Question 16
Question
A miracle is an [blank_start]extraordinary[blank_end] event performed by God as a sign of his love and/or power. Christianity is founded on the beliefs that God became human as Jesus Christ (the [blank_start]incarnation[blank_end]) and that he has power over death, shown in the [blank_start]resurrection[blank_end] of Jesus Christ. Jesus said: 'I lay down my life - only to take it up again. No-one takes it from me but I lay it [blank_start]down[blank_end] on my own accord. I have [blank_start]authority[blank_end] to lay it down and authority to take it up again.' - John 10:17-18
All christians believe the miracles of the incarnation and resurrection were actual [blank_start]historical[blank_end] events. However there is much disagreement over other miracle stories in the Bible. For example, [blank_start]Fundamentalist[blank_end] Christians believe all of the Bible is [blank_start]literally[blank_end] true and that it is the word of God whereas [blank_start]Liberal[blank_end] Christians believe that many of the miracle stories are [blank_start]myths[blank_end].
Some christians do not believe that miracles take place today but the vast [blank_start]majority[blank_end] do. For example, many catholics believe that the waters from a holy spring in [blank_start]Lourdes[blank_end] can heal the sick. In total, the catholic church has confirmed [blank_start]66[blank_end] miracles to have taken place in Lourdes. Many christians believe that [blank_start]the Holy Spirit[blank_end] is responsible for the miracles that take place today.
