Christ performed hundreds of thousands of miracles

[kaylagrl]

I should add that not "all of Israel" rejected Christ. This simply is not what the Word tells us.

Romans 11:7 NLT - "So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have--the ones God has chosen--but the hearts of the rest were hardened."

"Most" implies not all of Israel. This is extremely important. We cannot simply skip over this detail, for there is an incredibly important reason for why some did find the Favor of the Lord. We must know this answer if we are to understand the Word of God.

Two interesting posts, waiting for further explanation. Remember Romans 11 also says the blinding isn't permanent, only for a time.

 

[Nehemiah6]

Mark 6:5 NIV - "He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them."

You have taken the EXCEPTION to slam the general truth about the miracles of Christ and how he healed hundred of thousands in His short earthly ministry. This verse is speaking about deliberate unbelief. So perhaps it is you who should study the matter properly.

Unbelievable. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus healed hundreds of thousands of people. Ridiculous. This would mean that before He died, He Purified hundreds of thousands of Hearts. Jesus does not cast His pearls upon pigs. We must understand what that means. Keep doing your studying . . . you're missing the point of the ENTIRE Bible.

There will not be one lost of the Israel of God. New Jerusalem is the city of our Maker. It and the Israel encompassing it wre yet to come, along with all of its inhabitants.

America was never meant to be God's by the way. Its own founding fathers Christians keep admiring, giving credit to, were Freemasons, beginning with George Washington. They never consider it.

Read Thomas Paine's "Age of Reasoning," and you'll discover how the Founding Fathers of America swindled the Church to believing they were fighting for religious freedoms when the Founding Fathers were of the Enlightenment of Voltaire and others who opposed God.

Even John's Adam's Treaty of Tripoli states : the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.

You are correct about your assessment of the Founding Fathers!

So it's not about America itself, but more about American Christians, and that is especially considering what turmoil they will go through. Soon, Biden's health issues will be exposed along with his incapability, and China will sweep through it. California will be completely destroyed, and the land itself will be annihilated with missiles. It will be a desolation.

Well Biden will give way to Harris and she is most likely going to lead us to a united unified one world government. You're right on cue!

We could say, the loaves of bread and five fishes that fed 5,000 men (and if we include women and children) could be looked as not just the single miracle but the miracles that everyone was fed and there was many loaves and fishes left over. What could that count of miracles be? 10,000 miracles just in that one sitting?

 

[Nehemiah6]

10,000 miracles just in that one sitting?

More like 15,000. And then there was the feeding of the 4,000, or about 12,000.

 

[AandW]

More like 15,000. And then there was the feeding of the 4,000, or about 12,000.

Amen!

It's a tragedy to read these truths and think only 1 miracle happened when it was thousands upon thousands of miracles being performed by Christ in just a single setting.

What is most puzzling is that all of Israel did not fully believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. After all the miracles He had performed throughout Palestine, one would have expected that each and every person in that country would believe on Him without any reservations. But that simply did not happen. Which proves that miracles do not necessarily lead to saving faith. It is the preaching f the Gospel -- the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ that generates saving faith. And yet all will not believe.

agree and good observation.

how soon we forget...just like Israel

The Bible doesn't say how many people Jesus healed. It does say that He performed many more miracles than the Bible could contain. How many were healings we don't know. We do know Jesus never said no, never refused anyone who came to Him for healing.

There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written. John 21:25

 

[John146]

Miracles were not a distraction, they are clues.

But from the people's point of view, they were more interested in the physical healings than his teachings.

 

[John146]

And yet He still loves them and calls to them today. And He will keep His promises to the Jews.

Amen to that!

Yes, and none of these ppl were True Believers.

 

[SophieT]

interestingly, what qualifies as a 'true believer' is often simply an agreement with the individual who has decided who is and who is not a 'true believer'

this qualifies as playing little games and rounding up their personal 'I scored again' numbers that matter only to those who think such things matter

we are on an equal playing field
