I have told you long ago that your endless verses prove nothing.

To the contrary:

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. - Isaiah 55:10-11

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. – John 6:65

Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: - Luke 24:25

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. - Matt 5:18

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63

Those of us with "ears to hear" immediately recognize the miracle of being able to hear Him. The ones below were physically hearing Christ but they could not Spiritually hear Him:

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43

Evidently though you have rejected those signs and demand others. The Jews wanted other signs too, and the Greeks wanted wisdom. But we have experienced the power of God.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. - I Cor 1:18-25

Christians don't just believe in miracles, we rely on them.

To God be the glory!

I have no clue what you are seeing or hearing. You are not proving anything by repeating the same verses. People could see pink elephants and think they are angels...

Experience is not a sign. It's a symptom. Pain is a symptom; bleeding is a sign. I have not rejected an signs. And I do not deman anything that's not in the bible:

Now, do you have any of these signs or is St. Mark a liar?

You proved nothing so far.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

And, at times, my hearing has been the greatest miracle round these parts.
