Clarification on Miracles

being His sheep

And I asked "how will I know his voice?" and you answered "by listening to Him", at which my impatient self was frustrated, it was a circle!
Then....7 years later...I realize, that was some of the best advice I ever received. Knowing God goes in self-referential loops, as God said to Moshe on Sinai.
When Moshe asked for a sign to trust God on to take the Israelites out of Egypt. God's sign "this will be your sign, that when you bring them out of Egypt, you will worship me on this mountain." So the sign--'needed' to learn how to trust God--IS trusting God. Trust builds trust. Listening builds knowing His voice. Getting to know God, one day of listening at a time. And miracles, learning his messages, learning to hear his voice, and be his little sheep.
Thanks, Daddy.

Miracles. I'll take a few.

congratulations! you touched on the elusive "unified field theory," with the best explanation yet. It's an "Eternal unifying Spirit-" not an "it equation-mysterious force." Therefore, when He (the Eternal Spirit) commands molecules to behave differently (than normal), so that five thousand can be fed from two fish and five loaves, then what's the problem? Oh I forgot, that's not scientific. My bad.

"In the beginning was the Word...and the Word was God...All things were made through Him..." John 1:1-3

More clarification?

Patrick, I just had two long conversations on the topic: one at a panel last night at Princeton University, and the other with a librarian filling an inter-library loan on miracles. Then your comment made me think I should probably post another clarification with some "scientific" references. Check back in 24 hours and there should be a new post.
