The Plausibility of Miracles in a Materialistic Age - Prof Craig S Keener
Laidlaw College was delighted to host New Testament scholar and author, Professor Craig Keener, at our Henderson campus in September 2019. During that time, he gave a public lecture on “The Plausibility of Miracles in a Materialistic Age”. He noted that a common reason for sceptics doubting the historical authenticity of the gospels is the presence of miracles. While writing a commentary on the Gospel of Mark, of which one-third contains miracle stories, a planned footnote on miracles turned into his book, Miracles: The Credibility of the New Testament Accounts (2011).
In his public lecture, Professor Keener noted that most modern prejudice against biblical miracle reports depends on David Hume’s argument that uniform human experience leads us to never expecting miracles. Keener looked at the question of whether there are some credible eyewitnesses for miracles today, and gave story after story of historical and current day miracles - many hand in hand with ground breaking evangelism throughout the world.

After being actively engaged in praying for dramatic healings and miracles of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual problems, I see every salvation as a miracle. Thank God for his careful reporting and biblical grounding. We have seen many answers to specific prayers including one in which my arterial block was cleaned out.
very encouraging, thanks for this. I'm currently reading the 2 volume book by Craig

I agree, this was an encouraging video! I had already heard about Barbara Snyder 36:21 from Lee Strobel, if I recall correctly.
This is Wonderful Not that I don't believe in miracles but because it presents them as a natural matter of fact happening without hyped up faith, confession or about self. This is about allowing God to be God, and knowing that He can and does heal. So inspiring.
It is great this is being done by schorlars and in the academic circles where we have most doubts.
Love this!
Does anyone know of any candidates for sainthood? I am on a mission to meet meet as many as possible.
and an atheist can still disbelieve. i had broken ribs, I went to a hospital and was xray'd. i was told it would be about 6weeks before I healed. I prayed and within three days was healed. I have been accused by an atheist of "lie-ing for the Lord" after giving my testimony during my final statement during a debate.
Why credible channels such like national geographic and discovery channel do not bother to investigate miracles claims.?

They have this weird rule about verifiable claims that makes it hard to take on accounts of hearsay.

@@sarbnitrof4663 SO......none of these accounts? Lmao that isn't the reason and you know it. Actually, it's because they're scared of the truth. If secular sources approved of the reality of miracles, the world we know it would collapse and so would the economy. Everything would change. You think they want that? No.
