And you don’t witness?
Paul said you must have two or three witnesses to establish any word
In the case of miracles.
Acts 1
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
Jesus had to have 12 witnesses to the resurrection which was a miracle.
John 4
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
John 4
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
Jesus had 12 witnesses as to who he was so do we need miracles to believe in him?
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
As far as the witnessing goes,I believe I saw an angel one night as I was walking down the street.
To make a long story short I was hungry and there was a café ahead of me abut 50 feet which I had already checked and found it closed.
There was an alcove I guess is what you would call it, you walked in the first door and was in an in closer and then the main door.
A man was coming from the other direction and I noticed he was wearing a sort of wide brimmed city hat and a rain coat, this was in 1970 and the hat was of a style 20 years before that.
He opened the outer door and walked in but since he did not come back out I thought I must have been mistaken about it being closed so I walked in about 5 or 10 seconds behind him.
The alcove was only about 6 feet square, he was not there and the café was still closed, he would not have had the time to unlock it go in and relock it and disappear inside as the complete inside was visible from the out side.
After this a few other weird things happened which could be explained and I believe they happened in order to convince me that the first thing could also be explained.
I was perfectly innocent in the above matter but generally these things happen when I am not at my best behavior.
“If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.” James 1:26,27
We are not to advertise the stupid things we do and most of my witnessing would include stupid things, so what kind of a witness would that be?
People who are whole so to speak only need the word of our savior, it is people who are in bad trouble that may need shaken up.
“We are not to advertise the stupid things we do and most of my witnessing would include stupid things, so what kind of a witness would that be?”
I don’t know what you may have done, so I can’t really say. However, I was thinking of something like, “God really does forgive us, because he showed up and told me so.”
“People who are whole so to speak only need the word of our savior, it is people who are in bad trouble that may need shaken up.”
Perhaps your experiences might be the spark that ignites faith in someone else.
21st century Americans who have a supernatural experience are mostly inclined to hush up about it.
