Faith is required for miracles agree
Faith is always necessary for healing in gospels - we can see this every time Jesus healed someone.
It was their faith in Jesus that made people well â eg a woman with a haemorrhage showed faith and her faith saved her. Prayer strengthens a personâs belief, allowing miracles to happen
Today, people have faith in medical staff that they know what they are doing when we are in their care.
Miracles take place today when we have faith - eg there have been 69 certified cures in Lourdes
Faith is required for miracles disagree
Miracles strengthen faith so miracle has to happen first and then a person will trust and have faith.
People today require proof in order to have faith
People find it hard to have faith in a world of suffering and strife.
Having great faith does not mean miracles always happen
Some may find it hard to accept that miracles happen and consider it to be luck or a coincidence
Miracles still happen today agree
People have received terminal diagnosis from doctors yet some have made a full recovery.
69 cases in Lourdes where science and medicine cannot explain why person has made a full recovery. healed because of faith in miraculous water of Lourdes
Jesus performed miracles to people in the past who had faith and prayed
Miracles still happen today disagree
lot of miracles have logical or scientific explanation e.g boy with evil spirit maybe had epilepsy and Jairusâ daughter was probably in a diabetic coma
People rely on doctors and medical treatments because they know they can cure them
some believe its waste of money going to site of a miracle because they just donât happen
People today do not place any importance on religion anymore so they donât have faith or pray, therefore miracles canât happen.
