This is not a post about wether miracles are true or not. For the purpose of this discussion let's just say that all miracles in the bible are true.
Why don't they happen anymore? Stuff like the Sun staying still so
Battles can be won, sea's parting, sick people healed etc.
The media can now cover anything that could ever happen anywhere in the world, but no miracles are ever
Reported.
I say it's because:
A) miracles had to happen at that point in the past because the technology that assists us now Wasn't available back then so maybe god stepped in? "Ain't invented boats yet have you sir, let me part that sea for you."
B) the miracle is subjective. The idea
Of immense rain would really ruin my day, however a farmer on the brink of going under would welcome this
Massive downpour as it might save his livelihood. A needed miracle for him, an inconvenience to me.
C) people were more open to miracles then. If god tried that sort of stuff
Now, it would just be shot down and degraded with some logical explanation. Cos we are more cynical now than ever.
What's a believers take on this? Am I even close?
Thanks in advance
