Jesus and Miracles

[downbeatplumb]

Dont forget, Christ healed lepars, brought a man back from the dead after he began to decompose, scraped scales of the eye balls of the blind, reconstituted withered limbs, even reattached a severed appendage, among hundreds if not thousands of other things. I would assume being resurrected had something to do with that power he had or had access to.

All of what was done is indeed explainable. Just maybe not to where any of us can explain or even comprehend the explaination even if we heard it. Isn't it a little presumptuous to think that just because something can be explained you are smart enough to decipher what has been explained to you?

And kings cure scrofula with a touch until 1825 when apparently this wouldn't work anymore.

In the Middle Ages it was believed that "royal touch", the touch of the sovereign of England or France, could cure diseases due to the divine right of sovereigns. Scrofula was therefore also known as the King's Evil. From 1633, the Book of Common Prayer of the Anglican Church contained a ceremony for this, and it was traditional for the monarch (king or queen) to present to the touched person a coin – usually an Angel, a gold coin the value of which varied from about 6 shillings to about 10 shillings. In England this practice continued until the early 18th century. King Henry IV of France is reported as often touching and healing as many as 1,500 individuals at a time.
Queen Anne touched the infant Samuel Johnson in 1712,[2] but King George I put an end to the practice as being "too Catholic".[citation needed] The kings of France continued the custom until Louis XV stopped it in the 18th century, though it was briefly revived to universal derision in 1825.
In the 18th century, Elizabeth Pearson, an Irish herbalist, proposed a treatment for scrofula involving herbs and a poultice and extract of vegetable; and in 1815, Sir Gerard Noel presented a petition to the House of Commons advocating her treatment.[3]

People believe all sorts of crap.
