Stigmata

What is it, really? Believe it? If it's real, why are the marks on the hands and not through the wrists (to symbolize the wounds of Christ)?

My initial thought is always that whatever Christ or God has done, Satan will attempt to copy. Because of this, we need to look very carefully at all things and remembering that something that appears to supernatural will almost certainly be from God or Satan. The next question should be, "Is God glorified throught it?" The answer to that question should be a good indicator of the author. I think each instance of stigmata must be looked at individually.

i dont believe that it is real, i think that those that 'claim' it did it to get attention. to get people to think that they are soooooo holy that God had to injure them to get people notice them and, and consequently nearly worship them.

Do you think that is for all cases?

Why in the world would God cause such a phenomenon? For no good reason. So, if it's a bad reason, with God being all good, God would be by it proving His own nonexistence.

I don't know, makes sense to me. *kateliz snickers behind hand while hiding in the shadows of her own logic.*
