How can any "miracle" on earth compare to being an adopted child of God and co-inheritor in the kingdom of God with Christ?
Genuine miracles do take place today, for the same reasons they did in the Apostolic mission, to verify the Word preached, and in answers to prayers as God so chooses for His own Purpose and Glory.
Genuine miracles do take place today, for the same reasons they did in the Apostolic mission, to verify the Word preached Absolutely. Any "miracle" that takes place should be miracles that focus our attention on the word of God. It is through God's word that faith is established and Christians grow. Anything that seeks to focus our attention away from God's word is questionable at best.
I'm reminded of God's instruction:
Deu 13:1-6 If a prophet rises among you, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder which he foretold to you occurs, saying, Let us go after other gods which you have not known, and let us serve them, you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For Jehovah your God is testing you to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after Jehovah your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments, and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken to turn you away from Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you out of the house of slaves, to thrust you out of the way in which Jehovah your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put the evil away from the midst of you.
We are only to listen to the voice of the Lord and that can only be found in the scriptures.
