Why doesn't god do miracles anymore?

Question

If he did church attendence would rise by a large amount

Answer 1

What do you mean by anymore?

There is no evidence of any miracle ever happening, ever, in the existence of human history, nothing, zero, zip.

Seriously, post proof of one 'miracle' and then you might get a more appropriate answer.

Answer 2

He does. People being healed, marriages restored, financial needs met, are just a few examples. Most people don’t even realize how many miracles God works in their life because they don’t fully comprehend that some of the things God does for them, are things only God could do for them! You can’t manufacture a miracle, you can’t force a miracle to happen, a miracle is something that God and only God can do in accordance with His sovereign
will.

As for Church attendance rising because of the miraculous, it would be only a short time thing. When God performed amazing and powerful miracles for the Israelites, did that cause them to obey Him? No, the Israelites constantly disobeyed and rebelled against God even though they saw all the miracles. The same people who saw God part the Red Sea later doubted whether God was able to conquer the inhabitants of the Promised Land. Jesus performed countless miracles, yet the vast majority of people did not believe in Him. If God performed miracles today like He did in the past, the same result would occur.

Answer 3

If you are talking about The Almighty, you want to correct your spelling to God. god refers to Satan the god of this world, little g who is responsible for all the havoc going on in the earth. Miracles were performed and I guess it could happen today, however; God sent us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ and throught His blood we (gentiles) have been redeemed. Think of a (20) twenty lane highway, many people are on it day in and day out just going and going and going but to what end? Only (1) ONE lane leads to eternity and that is through Jesus. If the churches were filled and everybody tithed 10% off there gross you would see an almost beautiful new world overnight. Can you go to the soil and hollar at the ground "give me some vegetables", sure you can, however; the ground will stare you in the face and say fool give me some seed and a little water and with the Sun's help I give you some vegetables. God is no ones bell hop, if you want something from Him it would be wise to humble yourself and some prostrating is good to.

Answer 4

The question is based on the assumption that some god somewhere actually did anything. And what if church attendance only went up for the religions that are not popular in the U.S. What if a Hindu god performed a miracle, would that get people in the seats? Not in this cuntry.

Answer 5

As others have stated, he still does. he no longer does in the same way, but it happens.
Heck - read the old testament. After being led out of Egypt (by way of the plagues), they were led through the desert by a cloud at day and a burning pillar of flame at night. Water flowed from a rock, mana came down for food and many other miracles. And STILL they grumbled and kept turning away from God. Miracles aren't necessarily going to provide faith. Some will still turn away.

just a few from the Catholic view:

Answer 6

God is not concerned with numbers. He is seeking for those who will worship Him in truth and in spirit. There are more than enough people attending churches. It was not until Pentecost that the disciples of Christ were able to perform miracles as they were filled with the Holy Spirit. So it will be in these last days. Not until the latter rain will the true disciples of Christ be able to work the works of God. Then the earth will be lightened with the glory of God. This time is at the door.

Answer 7

He did miracles,the prophets(some) did also.Jesus did too as did the apostles.That was to prove what they were preaching was true. Now ,as the apostolic age ended,around 90 A.D. so did the miracles because now,we have the written complete word of God to base our faith on.The anti-Christ will come doing miracles and fool many.It is better to stick to the Word of God,you won't be fooled,it's your measuring stick.Phoney Evangelists do phoney miracles now and only the fools get all worked up about it.

Answer 8

Miracles happens everyday. but some miracles comes from the other side of the fence


For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Matthew 24:24
King James Version

Answer 9

You must not be looking in the right place.

And as for church attendance, the only word I can think of for that is an Oscar Meyer product that you put on a sandwich.

Luke 11:29 And as the crowds were increasing, He began to say, "This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign shall be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

Answer 10

There's no point in even bothering.

Every miracle he performs would eventually be explained by science and cease to be mysterious. He is a God of laws after all, not magic.
