What If Miracles Don’t Occur Today?

Addressing the problem of miracles.

My pastor Rod Parsley was healed from vocal chord cancer two years ago. He was diagnosed in 2015. Since then, he goes back to his doctor for a check-up and the doctor notices that even the scar tissue is gone as if it were never there.

Sometimes we may witness miracles and not even realize it.

[gloryboundkev]

Everything is a miracle. People are just used to it.

I am living breathing proof that we serve a miraculous savior. I was born with Epilepsy, and at the age of 16 I decided to stop taking the medicine that was keeping me from having a seizure. My whole life my neurologists would tell me I had slim to no chance of ever being normal. No chance of ever being healed. And if I were to overcome it, it would need to be a very calculated, precise process, that would take years of effort, and it would need to be looked over and monitored by doctors nearly every week. The nature of my Epilepsy called for a lot of care.

For 6 months I didn’t tell anyone that I stopped taking the medicine, and I did a brain scan. Out of the blue, for no reason at all. By the grace of God. The doctors found no trace of epilepsy in my brain waves. And I have the scans to prove it.

This goes against all science, all logic, and everything that medicine says. Today I am 6 years free of any epilepsy whatsoever. Nothing anyone tells me will ever change my mind. Praise Jesus!!

Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years?

The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20).

Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform.

If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.

Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on YouTube. The video reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World. Watching this video will give hope to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely. Click on my name to watch the video (The video is in Russian, but English subtitles are included).

I believe there is also miracles that aren't exactly of defying the laws of physics or agreed upon as impossible

[MP-ycou]

My salvation was a miracle. God has spoken to me directly through His prophets/ servants and i consider that a miracle. (all you cessationists that are about to spew your poison, repent.). I know many amazing testimonies of God using His prophets, to me this is a miracle, even tho it may not necessarily be a miracle. Except for accounts of them healing people, obviously that's a miracle. so if any of you atheists are curious let me know what you wanna know.

[elliot]

I think every living and breathing thing on this planet is a true miracle. Every one of us are walking miracles, honestly. T
With craftsmanship and beauty He made us in His image.

"Jesus didn't promise he would heal anyone, " but He DID promise healing and this is what he said and how he did it:

Mathew 10:6 — 10:8
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, (you) preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 (you) Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
"You" is the implied! The afore mentioned are all miracles by the way!


Mathew 21:20 — 21:21

The Lesson of the Withered Fig Tree
(Mark 11:20–24)
And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?”
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea, ’ it will be done.

The saying of miraculous things followed by them happening are also miracles by the way!
All of them by the way are miracles that are NEEDED and ministry oriented as opposed to frivolous miracles. They are miracles that Jesus performed while he ministered and instructed his disciples to do the same, which they did.
Arguing the truth of the gospel has its place, but you notice that Jesus and his disciples performed the gospel instead of arguing it's merits. They performed miracles and the miracles were the argument!

If Jesus rose from the dead, then it still would not make Christianity true. The only thing it would prove is that it is possible for someone to rise from the dead under certain circumstances. You would still have to prove that God exists, Jesus was his offspring, that God made all the commandments, etc.

[patrickcolvin]

What if we don't understand the existence of god?

[thetruerottweilers]

Miracles occur nowadays. Period. I WAS TAKEN TO JESUS CHRIST'S CRUCIFIXION.

[ADMusic]

"If Jesus rose from the dead then Christianity is true." Um, no. That's definitely evidence for Christianity but it doesn't prove an afterlife, it doesn't prove that Jesus can save you, it doesn't even prove that God exists. If you said that God raised Jesus from the dead and brought him to heaven, that would prove Christianity. However, that wouldn't be something you could prove just by a resurrection.

Also, a little problem with miracles: a Muslim family prays and asks Allah to save their dying loved-one and within a few days, that person is healthy again. Meanwhile, a Buddhist priest is able to perform exorcists by shaking a wooden staff that creates noise which scares away demons. Somewhere in an undeveloped civilization, people perform a dance or do some type of sacrifice so that the gods will allow it to rain and within a few days, it rains. All of these cases can qualify as miracles can they not? We tend to only look at the times when our prayers work but not the times when they don't. We don't look at the times when we pray for healing and we get death. When we pray for peace and we get war. When we pray for food and we get starvation. We just look at the times when we ask for something and we get it so that we can sing about how "our God is an awesome God." That's not proof - it's called confirmation biasedness and it's a logical fallacy.

[MyJackel]

If jesus rose from the dead isnt that a miracle in itself? But good vid btw

[Testequip]

There are more miracles in science and engineering than superstitious beliefs.

[sukruoosten]

since neither YHWH en YAHSHUA are here there will is not being done 100% so people will suffer since we dont get guarantees in this temporary life
