backing them up then they have unrealistic expectations here.

When I was working at a convenience store, this young couple ran in crying and hysterical that a relative of one had just been shot point blank in the head inside his apartment which was behind the store.  After establishing that the ambulance and authorities had been contacted a woman that worked with me suggested we join together in prayer for the man that was shot.  More to calm the two I participated.  It was later that I found out more information, the doctors had said the man was lucky to be alive (naturally of course, though, point blank .375) and lucky if he lived through surgery.  They also said he would be lucky if he wasn't a vegetable if he survived surgery.  A week or so later he walked into the store and purchased some goods.  The only lingering effect he said he still had was a loss of balance at times and sensitivity to loud noise.  Additionally, the man that shot him lived too, and he was worked over (until the police arrived) by the other 5 relatives of the man who got shot that were also present (the shooter was unrelated to them).

Of course those devout adherents to the atheist religion will attempt to dismiss this as coincidence for whatever purpose other than to either comfort themselves or criticize others.  I don't really care about that, and post this here simply as my testimony to these events to share with those of faith.

There's no reason to either believe or, disbelieve such testimonial accounts, (sans police reports, hospital records ... evidence).

Of course those devout adherents to the atheist religion ...

Since atheism isn't a "religion", (except to those misinterpreting _disbelief_ as a religious belief ... illogical as that may be), it has no "devout", (religious), adherents.  Nice try slipping that by again though.  Presumably, you keep trying that schtick and getting shot-down, however.

... will attempt to dismiss this as coincidence for whatever purpose other than to either comfort themselves or criticize others. 

Actually, I'd dismiss it on the basis of a lack of evidence to support a potentially fictional story.  If not fictional, I'd attribute the medical procedures preformed on the patient with a lot more credit than speciously attributing such a recovery to any intercessory magical evocation rituals hypocritically prohibited by the religion subscribed to, (e.g., no false credit for 'prayers').

I don't really care about that, and post this here simply as my testimony to these events to share with those of faith.

On the contrary, you did "care" enough to mention what you allegedly don't "care about".  That kind of thing used to amuse me; now I just find it to be a non sequitur.

Great topic and your story is incredible, as are other stories that were shared as a result of your post. I personally have not had a miraculous healing nor known anyone that has, however, I certainly have heard of cases such as yours. How blessed you must feel to have had such an amazing healing in your life!  Thanks for posting this topic and sharing your wonderful story!

[falcon9]

As you've stated, they're "stories"; not necessarily _true_, (or false), "stories".  It isn't possible to accurately discern either and obviously, many of the respondants are content to take such "stories" at face value as a matter of 'faith'.  Just as obviously, I'm not one of those persons, (so they remain fictional hearsay unless substantiated by actual evidence - which excludes dubious 'testimonies').
