Bible Question: PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN, I NEED TO KNOW, IF PETER RESURRECTED ANYONE. MY SUPERVISOR INSISTS THAT HE DID. PLEASE HELP ME BE ENLIGHTENED AND ENLIGHTEN MY SUPERVISOR. |
Bible Answer: There is the incident found in Acts 9:36-42 Where a woman named Dorcas was brought back to life after Peter prayed. Nevertheless it cannot correctly be said that Peter raised her back to life. Only God has to power to give life. Peter only prayed and obviously saw God's answer to prayer in raising this woman back to life. So no it wasn't Peter that resurrected her, it was God. It just so happened that Peter was present when God raised her back to life. |
