@FOUND SOUL,
Quote:I would state, that everything has a beginning in any event. Without a beginning there is no end. So, what ever was written between you two, as far as miracles go, there has to be a beginning (problem) then miracle (end) which is , first and last.
I agree with this...That is why, if you want, or need a miracle to happen...The first has to happen, in order for the second...Other wise the second would not work, without the first...
Quote:I liked RL's take on Miracles. And, the preference of the person learning to deal with a disability and fly as high as he/she can in life with that disability, that to me is a Miracle.... That healing in the soul with the belief that that person can overcome 'ANYTHING' is worth everything....
I like it too...And agree, with what you said...But I am not sure he meant it, like you, took it....And he was asking, for specific answers...And that is Spendi's, and my, honest answers, from our perspectives...
(My opinion...)
They really are not greater than each other, as they are their own entities...Each one different....And no one really greater than another...But I would say, you would need the first to happen, to allow the second part to happen...In all the instances listed above...Otherwise, I do not see how you could do the second part of the miracles...
In other words, they are already doing it...Whether they know it or not...
If they can not see, they are blind to everything....If you cure them of being blind, you can make them see things, from a better perspective, if they can not walk, they can not stumble...If you make them walk, then you can make them able to not stumble, and, if they can not hear, they do not know what words of wisdom are...And if you cure that, they can hear it, and discern difference between wisdom, and not...
Each one great, but the first, must happen, for the second, to be...
Other than that, they are already saved...(For blessed are the poor in Spirit, and meek, and sick, for the kingdom of Heaven is theirs..., if they are sick, and have no cure, they are already saved)
And scripture says, that healing the blind is the greatest thing, other than a conversion...Because what you see, makes up everything, you see, feel, hear, think about, want, are....It is you...
That is a religious answer...I would say, Jesus, would think, they are all on the same level...If they are sick, and have no cure, they are saved anyways...If you cure them...Then they become blessed, and more privileged, then they were....But they need the first, to happen, to make the second, even possible...Or there is no need for it to even be...As they already are seeing clearly, though blind, because there is nothing making there seeing impure...not stumbling, though they can't walk, because they do not know what stumbling would be... and hearing wisdom, though they hear nothing...Because there is no deception, in hearing nothing...They would not know the difference....
Otherwise, it makes no difference...They already are saved, and they can not see things to make them blind about what they need to see...If they can not stand up...They can not stumble...And if they can not hear, they know no difference between wisdom, and foolishness....
They are already doing it...And need no cure...If they want a cure...then they will learn to do the second parts of the miracles...If they are doing the second part, but without the first happening...
then I would say, they never were, blind, crippled, deaf...Even though they physically are....
