The Truth... What is it?





Name Index

Why did/does Jesus NOT miraculously cure everyone? If God is love, why do bad things happen to good people? Why wouldn't a good God make all things right? Here's why: because there is a better place after this life on earth (though God never treats tragedy & death trivially). Then, why miracles? Miracles happen as God-signs to bring folk into touch with God and represent actual concrete, earthly proclamations...signs...of there being YHWH God. In collecting testimonies of miracles and the Grace of God, I have NEVER heard one that included any audible reprimand from God! Many of the below have testimonies and histories elsewhere in the internet, and those may be located by using your favorite search engine. For many, this website will be essentially the only source of their testimony. Enjoy!
