Why don't miracles happen today?

Question

Is it because it is now scientifically easy to investigate so-called miracles and show that they are frauds/hoaxes like virgin conceptions, walking on water, raising the dead, etc?

Answer 1

they DO. Koca-Cola turned tab water into the srping water for millions. Its way better miracle than Jesus turned water into wine for few hundreds.
Christains just don't realise those miracles coz they blind.
Therefore Koca-Kola is GOD product.

Answer 2

Michael X, the American soldiers in Iraq carry newspaper clippings from the Army newspaper, of miracles that happened to their fellow comrades. They carry them folded and put in their helmets They carry them in faith and hope, they carry them to remind them that God is help in time of trouble. Miracles happen.
There are plenty of scientists who are Christian. They cant debunk a miracle. Virgin conceptions, for instance-semen has entered the vagina from the areas of the labia. The virgin conception of Jesus in Mary was by the Holy Spirit. Joseph had not 'known' Mary. Thats just one.
Walking on water-I don't know how that was debunked. Perhaps the salt in the water allowing for bouyancy? Then...what happened to the water when Peter began to doubt?
How did they debunk raising the dead? I worked in a hospital for many years and have never heard of someone in the morgue waking up and jetting out.
And heck, science is all over the place in the hospital. If they can prove the circumstances that were part of the miracle then by golly, I want my Dad back! No, he'd probably hug me and then give me a lecture about making him leave Heaven. But, I'm sure there are others who would like the scientists to make a way for their loved one. And....these scientists...are...where...?
Trust God. Miracles happen. I saw the otherwise unexplainable in the hospital more than once. But, like I said, you might get some proof from an American soldier in Iraq.

As others have stated, I have also had a miracle in mind that happened to me-long story short-a realistically and totally unavoidable car accident went in slo mo and when real time returned-no accident. A few other, medically unexplainable, that happened to me. These all stunned me and filled me with joy and thankfulness. And me a speck, that God looked upon me, filled me with awe.

Answer 3

They do happen still. Personally, I don't qualify a potato chip in the shape of Jesus or a tree stump with a crying image of Mary a miracle.

My Infectious Disease Dr. knows about miracles. I was deathly ill from endocarditis just 6 months ago, and finally diagnosed with it in April. To make a long story short, Mr. Dr. was always amazed at how I could be so clinically ill but not appear sick with the symptoms of the disease. I got a ton of prayer, and we even told the Dr. that it was God who was going to heal me.

The miracle - yesterday this same Dr. proclamed me "healed" of the endocarditis and septecemia, and he had tears in his eyes when he told me that there must have been a lot of people praying for me, and that he was so encouraged and happy with my healing. Then he - Mr. Dr., gave me a hug! Weird, but I cried, an I thank God that He healed me, and that the Doctor's life was also touched by seeing the power of God's healing.

That's a miracle. Oh yeah, and no damage to heart after having a 10mm vegetation on my mitral valve and aortic stenosis!

Answer 4

It all depends how you define a "miracles". Some people define this as winning the lottery, dating the prettiest girl or the best looking guy.

Some people define it in a more spiritual sense. Faith in a Deity for example.

Some people look at this as simply waking up in the Morning and being so happy for that the weather does not mean a thing.

How about just accepting the good in your life and viewing the set backs and hills as challenges that may in fact become a miracle when you overcome them.

Answer 5

Oh but they do happen! I have a friend that has been sick. He had AIDS. He repented, he made peace with God, etc. He recently went to another examination, and during this examination, the docators were amazed to see that the boy is healed. He has no trace of AIDS. Now what is that? I think it's a miracle. And there are many other examples.

Answer 6

listen , miracles still happen now , but we consider them the norm , cause like back in jesus's time , he healed the sick , raised the dead . we today can heal people through doctors and if you pray long enough and hard enough for someone who's dying to live , god may grant that. there are more suttle miracles that happen daily ,only sometimes we don't recognize them . and sometimes they happen and we just know it was gods work , the more obvious miracles

Answer 7

Why Not:-
Isn't it miracle for Mr President, from America straight to Afghanistan, bombarded never before in the history, Has not been the miracle, what else; see Iraq...how people are being killing each other, and Mr president insist, for DEMOCRACY...outwardly seen as Mr president alone, but his allies i mean (the Arabs) who gave him full permission for airspace, sea and land..(combing the land at his order) isn't it the miracle...Before Kuwait Invasion NONE American soldier existed in Arabia, but due to Mr Blair, thinking and calculating 'Silk road" pumped Mr president senior to Gulf countries,
IS NT IT MIRACLE?

Answer 8

They do. I had one happen to me. The story is kinda long, but it is real. Even the doctors who were athiest could not explain it and said it was a miracle. [e-mail] if you really want the story, but it is in the form of a 10 page paper I had to write for school....

Answer 9

Miracles still happen everyday. People just want everything scientifically explained, they just don't believe that unexplainable things can happen.

Edit: Old Dude - if you sincerely pray and believe, God will give a blind person sight.

Answer 10

they do my man, ive personally witnessed incredible things accomplished by prayer and faith..God hears the prayer of a sincere heart and a righteous person. The miracles happen everyday right in front of the worlds eyes and they dont even realize it...and its unecessary to advertize or publish them to the world to be "proved". also remember what the Lord said "thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God"....God neither wants nor needs to be tested or proved to the world by "miracles"...He did many right in front of thousands of people while He was in the earth and they still didnt believe in Him. Also, He said "an evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign and there will none be given to it"

Answer 11

Today in the age of grace, God is not doing signs and miracles so we can believe. Sign were only used to convince Israel that Jesus was the Christ. Today we walk by faith and not sight. 2 Corinthians 5: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) Today salvation is by what the Lord Jesus Christ did on the cross for our sins. He died for our sins. He did it all. Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Ephesians 2: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
