Was Paul or any of the authors of the four gospels an eyewitness to Jesus' miracles?
It is undisputed that Paul was not an eyewitness to the miracles that are recorded in the four gospels. Christian tradition hold that the Gospels according to Matthew, Mark and John were written by disciples of that name, who were eyewitnesses to some of the miracles that they reported. Since Christian tradition hold that Luke's Gospel was written by a young companion of Paul, then the author of this gospel was clearly not an eyewitness of the miracles. Matthew's Gospel was written in Greek and clearly used Mark's Gospel as its main source for the life of Jesus, as did Luke's Gospel. This can be shown because whenever Matthew and Luke agree with Mark, the Greek words are almost identical, something that could not have occurred if Matthew was relying on personal memory. Whenever Matthew and Luke agree on sayings of Jesus, that are not in Mark's Gospel, they use identical words for the sayings, but place them in different contexts and even different times of the ministry of Jesus. Scholars say they must have used as their sources a common document of sayings attributed to Jesus, a document now known as the Q Document, and created plausible contexts in which Jesus could have spoken those sayings. The fact that Matthew, as well as Luke, relied so heavily on Mark and the Q Document means that this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. John's Gospel was also written in Greek and shows evidence of borrowing much of its material from Luke's Gospel. Once again, this author could not have been an eye-witness to the miracles. Only the author of Mark's Gospel could have been an eye-witness to the miracles, but much evidence internal to this gospel indicates that he was really writing a second-hand account. In summary, none of these authors was an eye-witness to the miracles.
Did Paul heal people?
In his epistles, Paul never claimed to have performed any healing miracles, even though to have announced this would have assisted his missionary work enormously, especially when he faced many challenges to his authority. Of course, had he made any such claim himself, he might have been asked to provide evidence, or to have helped another deserving Christian. If he then failed to do so, his credibility would have been utterly destroyed.After a safe interval of around fifty years, Acts of the Apostles claimed that Paul really had performed miraculous cures and other miracles, although each such miracle was matched by at least one even more awe-inspiring and worthy miracle performed by St. Peter. According to Acts, Paul's first miraculous cure was improbably similar to Peter's first cure. In both cases, a man who had been lame since birth was immediately cured by being commanded to stand and walk. Peter's first miracle cure was performed in the name of Jesus, at the Temple, where the faithful saw the healed beggar praising God, and was the opportunity for some outstanding proselytising. Paul's first cure was clumsy and without apparent purpose, given that Paul did not tell the man about Jesus and he was even mistaken for a pagan god.Acts says that Paul also resuscitated a young man who foolishly fell asleep in an upper storey window and fell to the ground, although the story leaves some uncertainty as to whether the young man was really dead when Paul intervened to revive him. This was more than matched by Peter, who resurrected Tabitha, a good woman and a disciple, who was certainly dead and her body had already been washed, a miracle that became known throughout Joppa and, as a result, many were converted.Acts of the Apostles was defining Paul and Peter for the Christian faithful, not writing history. On this evidence, it can be concluded that Paul did not perform any miracles at all.
What problems did Saint Andrew face?
Although nothing is really known about the life and death of the apostle Andrew, the apocryphal Acts of Andrew provides testimony of the miracles that came to be attributed to him. In a work typical of some of the hagiography of the time, Acts of Andrew credits Andrew with some extravagant miracles, including miraculous escapes. He survived being placed amongst fierce animals, calmed storms and even defeated armies simply by crossing himself.
Two prophets in the book of revelations?
Many people regard these two to be both Enoch and Elijah for the simple reason that they were each taken alive to heaven. Others include Moses as a possibility since the miracles referred to as part of the activities of these two are like a number which Moses was involved in when on earth. Though Enoch, is commonly thought of as one of the two "witness' in Revelations because he never died he is rather the character that is to become the type of the church, in particular the church at the rapture, that is called up to meet God, preceeding the beginning of the tribulation. Moses and Elijah are the most likely candidates for many reasons. If you look at their ministries you will see that it is the only time of prevalent miracles, signs and wonders being performed in the Old Testament. These two also appeared talking with Christ while he was transfigured before the apostles during His earthly ministry. As he was rejected as the Jewish Messiah, he is therefore coming again to His people, with mirror like conditions. Rome will again be in power with a revived Roman Empire, miracles signs and wonders will again become prevalent as they were during Christ's first coming and during the ministries of Elijah and Moses, and Elijah and Moses will be there in the tribulation as the two witness's testifying to the world who the Anti Christ, who imposters the Jewish Messiah, really is, telling the world that this character who we call antichrist is in fact the Devil incarnate. They will be there during this time, as likewise they were there during the first coming. Its all going to come full circle. I hope that helps.
Did Jesus perform miracles in Palestine?
Most Christians believe: yes he did, just as recorded in the gospels. Some, such as the Jesus Seminar, say that not all the events described in the gospels really happened, but Jesus may have performed some miracles in Palestine. Finally, others point out that there are credible reasons for rejecting the historicity of each miracle in the New Testament. On this last view, Jesus did not perform any miracles.
Is it possible that the Gospel accounts of Jesus' sayings and miracles are a religious interpretation of a visit by an extraterrestial?
A:No. It would be far more believable to say either that Jesus really did perform miracles or that the gospels stories are, at least in large part, fabrications.
Why can't people see that God really doesn't do healing miracles?
Many people who have personally experienced miracles do believe that God can and does perform healing miracles in answer to prayer. Often the answer to prayer is different from what we want because God has another plan for the person. Thousands believe that the person pulled alive from the rubble a full month after the Haitian earthquake was definitely a miracle!

What miracles did Peter witness Jesus perform?
There are too many miracles that Peter and the other disciples witnessed to be listed here. We can not even count the number as we are told in the Gospels that Jesus traveled around to the towns and synagogues preaching and working wonders (miracles). Peter and the other disciples traveled with Jesus so you can be sure that they saw very many wondrous things done by Jesus. If you really care how many miracles are listed i suggest you read the Gospels in the New Testament.

How long does a person with thymic cancer live?
It really depends on the stage of cancer, and the will and strength of the person, unless the cancer becomes overpowering, as well as the actions taken to fight against it. Treatment and what not. With cancer really there is no way to tell. It takes miracles either direction.
How many miracles did Peter perform?
If you are talking about miracles in the biblical sense, then Peter performed no miracles. The fact is: no apostle or human being has ever performed, or can everperform a miracle. Miracles can be performed throughhuman beings but miracles cannot be performed byhuman beings. All such biblical type miracles which have been performed in the past - and which are performed in the present - through human beings derive from spirit (or God as Christians prefer) and from the power which derives from the spirit. It is the Father (or spirit) working through the human being that doeth the work of creating the miracle or spiritual phenomenon.
