My professor colleague, a skeptical experimental experimental psychologist, was profoundly changed by the miracles he witnessed at Mejdugorje and my lawyer acquaintance saw angelic light beings there. By contrast, Blood Bought and Stan B. seethe with obvious hatred which reflects very badly on their Christian heritage. I doubt that they have experienced any spectacular miracles in their lives and their church. Both of them lack the integrity to watch the posted documentary, so that they might actually know what they're talking about. So it is not worth responding to their vile screed.
Speaking of miracles, Dick (a very bright member of my church) went as a tourist to visit, among other holy sites, the house of the Virgin ary near Ephesus. He went on this tour, despite pain from torn ligaments and bad arthritis in his knee and was scheduled for surgery as soon as he returned. After he walked through Mary's impressive little first-century house atop a mountain, another tourist saw him limping badly and urged him to fill his water bottle with water from the nearby Marian healing spring. There was a spigot in a nearby wall for this purpose. He filled his bottle just to be polite, but didn't believe this nonsense. He was in pain when he returned to his hotel, and so, his wife Mary Ann urged him to pour the water on his knee. Dick replied, 'Why? It's just water!" She retorted, "What do you have to lose?" So he did and felt a little better, but attributed this to a placebo effect.
When he returned home, his knee was immediately operated on by the top orthopedic surgeon in Spokane. When Dick came out of the anesthetic, his surgeon stood at the foot of his bed with an alarmed expression on his face. He said, 'I don't understand it. We had MRIs and X-rays confirming your knee damage. But when he cut you open, we found nothing wrong with your knee. In fact, even your arthritis was gone!" What amazed Dick most was the fact neither he nor his wife believed this Marian stream water could have healing efficacy. He shared his glowing healing testimony in my Methodist church.
Inspired by Dick's testimony, I took a Footsteps of Paul tour of Greece and Turkey and also joined the throngs who visited the house of Mary. even our Muslim guide told us that Mary's spring was useful for healings. We climbed the steps of the mountain and when our turn came to enter the house, the young woman behind me fell prostrate on the floor, overcome with awe and ecstasy as she experienced God's presence in that little house. As for me, I felt a sense of the holy more powerfully there than at any sacred site in Greece or Israel, including the Sea of Galilee and the Garden Tomb during my tour of Israel's holy sites!
