You clearly show that the Bible does refer to such acts and actually endorses them in certain sections, but biblical interpretation and reading is dependent upon the particular church one is brought up in and practices with. Many churches do think that certain actions perhaps are more often the inner workings of human beings rather than God's direct intervention, at least where only the minority of those events are actual interventions.<BR/><BR/>For a person of Christian faith (or presumable any faith that believes in a God[s] that interacts with this world) it is a matter of marking lines in the sand as to where is an event originating in the individual, originating with the individual while also keeping orthodox with Biblical teaching or the direct intervention of God through an individual's body.The Wolfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14339964200261036496noreply@blogger.com
