You need to relax a little bit

I actually thought I had. My last post to you was very civil, was it not ? Or am I way off the mark here ?

Do we not see the miracles you speak of because...one..it would be used for profit...two it would be used to prove something?

No, it's because Acts 8 teaches that only the apostles could give the miraculous gifts, and they are gone now.

What has He done in your life?

Plenty. The most important of which is saving my wretched soul from eternal destruction. That in itself is enough of a "miracle" to last me the rest of my days. Anybody looking to have miracles today, in all due respect, is discounting the importance of Christ's sacrifice for mankind. God doesn't owe us any miracles today.

The Lord bless you.

Your 'only the apostles' thing

IS

Scripturally and logically absurd. And it's easily demonstrated--in due time.

You'd best let go of such a lie from hell.

No...He doesn't owe us ANYTHING but Love doesn't come in boxes of what is owed. He said He would give you the desires of your heart. He doesn't owe you that either, but freely gives, and if that means a miracle then its that too.

I still see a wall....you gave me the right words, they are perfect words, but your heart is not in them.
I agree with Christ being enough, but God's nature was to walk with his people, to interact. Thats like you saying...I made my kid...he was born wasn't he...thats enough. I think if you have kids, you want to give them all you can, or at least what you feel is in their best interest. Our Heavenly Father is no different, we were made in HIS image. All I can say...is...He is more real to me than my earthly dad, and at 50 yrs. old, I still feel like a child who can climb up in His lap and say ABBA Father, I need help, I need advice, I need a hug, I need wisdom, I need understanding. Needy little brat aren't I? rofl BUT I know He loves me and will NEVER forsake me. I don't care how it looks. Even Christ cried out...Father why have you forsaken me, but today we know He didn't forsake Him. That is just the way it felt to Jesus. We all will feel that way at times, and just try to hang on. Sorry..I get off subject sometimes but just write what I feel like I should write.
