Christendom Miracles

[gmcbroom]

Okay I’m curious. The Catholics have documented miracles they’ve investigated. The Orthodox do as well. What about the other branches of Christendom? In short have the Anglicans/Episcapalians both Low and High (I know there is a difference), Methodists, Lutherans, Mormons, Jehovas Witnesses, Baptists,etc all have investigated documented miracles within their respective branches of Christianity? My goal here is not to place one church over another. It is simply to see if all branches have documented miracles. Because if they do then perhaps just perhaps they share a common thread. Then perhaps it wouldn’t be so imprtant how one says their prayers, so long as they say them. Unity after a fashion.

I’m sorry no one has answered your question yet.

I was raised Protestant and have done a lot of research on Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. I know that some Protestant branches, especially Pentecostal, and Mormons claim to have personal miracles, but as far as I know none of them have a formal way to investigate to see if they truly are miracles or not. In Pentecostal Revivals, there have been many times when supposed “miracles” have been completely falsified - for example, it is common that someone will show up in a wheel chair claiming they can’t walk and then the Pastor gives them the Holy Spirit - “You are HEALED” and suddenly the person can walk, yet people who know that person know that they could always walk.

I think that only the Catholics and Orthodox have a formal way to investigate miracles.

Hopefully some one else will answer and shed more light on the issue.
