"Once I realized how many miracles were occurring in our own day and which were so like the miracles of old and also how wrong it would be to allow the memory of these marvels of divine power to perish from among our people. It is only two years ago that the keeping of records was begun here in Hippo, and already, at this writing, we have nearly seventy attested miracles. (22.8; also see his Retractions 1.13.7, also 1.14.5).
My advice on this would be to ask........."What is a Miracle"????
It seems to me that a whole lot of people use that word rather loosely and much too frequently with no Scriptural sense at all.
People to day want to see God at work today just like He did thousands of years ago so to do so they fabricate or exaggerate events in order to make what they want come to pass.
Does the Bible contain any information as to whether miracles would be on going until the end of time?
What then is a MIRACLE? A miracle is a divine operation that transcends what is normally perceived as natural law; it cannot be explained upon any natural basis.
The miracles of the Bible era were done in the presence of a multitude of
credible witnesses—even hostile observers. When the Lord multiplied the loaves and fishes, possibly some ten thousand or more people were present. Truly, the signs validating Christianity were not “done in a corner” (Acts 26:26).
Actual signs must be
independent of secondary causes. That means there must be no possible way to explain the miracle in a natural fashion.
One is reminded of the boy whose cat gave birth to kittens. When the lad noticed the kittens were blind, he prayed for them. Sure enough, in about nine days they all could see! Is that a miracle or an answer to prayer?
