Do you Agree with these "Faith", "Miracle" Statements?


In this one thread, I will grant everyone immunity from insults...there will be no invective from me.

That being said, I'm reading a novel...which is somewhat of a mild assault on the Catholic Church, similar to Angels and Demons and the Da Vinci Code.

But I came across a couple quotes I would like to share with you...

 A Scientist and a Catholic FBI agent are discussing "miracles" and proof or evidence, and why the scientist doesnt' yet believe in God or "miracles."

And I came across this, from the Catholic:

1) "See, the thing about miracles is... if you have faith, you don't need them, and if your a doubter, well then no miracle is ever enough."

and later:

2) "Faith is easy when you're standing in front of a miracle. The real test of any faith is when there aren't any miracles."


Do you agree or disagree with these quotes? Why or why not...all opinions welcome.

I agree with that one.

faith is the evidence of things not seen...which means faith is about believing in your goal when it seems practically impossible to achieve.

Both.

1. Then the words "without faith it is impossible to please God" would be useless. Faith creates miracles...trusting God for the need to be met etc.

2. There are ALWAYS miracles. IMHO a miracle is something we cannot do for ourselves that gets done anyway as the need arises.

faith is catching an ace on the river to make a set ..

miracle is getting your tax refund check so you could buy in to the game and made the set ...

Questions?

No, just the reviews and they were very poor. Familiar with the plot line though. That's how I recognized it. Archeologist (hot) and Male Catholic FBI agent. Shades of the TV show "Bones".
