...seems to indicate that you think that the nature of, the qualities of, the essences of man have dramatically, significantly, wholesale changed since 2000 years ago. I find that an enormously flawed, erroneous, silly idea.

I did not say that God doesn't do miracles today. What I said was that we don't need miracles. Christians walk by faith and not by sight. We rest in God's promises, not in anything else.

God honored, required folks to walk by faith from at least as far back as Abraham.

Certainly those who have great faith--a gift--though--without dramatic miracles . . . evidently have the greater reward.

But as a collection of human critters, the race NEEDS miracles now as much as any time in history. All the more so with atheism; secular humanism etc. convincing so many millions that God does not exist.

Also, God is infinitely an UNidiot. He is not about to allow satan and his goons all the counterfeit miracle working power.

I suppose it depends on the definition of need. I contend that human nature has not changed and that therefore the need for a great number of humans to believe God's Almightiness by demonstration of His power . . . has not changed. All the more so when satan is all cocked and ready to support the global government with counterfeit miracles.
