It's possible that my response reflects a certain . . . element of reflex to the typical hereon.

However, in terms of the report--I found the reporting person very convincing. It may be that my long term relationship with the reporting route was a factor.

I also found a witness in my spirit as I read the report--much stronger than average by quite a margin, in fact. Either one of those would have been sufficient for me. Both together are certainly sufficient.

The pharisees demanded a sign. Modern day ones demand proof WITH A CERTAIN ATTITUDE. Your wording and style seem consistent with that attitude.

I'll see what I can track down in terms of the longer report. But, I don't think anything will convince you until you are 30 minutes away from death from perhaps lung cancer with massive masses over 70%+ of your lungs and then healed dramatically with accompanying X-rays. You MIGHT then believe. I'm skeptical short of that--that you'd believe any "evidence" regardless of how dramatic or rigorously obtained.

There are no accompanying medical stuff with the report. Just honest people in a room with needs when they arrived at the movie. As they left, the physical needs were gone. As the blind man in the NT said--'I don't know all that. All I know is that once I was blind but now I can see.'

I'm curious, does your theology preclude healings in the modern era--since St John ran out of ink with Revelation?

The blind man would be easy to verify. All I'm asking for is some proof that a medical problem, not spiritual need,feelings or other unproveable want, existed, but now does not, as a direct result of viewing this film. That is what you stated happened.

It is a good thing that I am not (I hope) dying of lung cancer at this moment, as you apparently wish on me for daring to question you or your Gods.
I do gather that you are taking the report of someone because you find them convincing. Liberals practice the same kind of "feel good" science to support their views.

I thought one of the hallmarks of a conservative was the ability and willingness and insistance of facing FACTS and basing our decisions/views on those! I realize that religion is one of those feel good things that you can neither prove or disprove, but if are going to say supernatural things occurred please be prepared to back that up with some kind of facts! Not hearsay

I have no personal bias for or against modern or ancient "miracles".
