Sarah became pregnant at the age of 90, and read the Bible and see! If you are in the Kingdom of God, you also find out about many miracles happening around the world! Jesus is faithful and true and he will never leave his children. Give a verse or two. Thanks.

Oh yes I am!! :))

Ten yrs ago God healed my friend from a wheelchair, so many physical problems, and emotional too...

One day she was bound up, next day walked into church!!! now traveling the world with the evangelist who prayed for her sharing what our God can do :))



Ruth, one day she was working in the field, next day she owned it when Boaz took her to be his wife :)

Rebekah, one day going about her daily chores watering camels, when Issac's servant chose her to be Issac's wife, with a promise, as we know :)

Abigail, one day married to a man who was cruel, David saw the wisdom of God in her and came to the place he knew he couldn't live without her, God rescued her from a cruel and loveless marriage ...



Do I believe God can do anything - YES I DO!! :)))



Sarah is a beautiful example (((M))) xx

God CAN do anything but the truth of the matter is WILL he/she?



But why stick with the Bible which is a highly edited version of the scriptures (why was the Book of Enoch omitted for example)? Look at the Qu'ran (where Abraham Sarah's husband is revered); read the Bhagavad Gita; pore over the teachings of the Buddha. It may come as a shock to Christians but God is not a Christian as all the 'faiths' are merely a manifestation in Man's desire to believe that 'someone' created the Universe.



On a personal level, I find it very disappointing that the human mind is so constrained that it has to 'personalise' what is clearly energy manifesting as an infinite consciousness. There is 'something' much greater than what we can see or even know and that is where Belief and Faith appear to bridge the 'gap' in understanding and knowledge.

The Old Testament is written mostly in metaphor. BUT..Why does everyone need something so huge to latch onto. There is no size to a miracle. Miracles occur all around us everyday.

By the way, I prayed a simple prayer to send me a sign that I was going on the right path when I first seriously considered becoming Christian. All I said was "Please Lord, send me a revelation. I am willing." Then figuring nothing huge would happen other than maybe a sense of peace or something, I went about my daily routines. About 10 days later I was at work as a cashier and I looked up for the next customer and had the wind knocked out of me. Jesus was standing just to the right of the line looking deep into my eyes with the most incredible look of love I have ever seen. I continued to take customers and when I looked back up He was gone. I felt that love for a long time afterward. So yes, I believe God can do anything.

You call becoming pregnant at age 90 a 'miracle', I call it 'math'!

Reaching puberty at age 12, she would have have `1,014 + ovum at birth, that just means she was born with many more opportunities to birth a child than most other females!



As to the verses, I don't want to type all that up, but just read Luke 19:27!

Also, as I recall, Jesus Christ didn't have children, lest it be like as told in "The DeVinci Code"!



Add: As I recall, Sarah had 16 children, yes? But that was that she lay barren for long before she gave the first, yes?



Also, as I also recall, Adam and Eve [accordingly] lived to some hundred years old, then it was lessened, etc., etc., etc., I'll type those up in just a moment!



After Cain, Able, and their sisters, according to NWT, Genesis 5:3 'Adam then lived on for 130 years. Then he became father to a son in his likeness, in his image, and called him Seth.' At that time, Adam was about 300 years of age! Amazingly, Christians claim the Earth is about 6,000 years old, yet even the Sumerians who lived more than 17,000 years ago, even then only made it into the mid 70's! And the years where longer then too, so can you not see an issue with the mathematics given in The Holy Bible? Genesis 5:5 'So all the days of Adam that he lived amounted to nine hundred thirty years and he died.'



Adam fathered Seth, Seth fathered Enosh.

Adam lived 930 years, Seth 912, Enosh 905!

.....Are you quite aware that God CAN do anything?



Yes, absolutely!



Edit - traptin85:



Jesus was the God of the old testament who walked in the Garden of Eden and created Adam and Eve, so he had everything to do with it.



John 1



1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.



3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.



14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.



John 1:18

No one has seen God at any time.



John 6:46

No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father.

Well some people forget that it is only by his grace and love that we wake up with breath everyday..some people don't even have that. We just forget and we need certain situations, certain people to remind us that's all. However, the human mind cannot comprehend how great or who God is. He is too complex to comprehend. To some they are intimidated thus they deny him altogether and to some it is something to marvel at and have faith in. God, heloim is life itself..he is the alpha and omega he is the way the truth and the light. You can only go through Jesus to get to God and he says if there is another way to heaven other then him then he is not God. Jesus says you do not get to heaven by works or deeds but acceptance of his sacrifice and faithfulness to God. Amazing!

In this condition I am not in the site of god because in this modern age a women after 45 age cannot bear the child for the health of both mother and child. Sarah was 90 how can it be possible that she give the birth of the child and believe in god .it's impossible.

I do hope you actually read this, because it's meant to give you advice on how to actually defend your ideas, and make them less vulnerable to argument. You're using what is called circular reasoning, it is known as a logical fallacy, meaning that it is not logical, even if it correct. You see, your first premise is the same as your second, your proof for anything, cannot be your assumption, if they are the same, then they don't work. See the Bible itself isn't proof that Sarah was pregnant at 90, it's proof that is says she was pregnant at 90. You see, just as if I wrote a book right at this very moment claiming that unicorns made us all out of rainbows. The book I wrote, in itself, is not proof that unicorns made us out of rainbows, it's proof that I said that they made us out of rainbows. now, moving onward, if you were to use this form of logic in an argument, and were to except as a valid argument, then it's a valid argument for every other religion, as well. The Koran also shares miraculous stories, and they, as well, might be true, but...being written down in the Koran does not make them true. If I were to accept your argument, that would also make the god Allah, of the Koran, existing and all powerful, because you could use the same argument on the Koran, or any other text as well.

God cannot lie, so you are not quite correct in thesis statement/question.



Reference Titus 1:2 (in context):



1Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

2in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago,

3but at the proper time manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

4To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.



Yes, God is Sovereign and so has complete control over the physical universe, but it is just not true that God can do anything -- (He can't make a rock that is too big for Him to lift, and He can't make a round square, etc.).



Nor can He allow sin into Heaven.



But can He allow the miracle of life to conceive in a person such as Sarah (remember people lived to about 120 in those days, and the human life-span was reduced to three score and ten after Moses time, so she may not have been as far past child bearing years as a 90-year-old would be today).



But that's not the important part of the matter -- yes -- God can and does work miracles. All the time.

2010-08-02 02:23:56 UTC
Yes, I do believe in God and aware he can do anything. He won't do things to people who are criminals and bad people though, unless they really do deserve it.



When I was little, around six maybe. I was dying of asthma. I couldn't breathe and I suppose the asthma was 'causing. It also mixed with my allergies. So I was dying (although every second of your life you are dying) of it. I kept praying and asking God for help. After a day or two I got better. Then after a week I could play basketball! It was amazing, I always thank him for that too. He truly is amazing :) People who say he doesn't exist is because nothing really has happened to them. If God really doesn't exist we still shall be thankful for all miracles.

I fail to see how this is a "miracle". One unexpected yet explainable event does not prove anything. And if it is indeed some miracle, how do you know it was not the work of another of the thousand deities created by human minds? Venus might as well have answered er prayers for all you know.
2014-05-05 19:15:19 UTC
You also have a mistaken belief about what the Bible says about Jesus... you said "he will never leave". According the New Testament, Jesus left. He's gone now. He promised his apostles he would return. There are over 200 mentions of this in the New Testament. He didn't fulfull that promise to them, and 2000 years later, he still hasn't returned, despite every single generation since then insisting he will.
2010-08-02 02:07:31 UTC
One must state it plainly. Religion comes from the period of human prehistory where nobody-not even the mighty Democritus who concluded that all matter was made from atoms-had the smallest idea what was going on. It comes from the bawling and fearful infancy of our species, and is a babyish attempt to meet our inescapable demand for knowledge (as well as for comfort, reassurance and other infantile needs). Today the least educated of my children knows much more about the natural order than any of the founders of religion, and one would like to think-though the connection is not a fully demonstrable one-that this is why they seem so uninterested in sending fellow humans to hell.

'...Jesus is faithful and he will never leave his children...'. Lets take a look at one of Jesus's children whom he never left. What about Fraulein Friesel in Austria whose father kept her in a dungeon where she didn’t see daylight for twenty-four years and came down most nights to rape and to sodomize her, often in front of the children… I want you just to take a moment to imagine how she must have begged him. Imagine how she must have pleaded. Imagine for how long. Imagine how she must of prayed everyday, how she must have beseeched Heaven. Imagine, for twenty-four years. And no. No answer at all. Nothing! No-thing! NOTHING! Imagine how those children must have felt. Now, you say, ‘That’s all right that she went through that, because she’ll get a better deal in another life.’ I ask you if you can be morally or ethically serious. And Heaven did watch it with indifference, because it knows that that score will later on be settled. So it was well worth her going through it - she’ll have a better time next time. I don’t see how you can look anyone - ANYONE- in the face, or live with yourself and say anything so hideously, wickedly immoral as that, or even imply it. I dare you to tell Fraulein Freisel that Jesus loves her.

I'm sure if he really did create the universe, the world and us. That he can of course do whatever he wants.



The question is why would he want to? I don't think god wants to change the world anytime soon otherwise he already would have.



This is if god exists by the way. I am an agnostic individual.

this is simply insane. if there were any validity to this story, I'd have to say this 'god' is quite a sicko. who was the weirdo who was banging this 90 year old woman in the 1st place? what kind of 'god' would allow a poor 90 year old woman to get pregnant to begin with? by the time that kid was born, both he/she and his/her mom would both be wearing diapers.

this is just mythology but if it were true- I'd have to say shame on 'god' for allowing this awful event to take place. no woman in her 90's (or anywhere near that age) is equipped to handle anything as stressful as a pregnancy.
2010-08-02 01:26:43 UTC
To a degree, yes, but it is a growth process.

Darkness can threaten, the carnal nature can

yell 'No way' quite loudly and the world can

have a lot of force in it's mockery as you can

see here. But to that degree that we know this,

'be it according to your faith', and as Jesus said

'If you say unto this mountain, be thou removed'

and as we study this, we see that as Jesus said

'greater things will you do' so that's humility

coming from the Creator. So, from 'glory to glory'

we all look to Him to move to 'higher ground' so

we can see this very thing, and then 'dwell in

the heavenlies' with Him. Blessings.

I'm thinking of a number between one and one billion, which may or may not have a decimal component.



So hell, I don't need to pull out a book. A book isn't verification that someone was made pregnant at 90, any more than it's proof of Superman or Zeus. But now there's a verifiable way. All he's got to do is whisper that number in your ear and have you say it, and I'll believe you right now.

Luke 14:26

26 ‘Whoever comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and even life itself, cannot be my disciple.

Matthew 10:34-36

34 “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.

God does something everyday. In genesis the first line was changed. This is the full weight of it. In the beginning there was chaos and darkness; God saw it and changed it into order and light. Then he looked at what he had made and saw it was good.



God changes the chaos of our lives into the order of His love every time we let Him into our lives.

With god all things are possible .. Except when it comes to silly questions about burritos so hot he can'y eat them or rocks so heavey he can't lift them ..The tougher questions are can he break his own laws of nature , or countradict himself ,make a mistake , change his mind , or go against his very nature .. Clearly we are unable to fully know or comprehend god ... hence our need for faith or trust in him .

To the one who answered regarding menopause, I have this to say: There is one verse that is really mistranslated, which states that periods will resume or return to Sarah!



A word for word translation of Gen 18:14 would read like this:



"A wonderful thing from Jehovah, periods will return unto you, and in a gestation period Sarah shall have a son".



But our translations missed the mark by miles!

have sex with women

drink, smoke

sit with me, because apparently my sins are too great for him, he can't stand it

Making a 90 year old woman pregnant seems like an act of cruelty, not compassion. If it really did happen, it sounds more like advanced medical science than God to me. Likewise the "miracles" mentioned in the Bible also sound like they were achieved with advanced technology, so perhaps "God" is an alien from a technologically advanced race.
2010-08-01 23:41:19 UTC
Blah blah blah blah blah...do you have a point? You believe in God and believe that he can do anything, if a 90 year old woman got pregnant, why didn't that same thing happen now?

On a clear night, look up at the stars in the sky. Genesis 1 records that God made all of them! Imagine the power in just one star! But it is not just about raw power. There is intelligence and design packed in our universe down to the smallest DNA strand, down to the smallest subatomic particle. God’s power and wisdom are beyond our comprehension. That is why the LORD said to Abraham in Genesis 18:14, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” That is why the LORD said to Moses when Moses questioned how God could possibly supply meat to several million Israelites in the wilderness, “Is the Lord’s arm too short?” (Numbers 11:23). That is why Jonathan told his armor bearer that the LORD didn’t need a lot of soldiers to get a victory (1 Samuel 14:6).



Jeremiah 32:17 states, “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.” Even in the spiritual realm, those that seem the farthest from salvation are not impossible for Him to reach (Mark 10:25-27). And as great as His power is, His love and mercy are just as great...even to the point of His willingness to send His own Son to die on the cross of Calvary to pay the penalty for a sinful mankind. He did this so that He, in complete justice, could forgive those who will turn away from self-reliance and sin to reliance upon Christ and His finished work. As parents, it would be far worse to see our children endure torment than go through it ourselves, and yet that is just what God the Father did. John 3:16, a familiar verse, states God’s great love: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” This love was not just for the “good” people (there are none), but for us...a fallen, sinful, unlovely, rebellious people (Romans 3:10-23)...and yet He chose to shower us with His love (Romans 5:6-10) when we didn’t deserve it.



The only thing that God cannot do is act contrary to His own character and nature. For example, Titus 1:2 states that He cannot lie. Because He is holy (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:16), He cannot sin. Because He is just, He cannot merely overlook sin. Because Christ paid the penalty for sin, He is now able to forgive those who will turn to Christ (Isaiah 53:1-12; Romans 3:26).



Truly our God is an awesome God...unchanging, eternal, unlimited in power, in majesty, in knowledge, in wisdom, in love, in mercy, and in holiness. But we are very much like the Israelites who, even after seeing God display His power and love repeatedly, doubted both His love and power as they came face to face with each new trial in their lives (e.g., Numbers 13-14). May God help us to honor Him with dependence and trust in Him through the next “crisis” we face, for He is a “very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1).

I'm sorry but using the pregnancy of a 90 years old woman is not exactly what I would use to prove your point, there are many other examples of the power of God that you could have used that might have been less argumentative.



And to answer you question, yes I know that there is a power greater than I, and that it can accomplish anything.

Silly myths and bizarre tales mean nothing.
2010-08-02 00:06:18 UTC
There is an outer Bible -- a story of men and women, of wars and wonders. And there is an inner Bible, according to ancient traditions, in which each word uncovers fathomless wisdom, beauty and light.

From the outside, the women of the Bible appear to play only a supportive role in a drama dominated by men.

From the inside emerges a story of men manipulated by potent women and nurtured with feminine values. A story that reveals the inner quality of womanhood that transcends the minds of men.

This is the secret of the words of Solomon's wisdom, "A woman of valor is the crown of her husband." As a crown is above the head and beyond it, so the inner light of womanhood is of an essence-quality, of a place the mind cannot touch.

"Whatever Sarah tells you," G-d told Abraham, "listen to her." (Genesis 21:12)

Sarah is the embodiment of the cosmic power of purification and healing of souls. What Chava (Eva) confused and stirred together, Sarah sifts and refines; where Chava entered in darkness, Sarah switches on the light. Her work continues through each generation: As the soul of Abraham draws souls in and holds them close to the Infinite Light, the soul of Sarah discerns the stains that must be cleaned and the dross that must be rejected. When any soul or spark of light is healed and returned to its source, you will know that Sarah's touch was there.

Just as EACH great woman asked our Creator to have her bring forth life, so Sarah had to ask also, as did Rachael Leah, Zipporah, Ruth, etc. Because the blessing to be fruitful and multiply applies only to men, a woman is not asked to marry and bear children because of the danger it can bring to her own life and soul. Thus, a man draws up a contract that only he promises to keep in providing for his wife, children and even provision of divorce (God forbid), and she can leave with all she inherited or brought into the marriage, including earnings of her own. A man must please his wife before himself--and when they didn't the consequences have been told in stories of the Bible. Actually, if a man denies his wife, she can ask for a GET (divorce). A man cannot rape, abuse, misuse, or force a wife to do what is unethical or immoral and when men have dragged themselves through the mud to seek out their own pleasures and not concentrate on their own commitment to a marriage, we have read the consequences over and over again. Even today, the Soap Operas on TV would not exist if the people followed either the Noah Covenant for righteous God-Fearers or the Mosaic Covenant for Jews.

Thus, for Sarah to be able to have a child by the old fashion means of martial relations (which is holy in Judaism), she had to ask for a child. Since she was approaching an age where women no longer conceived, she womb maintained the fertile ground for the future birth of Isaac. And it was also Sarah that was able to see the problems with Ishmael and his return to pagan and eventual denial of his father's words of righteous and marry a pagan. It was the wife of Moses that saved Moses by circumcising their son, and this wisdom and knowledge from the Creator was repeated through the women of the Bible.

And the beauty of Rebecca is so important, "Drink…and I will also draw water for your camels to drink." (Genesis 24:17-18)

With these words, Rebecca betrothed herself to Isaac and rose to become mother of two great nations. Not for her act of giving, alone, but for her eagerness, because she chased after any opportunity to do good, seeking it out with joy and delight, with all her soul and being.

And she implanted this within us as our inheritance. We only need awaken it and we will find the Rebecca within.

There are few stories as detailed in the Bible as the telling of the union of Rebecca and Isaac -- it is told and retold three times. For in this tale lies the birth of our people and our purpose. In it lies the inner secret for which all the cosmos was created: the fusion of opposites, the paradox and beauty of life. For this, we are here -- to unite heaven and earth. And in the union of Man and Woman is found all these.

And who is the matchmaker in this cosmic drama? It is the simple servant of Abraham, who speaks to the Master of the universe from the sincerity of his heart, who is obsessed with his mission and delights in its every step. It is each and any one of us.

But in no case was a "miracle" of a child given without the consent of the woman. It would have been inhumane of our Creator to counterattack His own laws He gave mankind.

Actually most of the Old Testament cannot be considered literal history. Archeologists have figured out that there was no Egyptian slavery, no exodus, no eradication of the Canaanites (in fact, DNA shows that the Jews ARE the Canaanites) and so forth. In other words, no your verses don't show that "God" can anything because the book itself is false in the main.

When you believe everything, no matter how unlikely it sounds, you be will disappointed many times.

You also have a mistaken belief about what the Bible says about Jesus... you said "he will never leave". According the New Testament, Jesus left. He's gone now. He promised his apostles he would return. There are over 200 mentions of this in the New Testament. He didn't fulfull that promise to them, and 2000 years later, he still hasn't returned, despite every single generation since then insisting he will.



John 14:3

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

(This was said to his apostles. That is why they believed he would come back in THEIR lifetime.)



Also read Matthew 24, especially verses 9 and 33, to see why they would think that.

How blessed will be the one who seizes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

2010-08-01 22:01:57 UTC
Good that you know this. How about I give some knowledge to you. Many do not know these things so feel free to pass them along as well. For they both work well when we do them.

Only God can reveal the meaning of his word, the bible. So if we want to know the truth we must ask God to show us meanings and give us understanding or we just guess. Before we start reading the bible ask God for knowledge and understanding, then we can know and understand it as God gives it to us.

If I wanted to know something written is Martian, I would go to someone that speaks Martian and ask them what it means so that I may understand what it says. Or I could look at it, not understanding, then say it means this or that: not knowing Martian, I could try to make it mean whatever i wanted, though this would not be the right interpretation.

Many do this with the bible, it is God's word and only God can tell us the meaning of things and give us understanding too. Or we just guess or make something up. So go to God and ask him directly for the truth of his word. And God can do this through any bible, not just some but all.



Know this about prayer, it is a three step process. God likes the number three.

1. We pray or ask God for help/something.

2. God prepares us to handle this so once we get it we will not fail with it. So God teaches us how to handle what we ask for. God is good, so he prepares us and then gives it. How great is that?

3. God gives us what we asked for.

Many ask and while #2 is happening they give up. So they do not get to #3.

So try praying again, now that you know how it works. And the more you ask for the longer it may take to prepare you for it.



I know I did not know these things when I began knowing Jesus, but these are good to know. this is how it works as well. Pray and read, and pray and get. Just remember the bigger the prayer request the longer it usually takes. So do not give up and keep praying it is coming, and once we are ready we get it. God will not make us wait any longer than needed as well.

So ask for knowledge, understanding and wisdom: and for help and other things in your life. Once we ask Jesus goes into motion doing these things.

bless you and have a great life using these things.

You know the lifespan in the Bronze age was 35, right?



Genesis says Noah was 950 years old in Gen: 9:29

It says Methusulah was 969.



The numbers aren't literal.



Why don't any 90 year olds get pregnant now?

Did God forget how to do it?



Sarah didn't become pregnant at 90. Biblical scholars realized the numbers were mistranslated, of course. People lived much shorter lives in the Bronze and Iron ages due to lack of medical care and lack of sanitation. Certainly you don't think people lived to be almost 1000 years old, do you?

Yes, I'm well aware that mythical superbeings are capable of anything within the confines of the myths they inhabit, and related fiction.

God can do ALMOST anything. The one thing he can't do is LIE.

Didn't sarah have to have menopause at some time in her life?



If God gave every other woman menopause, what makes sarah so special?

Yes.

I was near death at one point in my life...perhaps days or even hours. And He sustained me through it.



Matthew 17:20 says, Jesus is speaking - "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."



Now what is faith? "Faith is the essence of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen."

" Come to Me, all yu who are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. Learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart."

We've invented the concept of "God" and given it the attributes of being perfect and omnipotent We don't know if such a being exists. However, it has been shown logically that such a being would actually have self-contradicting attributes.
