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.
