where have all the miracles gone?

Question

why do we have no miracles today, like raising the dead,water to wine, etc, dont tell me something stupid,,like everyday we live its a miracle,, people like billy graham who i love never healed the sick etc, why oh why

Answer 1

Cause God doesn't like us any more.
Back in Old Testament days miracles that hundreds of people witnessed happened, so there was plenty of corroborating evidence. Now the only miracles are the ones that only one lunatic sees, and who's going to believe him?
The miracles that could be proven because so many people witnessed them, don't happen anymore because God has chosen to cease that kind of involvement. But it is not for us to question. I said cause God doesn't like us anymore, but the real answer is hidden from all mortals, unless I'm mistaken.

Answer 2

Billy Graham's call in life is and always will be evangelical or bringing people to christ. The miracles have not disappeared. At the moment GOD has not released"to the publics eye" miracles signs and wonders for true faith is not founded on the visible but the invisible.

Answer 3

Your question seems to indicate that you think that God had miracles occuring constantly within a short span of time in the Bible. In fact, if you average it out, within the span of time that the Bible covers, miracles generally occur very infrequently.

Miracles:

a) Only happened in front of a select number of people, and for a specific purpose. If that purpose is not needed, then it does not occur.

b) To say that Miracles can't happen because they are miraclulous is circular reasoning. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.

c) Miracles are stated, in the Bible, never to occur as "proof of God's existance", unless the wicked are being destroyed, by which time, it's too late. As a matter of fact, Herod asked for Jesus to perform some miracles, and Jesus refused.

d) Occur rarely. If you look at the timeline, they generally only occur in spurts every 500, 1000, or 2000 years within the timeframe within the Bible.. So we're about due for a doozy.

Answer 4

Various kinds of miracles are mentioned in the Bible. (Exodus 7:19-21; 1 Kings 17:1-7; 18:22-38; 2 Kings 5:1-14; Matthew 8:24-27; Luke 17:11-19; John 2:1-11; 9:1-7) Many of these miracles served to identify Jesus as the Messiah, and they proved that he had God’s backing. Jesus’ early followers displayed miraculous gifts, such as speaking in tongues and discernment of inspired utterances. (Acts 2:5-12; 1 Corinthians 12:28-31) Such miraculous gifts were useful for the Christian congregation during its infancy. How so?

Well, copies of the Scriptures were few. Usually, only the rich possessed scrolls or books of any sort. In pagan lands, there was no knowledge of the Bible or of its Author, Jehovah. Christian teaching had to be conveyed by word of mouth. The miraculous gifts were useful in showing that God was using the Christian congregation.

But Paul explained that these gifts would pass away once they were no longer needed. “Whether there are gifts of prophesying, they will be done away with; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will be done away with. For we have partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; but when that which is complete arrives, that which is partial will be done away with.”—1 Corinthians 13:8-10.

Today, people have access to Bibles, as well as concordances and encyclopedias. Over six million trained Christians are assisting others to gain divine knowledge based on the Bible. Thus, miracles are no longer necessary to attest to Jesus Christ as God’s appointed Deliverer or to provide proof that Jehovah is backing his servants.

Answer 5

Dude..there are healings all the time, EVERYWHERE!!! Why do you doubt the power of the Holy Spirit? You have the Kingdom of Heaven at hand, use it. Blind people being able to see, cripple people walking, these are all things that are close by. People in Mozambique and Brazil are healed all the time. Limbs grow back, ears are opened. Bill Johnson is really into it, he has a church in Redding California, there have been a lot of revivals there. In Toronto, there is a church called the Airport Church, they have healings all the time. People with terminal illnesses and cancer are healed constantly. Don't think it doesn't happen.

Answer 6

Miracles happen every day but people write it off as nonsense and fakes. Yes there are a lot of fakes out there but there are also a lot of true happenings. Back in Biblical days it was the same thing, hardly anyone believed what they saw or what people testified to then either.

Answer 7

there are many miracles today just now it has all kind of explanation ,science now trying to explain everything if it can't then they hide everything and denies all evidence ,just do research. but one miracle that happens every few seconds in the world is child birth ask any parents they will tel you child birth is a miracle, only parents can understand that miracle and feel it in there hearts.

Answer 8

I believe it is just a matter of time, I'm still waiting for mined. I know it might not ever happen, a damn good chance it won't, and I'm fine with that, thus it is considered a miracle, and because I also know miracles exist/can happen, I'm waiting but tactfully.

Answer 9

We do have miracles happening, today. Perhaps people are reluctant to report them for fear of ridicule, but I personally have seen them happen, and have known about many others who have either witnessed or experienced Miracles.

Our GOD is a GOD of impossible situations, but if we believe...

Answer 10

We still have the miracle of birth everyday!
