[[I am very sorry for you.
Your claim is that supernatural miracles are not happening today, when one tells you they are with examples you dismiss them,]]

Yes yes, you’re always sorry for thsoe that don’t beleive what You do- We’ve established that already-

Now- who has supplied exampels of supernatural miracles that violate natural law? I’ll ask one last time- Where are the supernatural that are restoring lostl imbs? Lost organs? I keep hearign supernatural miracles are ‘all around us’ and keep gettign accused of ‘not believing’ but I’ve yet to see anyone present exampels of TRUE superntural miracles that violate natural law- Seems everyoen is content ignoring that request, and more intent on feelign sorry for me-

C. S. Lewis once wrote, “If you begin by ruling out the supernatural, you will perceive no miracles.”

God is not prohibited from taking action in the world if He so desires.

Louis Berkhof put it this way....”Laws of nature are “God's usual method of working in nature.... It is His good pleasure to work in an orderly way and through secondary causes.... But this does not mean that He cannot depart from the established order, and cannot produce an extraordinary effect, which does not result from natural causes, by a single volition, if He deems it desirable for the end in view.... When God works miracles, He produces extraordinary effects in a supernatural way.”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”... this verse immediately establishes that an infinite and all-powerful God brought the universe into being out of nothing and that He is thus sovereign over it.

If God has the capability of calling the universe into being out of nothing,.... then such things as turning water into wine, walking on water, and raising people from the dead are not only possible but expected.

As Norman Geisler put it this way...”If there is a God who can ACT, then there can be ACTS OF GOD. The only way to show that miracles are impossible is to disprove the existence of God... And that is something that cannot be done!
