對我而言，"神跡" 表面的意思是神的足跡或是遺跡，而 "神蹟" 的意思是神所成就的事蹟，二者均是強調上帝的作為(God's Act)，但"奇蹟(miracle)" 是令人驚奇的事蹟，不一定是指神的作為。因此，我同意Craig的說法，只要是上帝的作為，不論大小都算是神跡或神蹟。

Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced. Psalm 105:5~
很有趣，慧琦提到: "奇蹟(miracle)是令人驚奇的事蹟，不一定是指神的作為。"
而我在想，驚奇的事蹟有可能出自人之手嗎？誰歷經了重大車禍卻毫髮無傷、誰在腳傷之際仍然奪下網球冠軍...
Hsiao-wen, 還記得幾年前有一位叫劉海若的女主播在英國出車禍，被英國皇家醫院宣布腦幹死亡，經轉北京宣武醫院搶救治療三個月康復，之後又重新作上主播台的案例嗎？還有之前邵曉伶車禍昏迷了18天後終於開口說話，車禍之後重獲新生。你認為這兩個案例是奇蹟，還是神跡(蹟)呢？！
慧琦
Oh Yeah!!
我終於可以來留言了
我是 Kelly
大家討論得很熱烈!!
嗯
我同意慧琦
"奇蹟(miracle)是令人驚奇的事蹟，不一定是指神的作為"
有時候我們認為的奇蹟可能不是神喔!! 可能是其他黑暗勢力
而神蹟對於我
我覺得我們每天平平安安活著就是一種神蹟呢!不一定要約伯或耶穌那種令人驚嘆的大事才是神蹟
有時後雖然神蹟奇事叫我們看見神的偉大
但也常常令人忘記神時時刻刻都在施慈愛給人
(因為人常常只盼望看見神蹟而忽略平凡的恩惠)
這是我的小小見解啦~~
劉海若的例子嘛...我想想。我覺得是奇蹟 (不是一般會話中大家為了誇示而說的"這真是奇蹟"啊的奇蹟，是真的令人驚訝的事件)，不過我認為奇蹟之所以為奇，是因為非人所能為，所以，就是高於我們的力量的作為。
高於我們的力量是什麼？有神，還有神的反方(？)
kelly 提到的黑暗勢力 (evil spirit?)，我其實一直無法想像那到底是什麼，是撒旦？神比較好理解，撒旦比較難理解耶...
我們的貓咪在溫哥華機場停機坪跑掉了. 一個禮拜後又被找到, 我想那是神蹟... 感謝主
