You can pray that you get into a college before you open the letter. But you cant pray that the letter changes and you are accepted once opened and read. Same as people who are injured. You can pray that they recover. But you cant pray that a limb grows back after an accident. You can only pray for things that can not prove the existence of God. Think about it. You know not to pray for things that would prove his existence. Isn't this a little hypocritical. How can he only heal the ones that cant be proven. Why heal only the sick that can be healed and attributed to other means. Whats so horrible about healing someone when there leg gets blown off?

That's the point. They are delusions.

I have been in several "acidents" where I could well have been killed or seriously injured. And have come out with little more than a scratch and a few bruises... when others were killed or seriously injured... I concider each time to be a miracle.... these occured over my life when I was very much not a God believer... I believe that God kept me safe because he had a purpose for me later...and I have had such a close calls in the last six and a half years I have been of The True Christian Faith........as for the rest of your "statement".... God makes the rules... mankind dose not... God can do what God wants to do, when he wants, and how He wants, and to whom He wants....And....BTW... by the very definition of the word miracle.... none can be "proven".... even mine which many are in police or military logs.

What are you talking about? Very visible miracles happen every day. I just heard of a missionary ministry in Africa that has raised 80 people from the dead this year alone. I have seen visible healings take place. A lady I know has been in horrible pain in her back for 5 yrs, then after a prayer for healing got up and danced for 2 hours with no pain. I've been the one praying when a missing piece of bone was restored to my friend's backbone. How can you say that nothing is proven?? Have you ever personally experienced a miracle?? Don't be so quick to judge that which you know nothing about.

It is only a select group of Christians that believe in miracles. The Bible does not teach miracles for this day, and in fact says that it is evil people who look for signs, and no signs will be given. The result is that people who believe in miracles today have to deceive you into believing they are true. Just watch Benny Hinn. Pick any program you want and see if you can see a real miracle on there. It is always the same people say they were sick and now they say they are healed but you never see it happen. When Christ did a miracle it was indisputable.

If there was a god who actually performed verifiable miracles instead of vague events that can easily be construed to be natural occurences, this would destroy the arguments about the existance of gods, and all the disbelievers would disappear. Clearly no god would want THAT to happen...

Watch Israel if you want to see miracles. Amos 9:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
You are limiting God. If you have great, great, great faith and living a truly righteous lifestyle of walking with Jesus full of the Holy Spirit, I honestly believe all things are possible for that person. I know of no one living that lifestyle.

Miracles are just that.
Unexplainable happenings.
When a 3 year old girl falls four stories, and can walk away, that's a miracle.
When a tornado can destroy the entire school, but not touch the room you're in, that's a miracle.
When my cancerous ovarian cyst dissapeared, that's a miracle.
Even if you don't believe in God, or a higher power, a miracle is a miracle.
The unexplained good.

According to Christian belief, 2000+ years ago their God was a friggin’ miracle-making machine. But the bum has not gotten off his butt for 2000 years – not even to feed one starving child, or end one war, or to right even a single wrong.
What’s the deal? Is he lazy, sick, busy, dead?

When something good happens it is labelled a "miracle" because it can't be proved. Whole point of the world.

The birth of a child is a miraculous event.
