🤔🕵️♂️ What kinds of miracles are found in the Bible ❓❓
Posted : 31 May, 2023 11:00 AM
There are different kinds of miracles recorded in the Bible, along with different ways to categorize them. Some miracles are physical as well as nonphysical. Physical miracles would be raising the dead, parting the Red Sea, walking on water, etc. Nonphysical miracles would be knowing someone’s heart, speaking in tongues, and prophesying. But, not all miracles are from God. There are demonic miracles. Therefore, we can also categorize miracles as those worked by God and those worked by demonic forces. This is important because Jesus warned us about false miracle workers.
“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS,'” (Matthew 7:22–23).
“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect,” (Matthew 24:24).
As you can see in Matthew 7:22-23, some people performed miracles but were never Christians. Therefore, they performed them with demonic influence. Nevertheless, the following is a list of different miracles. First, I will categorize them as physical and spiritual (non-physical). Second, I will categorize them by those performed by God and those by demonic forces.
