Do you believe in stigmata? And why?

I have a hard time believing in this phenomena, I don't really know if I believe in Jesus Christ so I'm not too sure about it. But I would like to hear the insight of others.

You should look it up on the internet. There are cases where people have STATED that they experienced it.

I don't know whether to believe it or not either, but I wouldn't cancel it out.

I would say if you don't believe in jesus, then you couldn't believe this. After all, it is his last days of life reocurring to someone else.

This is the issue, if you don't believe in Jesus, then you would have no reason to believe it to be true.

As one who believes in Jesus, the virgin birth, the raising from the dead and the miricles of the bible, this would be a minor thing for God to do compared to what he has already done.

It's not as if I don't believe whatsoever. I am just unsure. I guess I have seen the ziegeist movie one too many times.

It has been suggested that there are possible medical explanations for stigmata. Whether you do believe in God or partake in the beliefs of an organized religion, I do think our minds (and souls and bodies and spirits) are much more powerful than we normally accept them to be.
