an interesting thought

Hi everyone :)
My wife had an interesting take on Acts 3 when we were reading it. It is where Peter heals a crippled beggar
Acts 3:8-10
8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
She said what struck her was that if this were to happen today, that is a crippled beggar getting up to walk, people would see it as that man was lying about his condition to get money. I think she is right thats what people would say if they saw a man crippled asking for money then later saw him walking. Even if he said it was a miracle we would say "yeah right"
I don't know I just thought it was an interesting observation and thought I would share

It is an interesting point, which makes me ask - Is there a genuine cripple in the world, who has been miraculously healed in an instant because of their faith in God? Would love to meet them.

Good one Eirik!!
Zander, I have always wondered why the ancient world was much more magical/miraculous than today.
Most world cultures believe their beginnings were all in misty myths of gods and demons.
some of egypt rubbed off on the Hebrews too.
