I am fascinated by the acts of one Pastor Kanyari that everyone is talking about. After being exposed, I heard, and these were only rumors, he too gave a list of other pastors with the same tendencies to falsify miracles. Mine was there too; I won’t mention him/her though. And it was embarrassing, I have lived to avoid my friends since the outbreak of this news. Maybe to let you know, we have for long disputed about God’s power to heal, and maybe perform a miracle today. Many of my friends think that a miracle was a thing of the old that doesn’t exist in the modern world. I also believed so before my pastor convinced me that the God of then is still the God of today, and what He did then He could still deliver this day.
But having been exposed is yet to be an enough prove to reject the hypothesis of miracles. What it has done is shift the discussion to another level. We have moved from the discussion of to believe or not in a miracle, to one in which we ask ourselves whether only miracles justify God’s existence. This is true because, if you go through many of the comments on the social media, you will single out majority who have rushed to conclude that the whole matter of faith, religion is a misty illusion. For one, we have to question the faith of this Kanyari and some other pastors who claim to perform miracles. This way, we will avoid picking people who are not religious as case studies of the tendencies of Christianity. Secondly, the best alternative to religion is science, but science has too failed to deliver in many fields, but the tolerant we have not rushed to reject the assertions of science. So please, before you point a finger, give has a firm and better foundation of the origin and purpose of the universe besides science and religion.
