Just if he would turn the Nile River into blood, or walk on water, or rain food down on some hungry folks, or if some holy guy would ride a chariot into heaven, or if he would just stop the sun like Joshua did.
He can do that stuff, but why won't he? He did really wild miracles to free the Hebrew slaves, like releasing twenty billion frogs into the city; and he wouldn't even do those kind of miracles to free the American slaves two hundred years ago.
All I'm saying is, I'd like to see a couple of really stupendous miracles.
(And don't come on here telling me about piddly miracles. If you got nothing to say, don't say it.)

Let's be fair and give the Christians a good chance of succeeding. God delegated the power to perform* (*stage?) miracles... Christians ought to do something good in our society... Not just build Mega Churches and screw the IRS!!!
James 5:15-16 (NIV) Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops
We need rain, don't we? At least where I live we need rain... The Bible says that the Christian can pray for rain and we all get it good and evil people get the same rain says the Bible unless of course the Christian is a phony...

This may be everyone's dream, to see a miracle. But the ball is in our court, so to speak. Are we willing to do the work required so that we can overcome the world and do what Jesus did? Many are not willing to part with mortal errors that serve to chain man down. The divine intervention plan has been given to us. No person, I would think, would want Jesus up on the cross again just so we can be sure. So, if we don't get it by now, then we will just have to go through the first physical death and continue from there.

Things happen quite often that would have been considered miracles back then. However, now we have scientific explanations for these occurances so people do not understand them to be miracles. Then,... people didn't have the knowledge that we have at this time and considered things that could not be explained to be an act of god. A miracle.

Oh dear, you've been on this site how long, and no one gave you a link to Fatima? The Miracle of the Sun. Google it and see the results. "Mass Hysteria" is what one other person said, but so would the people back in the day you speak of. Even when the Nile was turned to blood, Pharaoh still did not release the people.

There are still miracles every day. But God doesn't like to use miracles all the time because people come to expect it. Many times in the Bible even, people will not listen unless there is a miracle. God wants us to go to him in faith first, he doesn't want us to rely on our sight.

I have seen and participated in big miracles.
However I have the feeling your gonna doubt them anyways. But God soon will do big miracles again.
Very soon there will be the rapture.
The rapture is gonna surprise everyone, because even though many have heard of it, God is gonna only take half of all the christians.
Then there are gonna be 2 wars with Israel. They will initiate one, but be attacked in the other. In both wars, Israel is going to win super naturally.
The reason BIG miracles don't happen on a large scale is because we are in the age of grace. But the age of grace is almost done.
On a sad note, if you see the rapture and these 2 wars, you will have to suffer thru the tribulation. But you still can repent and be saved. before and after!

He still does. I heard of a woman who got a warning from her friends that she needs to leave her location because there was going to be a truck load of men to do harm on her. She did not know where to go since she was already basically in the middle of nowhere. She prayed and prayed like never before. The truck drove over the cliff and all of those men died on board. God is great!

God's hands are tied because someone wrote that there will not be any additions to the bible...ever. If God performs another miracle, then someone would have to write about it, but no more books can be added. So like the threat in Dogma, the universe would unravel, and everything would cease to exist.

Because the things that were considered miracles then can now be explained by scientists, geologists, astrologists, etc. A fiery chariot riding through the sky is now described as a falling star, or meteor. The heavens raining fire and brimstone were volcanic explosions. People then did not understand natural phenomena, and therefore ascribed it to an unseen, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent entity, which they feared.

the times there were the most consentration of miracles were when God wanted to validate something
1) Moses giving the covenant of the law
2) Jesus bringing the New Covenant
3) ELijah and ELisha challenging the unbelief of the times
There are miracles but God gives them on His terms not yours or mine. And one can read many of them such as in the lives of George Mueller and Helen Rosevere to name a few of many... perhaps you are looking in the wrong places
