Miracles, anyone?

I love miracles. People of faith live in acceptance of them - kind of make things easy and convenient to explain - even daily events we may not normally need to.

It may even bring a lot of positive outlook and enthusiasm to life, which could otherwise, be dreary and dry.

The happy parents looking lovingly at their newborn and feeling so grateful for having the love child of their lives, may say - "...it's a miracle!"

The toddler that he becomes falls down unscathed, and they say, "...it's a miracle!"

He grows up taller and bigger than them after only 13 short years, and they remark, "...it's a miracle!"

So, there's a lot of other things in our daily that we can attribute miracles to.

The word "miracle", however, can only be used appropriately when describing events that lack rational or scientific explanation.

It is an integral part of Christian life, however, dwindling.

It is equated with being a faithful one, especially when it means believing "...in the things unseen."

Of all the miracles recorded in the Bible, and there are many, the core miracle that makes Jesus different from anyone, was His birth - born of a virgin, "begotten" of God (which, interpreted, means, born without a human or biological father; the process, being a spontaneous one.) And this is taken as a reason, if not the believer's proof of Jesus' divinity that sets Him apart from the rest of humanity, who are, in religious terms, conceived in "unrighteousness".

The beautiful story has gone on...is still going on, because it's simply beautiful, especially for the faithful - and the children.

You wouldn't want to dampen the beauty of Christmas celebration by negating the story, would you? Why, even un curso de milagros  -Christians jump into the bandwagon of the celebration even without knowing the story behind!

Children love the story so much and nobody's going to threaten the glitter of joy in their eyes...

How I love children! Jesus loves children!

But times are changing: to the rational mind who takes the absolute universal reality that multiplication of physical bodies in man, as well as all other lesser forms, call it reproduction, takes place only through the union of opposites (male and female or positive and negative as the building block of matter), that Jesus was born and lived (existed at a given time and place on earth) means, he must have had biological parents.

Mary is, of course, the mother.

How about the father?

We're sure it's not Joseph. But according to this universal truth, there should be. To think otherwise is contrary to the cosmic reality - everyone is born from a set of parents, father and mother.

Then, it must have been God. It's a miracle! We have nothing to explain it with. It's a miracle - but we break the universal rule, that multiplication or reproduction occurs through interaction of opposites. If God be the author of universal principles, He wouldn't want anyone breaking any of them - not even Himself, being the Absolute One.

It is alright to believe in miracles...but for how long?
