God doesn’t certify them.
No where in Scripture is there a certifying body.
Peter walked down the street and as his shadow fell on people they were healed.
Today, we have “miracles lite” - someone prays to someone who is departed, doesn’t know if they are heard, assumes they were the cause, a committee stamps a big yes on it, and then the number is tallied to proclaim someone a saint.
It is all bogus.
Why don’t you go find something useful to do instead of harassing Catholics?
“God doesn’t certify them.”
He does - through the Church to which He gave authority.
“No where in Scripture is there a certifying body.”
False. The Apostles served as the certify body in the early Church. Peter, for instance, explains the gift of tongues (a miracle). That would show a recognition of the miracle as a miracle.
“Peter walked down the street and as his shadow fell on people they were healed.”
Yes.
“Today, we have “miracles lite” - someone prays to someone who is departed, doesn’t know if they are heard, assumes they were the cause, a committee stamps a big yes on it, and then the number is tallied to proclaim someone a saint.”
Miracle lite? If someone is healed, it isn’t “lite”. It is “kabod” (”heavy”, “glory”: Strong’s #3519b).
“It is all bogus.”
Nope. Christ - working through Padre Pio - healed Gemma who was born blind because she was born without pupils. Afterward she could see. She STILL has no pupils. That’s impossible. It’s also true. A birth defect cannot defeat God.
Supposedly the Vatican does a careful study and an irrefutable miracle is what it takes to end up being declared a saint.
Peter was Peter, but in this age of modernity, much is required to provide proof.
I wonder if there should be a study if whether or not the miracle is from a diabolical source.
