Originally posted by Wayfinder I've often told people, "If you believe you've never seen a miracle.. you're not watching." I've seen plenty. And no, I'm not going to detail them. It was a personal experience that I don't want to throw out and have disrespectfully stomped on a public forum. However, as a note, the Bible itself foretold that a time would come when miracles would no longer be used by God. There would be a "time of the nations" when man would rule himself unhindered by God, without interference. God would give mankind that much time to prove his point... that he can correctly rule himself without God. That time would culminate in one major miracle... God taking over again. So it was expected by Christians that miracles would cease. Otherwise, Satan might accuse God of constantly imposing his will on man and never giving us a chance to do things ourselves. So God sent his son who performed miracles bigtime, allowed the apostles to perform them, then shut off the juice. Man had the evidence-- let's see what he does with it. I think the answer is clear. We can't rule squat.

I just wanted to comment on this post from a page or two ago ... in one sentence you say that you have witnessed plenty of miracles and in the next you say the Bible itself says that there will be no more miracles after Jesus. Which is it?

... or was that just your shotgun approach to debunking the "I have never seen a miracle" comment.
