When is a "miracle" really a miracle?

When is a "miracle" really a miracle?

????

How should we approach claims of the supernatural or the unusual? Is God the only being with the power to supernaturally intervene in our world? In this video, Frank lists several logical explanations for strange events ranging from weird to miraculous. ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????

Why would God perform a miracle to save one life but not another? For instance, the two national Guards who were shot had the world of parauers, yet one died and one might live by a miracle. How does that make the other family feel? I do not know how to answer this question for those who have lost loved ones and then have less faith in God.
@skepticsinister Says:
There are no such things as miracles. There is NO god of ANY holy book, ALL gods are strictly human manufactured fiction. Christianity, Islam, Judaism are an absurdity full of hate and ignorance, god is fiction in EVERY religion, culture, and language, everywhere, every second of every day, 365. It is just an excuse to engage in ordained hate and othering. Religion is no solution for the requirements of humanity in the 21st century, it never was. The sooner humanity understands this, the sooner we can get to work in unison for humanity actual. Non-belief is JUSTIFIED! ALL evidence and rules of evidence point to ZERO gods, the divinity of Jesus is fiction likewise that of Mohammed likewise Moses...etc etc for all religions for many thousands of years, ALL fiction. Human created god(s). There is NO good evidence to reasonably believe in ANY god claim.

The jealousy of YHWH by HaSatan specifically regarding Holy Elohim being the author of life has been at the core of rebellion with fallen angels mating with women and cross breeding animals of all kinds - deserving of death by flood. All of this to be like the Most High. And more currently, genetics and manipulation of DNA. *Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.* Luke 17:26 thru 30.* Even so, come, Sovereign Yeshua.*

@eklektikTubb Says:
I personally think that term "magic" can mean any unusual event, so it highly depends on the context in which the term is used. I would even argue that human magician tricks are the only cathegory that is NOT magic (or at least not real magic) since it is all fake and pretended.
@Enigmatic_philosopher Says:
Here is a philosophical critique of the video's claims from an atheist perspective: The video makes sweeping assertions about the nature of reality and supernatural phenomena without sufficient evidence. It sets up a false dichotomy between scientific materialism and biblical miracles, ignoring other philosophical perspectives. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, but the video provides mostly anecdotal stories rather than rigorous proof. Dismissing all unexplained phenomena as "anomalies" or claiming they will eventually have natural explanations is an argument from ignorance. Some phenomena may have supernatural causes, even if we do not yet understand the mechanisms. Conversely, claiming certain events are "miracles" also lacks solid justification. Often alleged miracles have natural explanations when studied in depth. Appealing to the Bible as infallible truth is problematic from a skeptical viewpoint. The Bible makes historical and scientific claims that are contradicted by evidence. It was written by humans with limited knowledge of the universe. Ancient texts from many cultures contain mythical and magical elements that are not meant to be taken literally. Overall, the video seems to approach the debate over miracles and the supernatural with a strong confirmation bias. It makes unsupported assertions aligned with Christian theology without seriously considering alternatives or counter evidence. A more intellectually honest analysis would admit the limitations of current human knowledge while remaining open to possibilities both natural and supernatural. Extraordinary claims from any perspective should be met with skepticism until backed by evidence that holds up under scrutiny.

Repent! The soon rapture is at hand. 1 Corinthians 15:52 in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed 1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord”

@Mark-in1im Says:
The test of any supposed miracle is this: *real miracles are undeniable to the 1st-hand observer*. No one ever even tried to deny the miracles of Jesus, even tho they hated Jesus and were desperate to discredit Him. If you ever witness a supposed "miracle" and there's even a hint of unreality to it -- it's fake. When God legitimately does a miracle, He WILL get your attention, no matter if you are a believer or not.
@DeconvertedMan Says:
What method are you using to discover any of the list is true? No we explained how bees work - no "power pack" what the bleep are you talking about? Magic is mentioned in the bible and seems to suggest its real. Satan can do magic as well - lol wow.

Never. Its never been shown to be a thing at all.

@Thundawich Says:
Given that frank talks about point 4 with relation to satan using supernatural stuff to trick people, what makes frank think that the fog in point 5 came from God? Couldn't that have been the devil's fog, while God was rooting for the nazis? What makes frank so sure that this fog that helped the allies was of God's doing?
@gorthygara8399 Says:
A real miracle is when Jesus opens the eyes and the ears of all who are spiritually blind and deaf. Even though many can see and hear, they are still blind and deaf. Also, a miracle is when someone is spiritually born again and they follow only Jesus for the rest of their lives. To be heals of any ailments isn't a true miracle without the inner-been renewed by the power of our Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ.
@AHHHHHHHH-476 Says:
Miracles are impossible due to the laws of physics, therefore we automatically know that miracles don't exist.
@hectorhernandez215 Says:
Seeing natural the supernatural is an error from skepticism.......nothing in this universe is "natural" at all....
@tTtt-ho3tq Says:
Miracles, when God intervenes, when he do something outside of the order of nature or bends the orde of nature. Which means to change the natural courses of nature or flow of things that are to change supposed to go or what is supposed to going to happen according to the order of natire is going to happen. Something like that? So the question is what God forsees? What supposed to happen but won't or what he's gonna change it happen by miracles? Which future God forsees? Can he change his mind? Is he limited, is his free will limited by his own omniscient? Can he change what forsees already or he won't see what hes gonna do with his free will, means he can't see future? But if he forsees the future can he perform miracles to change that future? Then he would be wrong ...

@RangerRyke Says:
A miracle is a miracle when you have quantified data of the prior condition of a thing being unchangeable and then it is observed measurably changing without measurable explanation. Like a limb growing back. Yep god cured your food allergy but won’t give that kid in a car crash his legs back.

@onlylove556 Says:
Frank I love u, but this is why OSAS is false, bc it makes u not see things clearer in the Bible... Now people can stay what does this have to do with our salvation, well it can affect us let me show u from the Bible Alone... Satan has power yes, but only bc God allows those miracles to happen through him, so its not magic tricks, its real spiritual power, but coming from satan it becomes demonic evil powers...   So the Egyptians sorcerers didn't have some "David Copperfield illusion tricks", or some snakes that were hypnotized to be stiff like wood like Frank said, NO' the Bible says that they were real wooden RODS, & they all turned into snakes literally in Exodus 7:11-12...😢 But that power, the source always comes from God alone⬇️ Acts 14:3 - Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and ➡️granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.⬅️ So God allows these signs, & wonders to be done by their hands, bc they we're following the Devil their Father. Bc the Angels were created with strength so every one of them has certain powers to use, through their own free will. Thats why the Bible says during the end days, these  false prophets or going to do signs, & wonders, but its through their father the devil, so it's not going to be some fake parlor tricks, or fake magic David Copperfield tricks, No it's real spiritual demonic power, that God allows it to happen, for the greater Good... Matthew 24:24 - For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect (That even us the believers can be affected by this, hence if you're part of the very Elect u won't, but it's saying some believers who are weak will be affected)... 2 Thessalonians 2:9 - Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, The Bible clearly says that Satan is going to have all this demonic power, it's not some David Blaine magic tricks like Frank is talking about.... That's why Satan has the power to control the weather, & the seas Mark 4:39... Jesus had to rebuke the seas to calm the Seas down, now you're not going to believe that it was the Father in Heaven that was creating This Storm to happen, NO' it was the devil himself, & his minions, through their demonic super powers that the Father allows to happen, & Jesus rebuked them & they had to obey Jesus... They have power bc satan is the ruler of this world Ephesians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 4:4; & Jesus literally tells us that he has a Kingdom Matt 12:26, & that kingdom is this world, so the Devil is thee Ruler of this world John 12:39; 14:30... Even though God created this world, he allows the devil to Rule, & do what he does best, which is biblical when you read the book of Job, & u see that fire was coming down from the heavens Job 1:16; so the Devil is able to do these great signs, & wonders according to the Bible alone, not magic tricks. So this is why OSAS is dangerous, & unbiblical, bc we can be a believer in Jesus & still be following this world, so ur following this world by having worldly desires living in the Flesh ur following satan, & not Jesus. Thats why the Bible says not to follow ur flesh, to follow the Spirit of God only, Otherwise u can keep committing sins that can lead to spiritual death, 1 John 5:16; bc the ruler of this world the devil keeps persuading u to fail, bc he wants u to live a evil life by doing evil works... OSAS believers need to wake up, if the devil is smart enough to persuade one-third of the angels to leave heaven, & leave God's beautiful Grace, bc obviously the Angels were in the heaven in God's presence & felt his love & they still left him to follow satan. So then what makes u think the Devil don't have enough power to persuade us, away from God, when we're just mere finite lil humans, he does have the power to persuade us away to not even make it to Heaven in the 1st place, when he had the power to convince 1/3 of the Angels to leave, who were already in the beautiful heaven... The devil doesn't have the power to grab us out of God's hands, but we could leave God with our own free will, God doesn't grab us and then Force us to stay in his hands, that would be rape. But we can believe in Jesus, & keep walking in our flesh, by living in habitual sinning without repentance, then there is no more forgiveness of sins, which means no more sacrifice for our sins Hebrews 10:26... Wake up my brother's and sisters who believe in Once Saved Always Saved, u can become a lukewarm believing Christian by following the desires of satan's world, & can lose your salvation...

@michelangelope830 Says:
If God is unarguably the most important and talked about subject and you don't know when the Bible was written is because the cult deceived you manipulating the information with disastrous consequences. What other explanation could there be? God exists because nothing can be created from nothing, however the concept of religion is so absurd and ridiculous that only fools willing to believe whatever for the empty promise of eternal happiness would not understand the deception. Christianity is defeated with one question, who witnessed and wrote about the birth of Jesus Christ? Would you memorize a logical fallacy to preserve knowledge useful for future generations and not lie to innocent and vulnerable children? Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist.

@rickintexas1584 Says:
I am a professional magician, and also a Christian. In the magic community we use the word “miracle” all the time referring to a strong magic trick. It often makes me cringe. I’ve seen some magicians who “magically” turn water into wine. I’m not a fan of this “trick”. When someone asks if I can do that I say, “only one man turned water into wine, and I am not him.”
@sidwhiting665 Says:
When I hear the word "miracle", I think of something that is out of the ordinary which transcends the laws of nature that cannot be explained by other means. For example, raising the dead, re-growing a limb, parting the waters of a sea, burning up an alter of stone that was doused with water with fire that falls down from the sky, or turning 5 loves of bread into enough food to feed 5,000-15,000 people. Things that confirm the power of God and is obvious to anyone. In other words, "Big Stuff". * I don't regard getting a job a month after losing a job as a miracle. That's just a normal course of events. It is indeed a blessing from God (i.e. Providence), but it's not a miraculous intervention in the course of nature's laws. * Sadly, too many people get suckered in by false "miracles" that are often just trickery or outright lies used to raise money for church projects. We see examples of this in the Bible too, where certain people have "magic" or "demonic power" and the result of it is to raise money and/or gain power. And it is never used to extend God's Kingdom or spread the Gospel. * No, Creflo Dollar doesn't need a jet airplane so he can spread the word of God quicker... an Internet podcast would be quicker (and far cheaper), and his "gospel" is name it and claim it prosperity hogwash.
@StruckDownNotDestroyed Says:
Miracles come in many ways and most of the time, they're subtle. A changed life from believing in Jesus Christ, answered prayers for circumstances out of our control, changes in people, places and times right when they're needed most, moments that have so many moving parts coming together to achieve a goal or fill a need that it can't be chalked up to sheer luck or coincidence. Miracles come in a variety of forms and don't need to be recognized by everyone. I've had many in my life and no one will be able to convince me otherwise. I know in whom I believe and what God has done.
