My Opinion on Miracles

            Believing that Jesus performed miracles is like believing in Santa Clause.
             child I believed that Santa really existed and that he visited all the children around the world in .
             one night. But how is it possible for one man to do that and stop and take a break to have .
             some milk and cookies? When I was younger I marvelled at the miracle stories that I was told.
             in religion class. They seemed so exciting, so different. I guess it's alright for children to.
             believe in these things, but as you get older it's easier to see that things you once thought .
             were true are actually false. I can tell you that the miracles that Jesus performed did not actually .
             happen because of what I know as a human being. Today I do not see people being raised from .
             the dead or those with hideous diseases being magically cured. Those things just do not happen, .
             it would go against all that is proven true in this world. .
             I believe that Jesus' miracles were totally symbolic. We cannot interpret the Bible .
             literally because there are a lot of conflicting ideas in it. Jesus is portrayed in different ways, .
             different Gospels give different accounts of events. So it is obvious that we cannot take the .
             miracles that Jesus performed and teach others that they actually happened because we do not .
             know that much about them.Our sources from that time period are very limited. The Gospel .
             writers had a reason for writing what did. They wrote parables to convey messages about the.
             Kingdom of God. So they also must have wrote the miracle stories as a way of getting the.
             reader to see Jesus' teaching in different light.
             I would like to believe that the miracle stories are true, that they actually did occur. It .
             would be nice to know that miracles like that could actually happen. I know that there are .
             some bizzaar things that go on in this world, some things that people would consider miracles.
             I prefer to think of them as freak occurances.
