This particular verse caused me severe theological distress because it translates, in my opinion, that true Christians should have the ability to do miracles, not only that but greater miracles than what’s recorded in scripture.

So where’s all the evidence?
Game over.

Game is ongoing.

Look at Dispenza’s list of videos on his YouTube channel.

Fool that I am I relied on real medicine. I had the latest flu shot and COVID booster. Dang! I could have just gone to “quantum” health seminars and meditated.

Ker-ist you can look at Dispenza’s website and tell he is a New Age goofball. If Jesus returns you think he will have light shows and “quantum” seminars at $300 a pop?

Dispenza’s work is based on the latest findings in

neuroscience

quantum physics

epigenetics: the study of how environmental and behavioral factors can affect how genes worK

psychoneuroimmunology: the study of the effect of the mind on health and resistance to disease.

Those aren’t miracles. Those are healings.

You linked to a page that says

Watch and listen to stories of miraculous healings.

Was Jesus a healer? Yes.

What’s your point?

Comment 4 includes after the testimonial the explanation that some people

were blind but now they see

I couldn’t walk but now I can.

That is astonishing. What a possibility.

Go back and tell John the Baptist what you hear and see: the blind see, etc.

@Steefen

(what’s your point?)

The healing works of Jesus (by the Father through Jesus. John 14:10, John 10:38, John 5:19) were instantaneous healings. These type of psychological therapies take much longer to accomplish. That is a distinction. Time. Instantaneous is supernatural. Nobody reads or hears about quantum physics spirituality one day and is instantaneously healed from their emotional distress or illness (the suffering). What we’re seeing now is the end of the psychology profession (the psychiatrist who prefers to prescribe medications to experiment if the meds will fix the problem) while the medical profession creates the new synthetic opium pandemics.

@Colin Milton

All of the healings of Jesus and the disciples were not instantaneous.

Mark 9:28-29

Matthew 17: 19-21

and we have Bill BEngston who cured mice and humans of cancer

If curing humans of cancer was not in this video, it is in his book The Energy Cure.

Tell all these “miracle workers” to head down to Atlanta to the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and have at it instead of conducting pricey seminars for well-heeled white people and making YouTube videos.
