Many reasons why. They where handed down hundred, and 2 - 3 thousand years before they were actually manifested. And some were stated that in this bloodline and that bloodline this would happen. So in order for a particular person to know the bloodline and lineage of a persons background back then in order to forcably make a prophecy, theirs no way an ordinary man, or an extraordianary for that matter man can do it. They didnt have technology and all the nessessary things in place to make it happen!
To put it further, even today, with all the technologies we have before us, we still have a hard time trying to make sense of putting the bible together in such a way that even scientist and all the great scholars of the world need fancy and magnificant computers and things to use to help figure these things out, and even today, man could not force a prophecy to happen.
Back then, with no help of technology and the use of no books to read as we have today, as only the special elete had this gift of being able to read and write. You were considered a rich man or very important if you could do these things. And they didnt come into play until much later.
It all comes down to faith. We cant buy faith and we cant see it. Either you believe or you dont. People were there in front of Jesus while he performed miracles and yet, some did not believe, while others did? It all depended on their faith and how they used it. If they decided to walk in that faith or not! We all have that choice.
God said, i set before you life or death, but CHOOSE life, so that you and your desendants might live! choosing life means walking in faith!
[h=3]John 3:16[/h]New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
See how it says
believes! This is where our faith steps in.
For me, i choose to believe every word of the bible as i have to take every WORD or i cant take not 1 WORD! For i know i am not GOD. Meaning, i am not smarter than him to say i can pick and choose the parts that is right and wrong thinking i know best as this would mean i know more than he does and putting him below me thinking i know it all!
I know i dont know hardly anything when it comes to such wonderful things! His ways are not our ways the bible states, so i cant even dare to think of how he can figure things out.
I do know that, He has brought me to many places in my life where i have never thought or deampt of. I planned things to go a certain way, but God lead me a different one. And now that i am here on His path, i realize that His path is so much better than the path i would have taken than the one i had chosen for myself. God is SO much smarter than me that i cant even fatham it!
He loves us all so very much! YOU TOO! He has performed many miracles in my life! Many life saving ones and others just as important, although very small to the outsider, but to me i will never forget. Like the time i had no food and was trying to raise a teenage son and crying out and praying for food around Christmas time and specifically for a loaf of bread while alone in my home in my living room and within a half an hour their was a knock at my door with a gentelman standing with a loaf of bread for me.
God is REAL! These miracles are many in my life and it happens when and IF you beleive! But the key is putting your life in His hands and letting His take the reigns... Not just partially, but fully...
I have tried to do that as best as i can.. I am not perfect at it, and i know i need Jesus every day of my life as He is the only one who sustains me and fills me when i need help. He will and can do all these things for you too, IF you let Him...
Just ask and seek Him to help you do this and He will! Trust Him,, He wont let you down...
