I'm asking honest questions, am I not? Should I be emotionless, like a dead doorknob? :) I'm a human, am I not. Please allow me to express myself the way I want to.

Seeking the truth, not dogmas.
The truth is found in a person. Dogmas are not truth. When we finally are willing to bow before Him in need, longing to be free from US, and ask for Him in us to replace us in us... the old natured us.... to our amazement, He does exactly what He promised to do, dwell in our hearts by faith.

blessings,

Gideon

Haha not looking for a miraculous God, only asking questions about the Bible and the Christian faith
Hey, what is really neat is that when you find God, the miraculous part comes free of charge. It is sort of a package deal, lol.

I have not read the rest of the thread replies so apologize if in repetition, but the Orthodox Church history (and I have heard of supernatural miracles in other types of Christianity as well) is full of stories of miracles that are clearly supernatural in nature, including up until the present day. I don’t think God’s method of operation is different now than it was then...but maybe we are more cynical now than we were then and fail to recognize them.

I'm always willing to give religion the benefit of the doubt, and I respect your faith. However, in this particular matter I think your faith is vain. That is, in todays age when there's security cameras on every corner and smartphone in every hand, there's absolutely zero. And I mean zero evidence of any miracle. How come? Why those Orthodox miracles are only in claims of zealots? I can claim anything. Proof? What an unneeded formality, correct?

There's stories upon stories of supposed saints working great miracles. If even one of those saints were for real, why won't he go to a hospital and heal all the sick??? THAT would have been a loud testimony, right?

People here tell me miracles no more. You didn't get the memo? :) They say the Bible is sufficient. Or not?

Right now, I am being told by the Holy Spirit to tease you a bit. You know, see how much of a seeker you really are, lol.

It's not what Jesus was truly teaching: "those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment."

This pagan mojo that you're referring to is the invention of Paul/Saul who completely botched up Jesus's true words.

Am I losing my mind? LOL. The Bible is the very thing instructing us to grow in faith, to ask and it shall be given us, but to pray without wavering.

To claim the Bible in itself is sufficient without the power of God is like possessing the owners manual to the car, but never realizing the car (God) coupled with the key (faith) actually can GO somewhere, lol.

No supernatural miracles happening in the world today such as described in the Bible. It's a fact everybody admits, all Christians

I am certainly not declaring this to be fact, but my hunch is that what you are 'seeking' is what I am trying to avoid. ☺️.

Look. I walked your path for a lot of years. Angry, contentious, hard, attacking, looking for a good sparring with words. Iron sharpens iron, right? But you know what,
inside, I was secretly hoping someone would actually have answers and display them to me. I wanted my anger to be excised from my heart. Heck, who doesn't want peace and joy? Only a fool, right?

Be blessed. I wish you well and you are in my prayers.

OP:
I know that there are supernatural things happening today

I have witnessed so much, but who would believe?

That is the problem. In today's society of logic, if someone were to tell you of supernatural occurrences.... They are instantly labeled as nuts

OK, religion classics. Judging. Can't have a discussion of religion without that. Can't have coffee without caffeine or beer without alcohol, right? :)

Well you ask or stated that many christians do not rely on their faith in the Bible. Well i am diagnosing your question based on the statements from the Bible, since i am not God. my only source is the Bible.

What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.

Examples, please?

Just so we are on the same page, could you give an example of a miracle that you would not question and accept? If in fact you won't accept any example, then you aren't really seeking you are baiting.

I'll accept any witness of a miracle. However, in this thread, I define miracle as a supernatural event. Smth that defies the laws of the physical world. An amputated limb growing back - miracle hands down. Surviving cancer - definitely miracle of healthcare technology and/or miracle of the human body's immune system, but not a supernatural miracle.

What does it have to do with the OP? Totally off topic, sorry.
