Reality Check: What Must Be the Case if Christianity is True?

9) That although a great number of miracles were claimed to have happened in the different superstitious cultures of the ancient world, only the ones in the Bible actually happened as claimed.

I hold all religions in contempt, although I know more about Christianity than the others being American and subjected to its claims almost daily.

One of my biggest peeves is the typical Bible-thumper who has never investigated the other great religions, but dismisses them out of hand- I know: when you've found the thing you were looking for, you quit looking further. The problem is that Christians in America generally stop at the first thing they look at and never see the rest.

We don't deny they (or part of them) happened -- it's just that we don't believe that they necessarily come from God. (2 Corinthians 11:14) -- [remember Saul's visit to the witch of Endor, the servant-girl with pythonic spirit in Acts, or the two demonized in the Gospel, whose demons rightly identified Christ as the Son of God].

Lvka.

Going by what you stated here in your post regarding the miracles of other religions being that of demonic forces.

What about certian psychics who have lead police to dead bodies and helped in the capture of criminals.....?

I dont personaly believe in people having psychic abilities, but there is claimed by authorities that psychics really have done these things!

How do you apply your belief of demonic principalities to this fact, if God only works through christian prophets and apostles...etc...?

"What about certian psychics who have lead police to dead bodies"

demonic spirits do indeed keep people in deception with these powers.

but physic power is different from the power to heal or the power to perform signs (in the sky, etc).

All of these can be satanic/demonic. Satan often counterfeits God. Physic ability can be real...but most of the time it is coincidence and fabrication.

three hours sleep and a 10 shift today... clearly physic was supposed to be psychic

maybe some day I will proof read before I send the blog (I'm used to be able to post edit spelling)
