so, so many bring up the daily breathing and waking up healthy. Well if that is the case, then those people on respirators or those not healthy God has given up on? Why is God not performing his miracles on those who are very sick? I know that so many will respond with "it is all part of God's plan", which makes God (who watches and watches his children suffer and does nothing) a sadistic God who obviously enjoys watching people suffer, because if he did not enjoy it then he would stop the suffering. Why is that?

Wayne T, in fact if Cadillacs were good cars, then everyone having one does make logical sense. Your God sitting there watching the suffering makes him....what?!?!?......a sympathetic god?? If someone watches other gets tortured and has the power to stop it, but does nothing, that person is labelled sick and sadistic. You have a God that does that and you say it is normal. That is illogical and extremely sick.

You sound kind of bitter towards God and yes it sometimes looks like God isn't doing any miracles other than blowing breezes and making cloud shaped hearts but the truth is that their are countless numbers of Christians and even doctors that have witnessed real miracles that are un explainable to our understanding. I for one have encountered a few. The most obvious was one that happened to my son when he was about two years old. He ran and fell on a floor heater and received burns from his ankle all the way up his leg to his hip. The doctor informed us that he would probably be scarred for life, as they were very deep burns. With in six weeks, the burns had completely healed. The doctor was amazed.
This is just one incident of a miracle, but there are numerous others. I have witnessed healing and miracles continuously over the years. I don't know why God chooses to heal some and not others but I do know there is a purpose for it it.

Okay, first of all.. you shoud calm down with all that drama. To tell the TRUTH Christians don't have all the answers and those who think they do, deserve a looser award. I'm sick and tired of you people asking any question that you could come up just to spite believers or just to put them on the spot. I'm sick and tired of you crazy religious-bound believers thinking you know all the answers, tell the truth....... you don't know everything. For Mr. or Mrs. Corona.......... look here>>>>>> not all illnesses are the same so did you ever think of asking doctors? God doesn't move according to 'need' only b/c in that case, everyone would be healthy 100% no matter what they (we) ate or how we treated our bodies. Things just happen b/c they do... it's part of life. Life and death will occur no matter what we say or do or what we believe. If you're so concerned about the sick, why don't you do something to help them instead of complaining or 'blaming God' for everything that occurs in this world. Give God a break, my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Well, for some reason, and I don't know why, but many Christians today do not believe in healing miracles. I believe that if more churches would begin using the gifts that the Holy Spirit has given them that tons of people would be getting healed of all sorts of deseases. In fact, about 13 years ago, my eyes started going bad and the doctor said that I would need glasses. I went to church that believed in healing, and instantly I was completely healed, and up until today I can still see perfectly without glasses.
If you believe, anything is possible for him who believes.
Mark 16:17-18 - These signs will follow those who believe...they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

I don't believe you see many miracles in this day because most people don't believe in them. In many Christian circles, some believe that miracles have ceased. (I do not believe this)
Christ stated that when one asks for something, ask believing that it will happen (absolute faith). If one didn't believe in miracles, why would you expect to experience one?
As for God enjoying watching people suffer, I don't believe this to be the case. This is a world filled with greed, hate, fear, illness and corruption. I think we cause most of what we experience. Believers and non-believers alike suffer from many things. After the fall of mankind, death and evil came into the world. This is exactly what God told Adam and Eve would happen.
He also said that some day, things would be as they were, perfect without death, fear, pain or hate. This is what I believe and look for.

Miracles happen every day. God uses people to perform his miracles. People die---that is a fact that we can never get away from in this world because this world is under a sentence of death due to sin. That is the way it is. God does not intend that humans remain immortal in a sinful world. Could you imagine someone like Adolph Hitler living for five hundred years or more? Life on this planet is limited so that sin can be limited. You are giving God the same emotions as humans, meaning that you are reducing him to our level. this is incorrect. His ways and wisdom is so far beyond ours that we will never be able to understand him. We are not here to understand God, but to obey him.

God does not do ****. For one, there isn't a God. And two, if there was, we'd see some worthwhile evidence. Not this crap that Christians keep flinging around about miracles and whatnot.....
If God was able to do something, he would have stopped 9/11 from happening. If he really does perform miracles like keeping a premature baby alive, why couldn't he have done anything about 9/11?
I'll tell you why. Because if there is a God, then he gave us free will. He gave everyone free will....even the terrorists on those planes. God does NOT have a PLAN. If he did, then that must mean he knows whats going to happen....and if thats true, then that must mean that we all have an unescapable fate, and if thats true, then we have no free will to change our fate.
There is no God.

What is the next miracle that God has promised? If ever I'm asked about miracles, that's my answer. Why? Because the answer shows the real reason for asking, and people who ask are usually unsettled by the answer. God's next miracle will be to send his son back to earth as the head of a great army of angels. They will cleanse the earth and throw Satan into a great pit where he will stay for a thousand years, anyone who followed him will be destroyed. Makes you want to make sure you are on the right side of that battle doesn't it? Who was it said 'Be careful what you wish for...'?

New Testament miracles were to prove that what was being preached was from God. Paul predicted they would end, and it is evident that they have ended because we see no dead raised, no sick people cured without medical attention and drugs and surgeries, and doctors. Not one modern day claim of miracles have ever been proved to be a miracle, but have been proved to be false or exaggerations or plain trickery.
Miracle believers will say those of us who deny modern day miracles are hell bound, but they must prove they do exist, because they are the ones who make wild claims. We are under no obligation to prove they do not exist or have ceased because evidence speaks for itself.

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
You have no right to judge any situation. Your judements are simply temporary judgements for you do not see every thing effected by each situation. God sees every single particle effected by a single circumstance, thus he is the only righeous judge of what is suffering and what is living out a purpose.
Newsflash, we are living this way due to something called "the fall of man"...if you look around, man has become angry and rebellious against God...man is born an enemy of God...do you think God wants to help an angry generation and help those people who shake their fists at God? God works in peoples lives and he hasn't completely removed goodness from the world either thanks to His graces. He has also given hope of a life w/out suffering. However, he is no imposer on peoples lives. He waits patiently for sincerity and a humble heart to ask for intervention, and the moment that happens you can guarantee He is right there.

An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign. Yes God still does miracles, but He doesn't do them for the sake of entertaining people, and that includes much of the charade that passes for christian television. If you don't believe Moses and the prophets, you wont believe even if one should rise from the dead.
