You make broad, sweeping statements suggesting there is proof of divine intervention in the world, yet there is no such proof, except in the imagination of you believers. You say that I “demand that we be able to ‘move mountains’ and ‘pray anything, and miracles will happen.” No, I don’t. Because I know it is physically impossible for us to do so, and — this is the key part — there is no reason to believe there will be any divine intervention (”miracle”) that will result in any of us moving a mountain. Yet that is precisely what Jesus said we could do — if we only “believe” in him. So, I say to you, since you “believe” in him — show us the power of prayer. Demonstrate for all of us how potent belief in Jesus is, and more importantly, prove that Jesus was telling the truth when he said anyone who has “faith” can throw a mountain into a sea. It’s ridiculous. What Jesus literally said was — whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. So which amputees, having affirmed their faith in Jesus and God, have seen their limbs grow back? Hmmmmmm?

You know what Buckeye? I’ve explaiend it in detail, as have others here, as have noted experts on the bible, and yet, incredibly, you continue to stomp your foot and insist it isn’t so- fine- go your merry way- I’m done playing silly little games with you- We’ve explained hte church age to you- We’ve explained that Christ was speaking to His elect disciples for VERY SPECIFIC purpose of introducing a new age, We’ve explained that miracles were ONLY meant for a select few such as the prophets, Christ, the disciples and NOT for everyone, we’ve tried to tell you the deeper meanings of God’s word, yet you insist on stomping that little foot of yours and insisting that Christ was speaking literally and was speaking to everyone when it’s obvious He wasn’t. If you can’t see the obvious, then I don’t know what to tell you, but I can tell you this- I won’t be playing this little game any longer.
