Discuss Yechielshlipshon's answer to: The power of faith......

They say faith can move mountains. If so, How many have been moved thus far. As a trial - using our collective powers of faith, our congregation tried to move a small mound of sand we piled up ...

Dear Anonymous;

You mistaked a metaphore for a concreat idea.

I was supposed to die when I was 5, from polio. That was 63 years ago. The doctors called me the mericle patient, and for good reason.

My parents faith, and acting on it, by visiting me and keeping my spirits up, created the "mericle". All the more so, when several children arond me died.

If your congregation did try that experiment, and still do not understand the difference between metaphore and actuality, I feel sorry for them.

Shalom;

Yechiel
