about this page***
Why did 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 to bring folk into touch with God and represent actual concrete proclamations of there being YHWH 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!
