Why are some jewish nomads from thousands of years ago allotted more evidence than I am?
How is that fair that some people get to see this guy walk on water, heal the sick; etc and yet God fails to demonstrate these miracles in 2007?

Don't know what you have seen but there are miracles happening everyday. Baby being born, Someone being told their cancer has gone into remission, etc.
Would you really believe it if a guy walked on water. 2000 years after Jesus did there are still lots of people that question it. Even those who saw the miracles that Jesus performed denounced him.
Also when those miracles were performed there was no technology for that time that could reproduce it. Now we can. So it is no wounder we have a miracle staring us in the face and we still do not believe.
It is through Faith and belief in God you will find your miracle.

How do you know that even if you had seen the miracles, that you wouldn't have discounted them or, worse, attributed them to the devil? Even those who saw the miracles weren't necessarily willing to consider them as evidence. Even Thomas, who witnessed most of the miracles, needed to put his hands in the nail holes before he would believe that Jesus was resurrected.
Plus, people living at the time could ask why they weren't given evidence that we know have in the form of the NT. By studying the bible and other historical documents, we know how events turned out, whereas those living in the midst of the events had to rely almost entirely on faith that Jesus was who he said he was and was going to do what he said he was going to do.

A miracle is not evidence. Your eyes and ears can be decieved. Just seeing something miraculous happen will not being true conversion. Trust me, I know.
There are many many miracles that occur still. Trust me on that too, I know. I've seen many people not be converted even after seeing astounding miracles and other "signs"...

There are still miracles done in Jesus name. The media doesn't support Christians , so don't expect to hear about them on the news. people have had limbs grown out, blind eyes opened and even the dead raised, mostly in other countries, but with plenty of eye witnesses.

He still does miracles but we have become so blind and numb, that we don't know it. I've had a lot of miracles happen to me in my life and in the lives of many I know and love.

Is anyone really receptive today to even recognize God's work? Does God need to periodically come up with a new act to keep our attention? God has done enough. It's mans turn.

how do you know that god isn't performing miracles? how do you know we aren't praying to the wrong god? the bible itself says there will be false gods presented to us, how do we know that the bible isn't about a false god? maybe that's why there is no miracles , we are praying to a false god. lots of people testify with great conviction but it doesn't mean they know what they are talking about.

The Lord does miracles every day, you just have to have faith. Everything that happens in my life is His miracle. You could be blessed with His miracles, just accept Him in your heart, repent and you will see what He can do for you. I promise!
