Miracles in the Bible

The Bible predicts many prophecies that come true. Fulfilled predictions are a type of miracle that can be tested centuries after the event took place. Some ways to help prove the miracles are as follows: You need good evidence 1) that the text clearly envisions the sort of event alleged to be the fulfillment, 2) that the prophecy was made well in advance of the event predicted, 3) that the prediction actually came true and 4) that the event predicted could not have been staged by anyone but God. The strength of this evidence is greatly enhanced if 5) the event itself is so unusual that the apparent fulfillment cannot be plausibly explained as a good guess.

With those five reasons listed, a good example of this is with Christ being killed and then raised from the dead. In the Old Testament there are many times where it says that God will send his only son down to earth as a man, to die on the cross to forgive every sin. In Isaiah 53 it says "Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows" (v. 4). "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed" (v.5). " He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth" (v.9). Then in the New Testament there are several accounts of Christ raising from the dead after he was crucified. That is what Christianity is based on, Christ raising from the dead. That is just an example of a miracle.
