Seems like there's been a lot of people throughout history who had plenty of faith, and yet at no point in geological history is there evidence that a mountain was ever moved (other than its usual upward motion).
Surely there's been at least one time when a faithful person wanted to move a mountain...

Oh honey, don't you know the meaning of a metaphor?
God has moved many mountains in my life.

You are talking about Faith. A vast majority of people pray in a kneeling or bowed position bringing them closer to the ground. You have already stated that the "natural" growth of a mountain is upward. Okay, draw a line THROUGH the Earth directly on the opposite side of the planet and I'll bet you will find a very faithful person moving that mountain from that direction.

mountains move all the time. some mountain ranges are growing higher, others are sort of getting shorter. there are probably many god people behind it and other forces that influence the earth's geography that have bestowed their powers on others throughout time when they had to leave human form.
why doesn't someone just pick up a mountain and put it somewhere else? because that's impossible. even for the most powerful god. he can not destroy his own matter and energy. he can not completely disrupt the forces he has put into motion. to do so would negate the universe he has created. he would have to start all over again.

Your referring to "with faith the size of a mustard seed, God can move mountains" He moves mountains everyday. Have you ever had an issue standing in your way that seemed as large as a mountain? A hurt in your hart that feels deeper than the grand canyon. God can solve any problem no matter how big or heal any hurt no matter how deep if we just have faith. Although, if you have doubt in the lord's power than you'll probably never reach the top of any mountain and get to experience the breath taking view of all that he created. P.S. God created the mountains and put them where they belong why would he litteraly move one just to prove to you who doubts him anyways. Would this really prove anything to you or would you explain it away as just another natural occurance. Do you know what a geographical distaster it would be if a mountain did really move?

No one has real faith. I see people go to their disgusting churches for 8 hours and then leave services and take up a life of fornication and dishonesty. I know of no one who has any real faith. Even the Muslims who knocked down our towers visited a strip club in Florida while they were in our country. So not even the people willing to kill themselves for their faith had faith. I believe we will see a mountain move when someone with real faith emerges and since that will never happen the mountain will never move.

I think its pretty hard to have that much faith. I mean it would take a HUGE amount for sure. People of faith normally have more faith about one thing than they do about something else. I dont think its a good thing but its indeed difficult. People can drum up enough faith to believe that God will heal them or bless them financially, and it often works. But to look at a mountain and believe God will let you move it, or believe God will allow you to fly, or walk on water... we cant seem to drum up enough faith for that. I believe its a human flaw, not a flaw of Gods.

And at sometime: who says they have not?
There are other types of ‘Mountains’ in peoples lives than the physical objects such as Everest & K2 etc… and believe me: I have seen and heard of many of these mountains: not only being ‘Moved’… But ‘Removed’!!!
Faith… Hope… & Prayer… can move more than mountains!!!

Strip mining operations all over the world move entire mountains all the time. As far as that religious stuff, that's just a work of fiction for those needing a crutch to lean on.

"This mountain" alongside with the fig tree may be a element of the myth of the fig tree. yet, no count. Israel’s rejection of the dominion and its remarkable reward grow to be consequential. cp Luke 19:40 two Legend: ? and ~ no longer ? or ? if... then ? as a result Matthew 12:28 “yet once I forged out devils by utilising the Spirit of God (P), THEN the dominion of God is come unto you. (Q)” Matthew 21:40 3- “as a result say I unto you, the dominion of God would be taken from you (~Q)…” as a result, no longer Christ is casting out devils by utilising the Spirit of God (~P) P ? Q ~Q ? ~P Matthew 21:-40 3 “…and given to a rustic bringing forth the end result thereof.” yet (X). ? Rev 12:10. as a result, the disciples have been no longer advised to evangelise, cleanse the lepers, enhance the lifeless, forged out devils, yet to “wait”, “tarry ye interior the city of Jerusalem, until eventually ye be endued with capacity from on extreme.” Luk 24:40 9. Act a million:4. The testimony of them that heard him (Heb 2:3-4) is over (1Cor. 13:8-13), and the witness you seek for heavily isn't seen until eventually Rev 12:10.
