What Are Biblical Miracles?
The term “miracle,” as used today, has come to mean just about anything that a person wants to make it mean. Many religious people refer to ordinary things as miraculous. This has damaged the perception of Biblical miracles. In general terms, a miracle is an inexplicable event that appears to transcend or suspend all natural laws (or observations). it is supernatural in origin. Biblically a miracle is an act of mighty power that originated from God. C. S; Lewis wrote that a miracle is ‘+. .. an interference with Nature by supernatural power. Unless there exists, in addition to Nature, something else which we may call the supernatural, there call be no miracles” (Miracles 5). Miracles transcend nature. They do not conform to typical observations of the natural world. Some miracles in the Bible are not so much unnatural, but supernatural Arndt wrote: “At times it may be exactly like a natural event; but the conditions under which it takes place are such that we classify it as a miracle”
