Miracles occur on very rare occasions (according to certain people). They only help certain people and not others. God is apparently all loving, all knowing and all powerful. If God creates miracles he is showing greater love for some people over others, and therefore treats people differently. Surely a God should treat people all the same way if he is all loving, all knowing and all powerful. Many say that Miracles help the argument for God, however I see only that they work against the God of Classical Theism and lead us towards a God which discriminates against some and therefore is not worthy of worship.

The bible seems to indicate God requires faith. It isn't a matter of loving a person more or less. There is a verse where it said Jesus went to a certain town and could there do no mighty works save heal a few sick folk because of their unbelief. The bible also says without faith it is impossible to please God for he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.

Jesus had the biggest healing ministry ever, so since Christians believe he was Son of God, we would not think they are against God.
Isaiah 61: "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives"
He also said believers would also do miracles in His name. Also the believers were anointed with the Holy Spirit and power. In the early church there were many miracles. Down history in Orthodox ,Catholic, Protestant and Pentecostal denominations there have been miracles, patchy at times in frequency. Some people like Smith Wigglesworth have done very many.
However, a general principle is that faith is required. There maybe some cases like evangelistic situations where the faith is not required. Mental assent that Jesus can and does want to heal is not faith, you have to believe in your heart that He has healed you (through the atonement), then it substantiates in the physical realm.
A good example is Kenneth E Hagin, who passed away recently, aged 87, after a life of ministry. He had a life threatening heart condition, was expected to die before making 20, and was semi-paralysed and bedridden for several years. Even after being saved and receiving a communication by vision that he would not die he had to wait a year before he was able to have faith - Mark 11:23-24 became real to him. He literally stood up from his bed, felt dizzy for a while but strength came into his body after exercising faith. An awesome testimony.

in spite of if we don't have the solutions to each little thing does no longer mean the Bible isn't genuine. We do purely no longer comprehend why God would not seem to heal amputees. a minimum of, no longer in any documented case that i'm attentive to. yet I do individually comprehend of individuals who did have a diagnosis of maximum cancers, and while they went in for surgical treatment to do away with a tumor the tumor grew to become into long previous. that still would not coach the Bible to be genuine. i'm purely asserting that there are situations of healings and there are situations the place human beings at the instant are not healed. Neither one proves or disproves the life of God. besides the fact that your declare "amputees get no miracles from God" isn't unavoidably genuine -- that's certainly a logical fallacy. purely because of fact their limbs might desire to no longer strengthen decrease back does no longer mean they are not receiving different miracles from God. __________________ It actual isn't scriptural that amputees are being made to go through for others or for his or her very own sins. as a count of fact, Jesus taught in comparison way of hateful innovations-set.

Everyone is different, and when the niceness of their parents is enough for some to straighten up and fly right, its the brutal whip of a belt that does it for others, while for still some it is the voice of reason and authority.
Its plain as it as the nose on your face that treating everyone the same would not be effective.
No miracles are not against God, I would suggest you look into it before you try to speak against it, reading with honest eyes and not preconceiving before you try to understand it.

There is no God / gods, and no miracles. These fantasies where use in the past to explain things people didn't understand.There is no place for this dribble in the enlightened age of today

Actually, I think it depends on what your definition of 'miracle' is. There is some logic to the idea that life itself is a miracle, so is every breath we take and every beat of our heart. Some people experience the miracle of being cured from illness every day, others come back to life from being clinically dead, still others create their own 'miracles' of good fortune, health, wealth, romance, etc. without relying on a godfigure. "Miracle" are whatever you want them to be...

To quote Pope John Paul II, "God works in mysterious ways, b*tch."
If God really loved everyone equally then there wouldn't be a Hell now would there? So much for an "all-loving" god.
