Because that doesnt agree with the will of the father.And not everyone can do miracles.Faith,fasting,and praying are needed in an excessive way,some may be able to,but after lots of efforts.God only gives the authority for people who deserve to perform miracles.
A convenient excuse for you to use when it doesn't work, eh?
When he answers many prayers,it is highly unlikely that he doesnt exist.
And how many of those prayers were people praying to find car keys? Make the touchdown in the big game? What about all the people starving in Africa who pray and pray and pray and get nothing?
You have to understand that it is God who does the miracles through the people,and to do that through the people,those people must be satisfying and worthy to use for him.
You're kidding. God could help people, save them from terrible things, but he doesn't,
because he doesn't like the people he'd have to use to get the job done?
First of all, that's disgusting. And why would God care? Is he afraid to get cooties or something?
And secondly, why would he even need to use people in the first place? He never needed to use people in the Bible. He could snap his fingers and get things done.
Your interpretation of this sure paints God in a bad light.
He wont do that to someone who will claim that he did it on his own for example.And even Jesus didnt do miracles in some areas to the sick,because that would have been against the will of his father (which is also his will btw.) because those people are faithless and looking for a sign and of course,arent worthy of receiving these miracles.
I can turn into a dinosaur. What's that, you don't believe me? You want me to prove it? You want me to turn into a dinosaur in front of your very eyes?
Well, i could, but y'see, the fact you don't believe me means you aren't worthy of seeing me turn into a dinosaur. Maybe if you had genuinely believed me I would do it, but your lack of belief means that you get nothing.
When you believe me, let me know, and then I'll show you.
Some for example,no matter what power you may have in healing,you wont be able to heal their blindness for example,because God sometimes put that on purpose because that would be the only way for them to get saved etc. . I know for example my ex-teacher,he was a muslim and so into islam,his daughter's life was completely hopeless,so he left everything and promised to be a Christian and help people to christianity and always make a testimony to bring people to the love of Christ If his daughter would survive (after asking Christ to heal her and praying for some time) ,and she did.He was very rich,and his parents left him when they knew his intention after his daughter's healing,and wanted to even kill him but he ran away,and he can barely now satisfy his hunger with the money he has now.If people show would show such faith after miracles,God would do them all the time.
How do you know it was God, and not, y'know,
the doctors? How have you eliminated every single explanation other than God?
There's no need to discuss much of God's will here,because it is very complex and beyond our normal understanding,as he is infinite in intelligence , and the smartest of us is fooler than the fool compared to him.So his will is totally different from ours,and he sees things differently.But you have to understand 2 main things, his will is to accomplish justice and salvation of the souls
Accomplish justice and the salvation of souls, and yet by your own admission he is withholding evidence from unbelievers - the very thing required to achieve salvation!
And saying, "God works in mysterious ways" or anything of the sort is basically saying that it makes no sense to you, yet you believe it any way...
Sorry,I should have explained better.Seek from all your heart and your soul.
Look, GA777, the simple fact is that many atheists have sought, sought longer and harder than some Christians. Some people who are now atheists were once people who longed desperately to be Christian. And yet when they sought,m they found nothing, and sooner or later, they reached the inevitable conclusion.
Why is it that you have such a hard time realising that people can do the same things that you did and yet reach a different conclusion? Why do Christians so often say, "Well, if you only tried harder...?" The fact is that many people did try, and the fault is not in them, but the fact that there is just nothing out there.
Then why do so many claim to have had their prayers answered?Of course he wont answer all prayers,because he sees things differently,he doesnt see them the way we do,he only answers prayers by his will ( which is to accomplish justice and salvation of souls).
They claim it because they want to believe it. People have a strange ability to justify anything that they want to believe. So if they desire to believe in God, then they will latch onto anything which gives them an opportunity to justify their faith. That's why so many people discount evolution based on the pseudo-science of creationists. Not because they have examined both sides and found that the pseudo-science works better, but because they want to believe creationism, and if they are given a reason - any reason - to believe it, they'll grab onto that reason, push evolution away and hold onto their pseudo-science no matter what. People will believe whatever they want to, provided they have a half-cocked reason for doing so. The only way to avoid this is to subject beliefs and opinions to rigorous testing - which is exactly what science does.
Sometimes I don't answer the phone when it rings; that doesn't mean I'm not home, does it?
But it does mean that, for the person on the other end, he may as well believe that you aren't home. That is the message you are sending him, isn't it? When it comes to God, this is called
atheism.
