If God exists, how come we don't see extraordinary miracles anymore?

Question

The splitting of seas, water into wine, world wide floods which include a boat with an impossible amount of animals on them, etc. Miracles of this calibre are throughout the bible.

For those of you that think we have experienced extraordinary miracles in our time, what exactly are they?

Answer 1

Funny how they dried up right about the time science got to where it could investigate them.

Answer 2

I do not know of such large miracles in the last 3,000 years.

But there are many miracles happening today.
Many people receive the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
Many people get healed.
Many people get some other gift.

Do a web search with the key words "miracles Jesus" to see some of them.
Also check out publications from Guide Posts.

The Bible promises that there will soon be many large world shaking miracles.
In the Great Tribulation there will be many things, like-
1/3 the trees burn up
1/3 the oceans turn to blood
1/3 the people die
2 prophets telling the world what will happen next
great earth quakes
great meteors falling to earth
and many more things ending with the return of Jesus.

Answer 3

People forget that the Bible spans a 4000 year period. The Bible does not describe 'splitting seas' or 'world wide floods' - those were produced by Hollywood. (A strong wind dried up a shallow marsh in the first example, and the Tigris/Euphrates swelled over the banks in the second).
Look at the actual miracles in the Bible. From creation to the first miracle in the Bible is about 2500 years. After that, the next miracle occurs about 1000 years later, and the next is about 500 years after that.
Ripley counts a higher average than that over the last century.

Answer 4

That became fairly the commencing up of human beings certainly believing in God. The pink Sea parted in Exodus, this is barely the 2nd e book of the Bible (there are sixty six). God had to declare Himself and tutor His capability via fact a million) those human beings have been in all probability in simple terms presented to faith as a mass, 2) the Israelites have been well-known for their complaining and non secular disruptiveness (i.e. they persisted to criticize God) and 3) if God had allowed the Egyptians to wreck His chosen human beings, issues won't be the comparable with Christianity as they're right this moment. yet you will desire to comprehend that miracles take place on a daily basis. they do no longer would desire to be the whole Pacific Ocean being lifted into area or the Eiffel Tower by surprise walking. those miracles are greater particular. maximum cancers patiends surviving, single mothers with the flexibility to advance 5 babies into nicely behaved and clever men and females, the incontrovertible fact that our usa is in a position to stand at the same time in cases of conflict. those are the miracles right this moment.

Answer 5

Do you consider people being dead for three days, coming back to life? How about lost limbs growing back, blind people seeing, deaf hearing, broken legs being instantly set without being touched? Things like this happen every day all over the world, but you will never hear about them on the biased, network news shows.
How about the man from Australia that was on Good Morning America this week, who's parachutes (both of them) failed, he free fell over 2000 feet, twisting and turning all the way because he could not release his failed, twisted parachutes. When he landed in the thorn bushes, nobody expected him to even be alive, but he walked away with only a few scratches, bumps and bruises. If you do not call that a miracle, then you have no clue what one is.

Answer 6

Dear Billy
when God used to make miracles "on the hands of his prophets" ppl used to see a lot of magician work, so it would be hard for someone to identify if this is a miracle or a magician trick...
nowadays, magician trick are not that much public, so any miracle would make ppl sure about God and about the religion that made this miracle..
add to the above that God want to test ppl before he accepts them, they must have very hard tests in order to deserve Heaven... no one can get 1000000 dollars without hardworking, same thing apply to heaven, u cant enter it without hardworking, so that God stopped making obvious miracels anymore ;-)

Answer 7

Nuclear weapons have been around for over 60 years and we are still here. That is a miracle. Chemical weapons for longer than that. Surely someone is watching over mankind.

If Japan or Germany had been first with a nuclear weapon what would have happened? That we were is a miracle.

Answer 8

Go to www.williambranham.com & the reason you don't see a world wide flood that was in Noah day, is because God pomised not to destroy the earth again by water, God did not say that some parts of the earth will not be flooded. Go to the site I gave you & you can see that in this generation God did do Mighty Miracles.

Answer 9

Such miracles were suitable only to primitive minds.
Mature mankind today are performing greater miracles in reading the Will of God through light and in expressing His divine lesson of selfless love through wordless Books.

Answer 10

That things that you call miracles happens according to purposes, time, place and circumstances and, people's purity and the quality of their faith. Besides, now the whole human society is very demoniac, abortions, drugs, rapes, pornography, people addicted to sex, etc. So God is no too much into in proving His existence.
