Hi Miia,
The Spirit of love in the Master could not look at the misery around and do nothing.
And the Spirit and the same gifts were given to his brothers and all his children.
Hi Nick, Amen.
Hi,
I love the little miracles that happen every day.
Our Father works through all the circumstances of life to smooth the path.
Everything does work together for good to them who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Yes.
May 25, 2015 at 10:32 pm#798414MiiaParticipantHi David,
So, imagining you are a magician who spent 30 years looking for a [genuine] miracle but you found none. What you did find was people who you thought were either deceived or were being deceived by someone else. You are interested in logic… evidence… and how people think. You have gathered scriptural writings regarding miracles. Am I understanding you correctly?
In order to see miracles, a persons eyes must be opened. Their heart must be changed. All this happens through the Holy Spirit. This needs to include fellowship with the Father and Son.
Miracles may happen in a person’s life (when they are in tune with God) regularly, be they big or small. Telling others (apart from close family and friends) is not a part of it, imo. It’s not to prove anything. These kind of miracles are part of the relationship with GOD. God is God. God has POWER.
A person can easily stray from that, as scripture says, ‘The cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.’
But, the question is: What kind of miracles are you looking for. And, where are you looking for them?

The deaf and blind these days, poisoned by dogmas, can never be convinced about miracles.

If you do not believe in miracles guess what.
You will never see any.
May 29, 2015 at 2:32 pm#798570NickHassanParticipantHi,
The religions of man work best when God is not involved.
Imagine the utter chaos that would result if God did take part.
What the carnal Pharisees experienced would be mild by comparison.

I guess he is checking his shattered evidence for God being some sort of Babylonian trinity.
It may take a while.
May 31, 2015 at 11:43 pm#798711MiiaParticipantHi Nick. I was starting to enjoy talking with David, until…..
June 1, 2015 at 3:59 am#798714GeneBalthropParticipantMiia…..It’s not that GOD does not still perform mircales today, it’s that TRUE FAITH IS LACKING. READ AND STUDY THE PARABLE OF THE UNJUST JUDGE , the answer is there. True believers are connect with GOD THE FATHER, and he still performs mircales in their lives even today. Scripture says GOD does not change, he is the same today as he was yesterday. Believe me Miia i know where of I speak, i have had many, many, mircales performed in my life instantly as soon as i have ask for the help they were given me. I am without excuse for i have truly seen the proof of GOD THE FATHERS EXISTENCE AND PRESENCE IN MY LIFE.
peace and love to you and yours. ……………….gene
June 1, 2015 at 6:27 am#798717NickHassanParticipantHi GB,
Then why do you push your own teachings instead of His?
June 1, 2015 at 7:01 am#798720NickHassanParticipantHi
The name is effective
Mk 9.38
John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.
But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.…
It does not justify the user.
June 2, 2015 at 12:19 am#798754GeneBalthropParticipantNick…..so why do you push you own teachings instead of his, as you falsely accuse me of. You need to getthe beam out of you own eye first before you start to correct others . IMO
peace and love to you and yours. ………………..gene
June 2, 2015 at 12:26 am#798755GeneBalthropParticipantMiia……what I HAVE WRITTEN YOU IS THE TRUTH, GOD WILL DO TODAY EXACTLY WHAT HE AS DONE , HE CHANGES NOT. FAITH IS THE KEY, TRUE FAITH THAT IS NOT SUPPOSITION , IT MUST CONTAIN “EVIDENCE” OF THINGS NOT SEEN, NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD, BUT HE GIVES HIS EVIDENCETOHIS TRUE BELIEVERS, JUST AS HE SAID “I AM FOUND BY THEM THAT “SEEK” ME”. He is not far from us but is near us all. IMO
peace and love to you and yours. ………………gene
June 2, 2015 at 6:55 am#798759NickHassanParticipantHi GB,
Faith in your own ideas or the teachings of scripture?
June 2, 2015 at 6:57 am#798760NickHassanParticipantHi GB,
SPIRIT IS INTELLECT does not come from scripture yet you glorify it.
Where does it come from?
Which spirit?

Okay, I’ve only made about 2500 anti-Trinitarian posts.
And, I haven’t mentioned the trinity for like 2 years.
So obviously in nicks mind, I am sad that my (and his) “evidence for God being some sort of Babylonian Trinity” is shattered.”I’m instituting a new policy for myself. I’m no longer responding to nick at all because almost every post he speaks about me are:
1. Unrelated to the topic
2. Incorrect and falseI’m going to now try to create a signature where it explain this so Nick isn’t constantly hounding me to answer his personal attacks and so others understand why I am ignoring him.
June 2, 2015 at 1:11 pm#798777davidParticipantNick, how do I make a signature?
June 2, 2015 at 1:20 pm#798778NickHassanParticipantHi David,
I was not referring to you but the other david, Davidl.
June 2, 2015 at 1:51 pm#798784davidParticipantCan someone tell nick that I would still like to know how to make a signature that explains all the reasons why I no longer respond to him.
June 2, 2015 at 2:04 pm#798788davidParticipantHi,

Hi miia
I think what you said was simplified in nicks post here. The problem with this thinking is that it sets the person up for delusion.
If a person begins with a belief in Allah and looks for coincidences and miracles he will find things that could be perceived that way. The same goes for every religion and the 10,000 gods that came before. If a person prayed to Poseidon and believes in him and expected to see miracles, he will find a way to see them in his life and the world. Wouldn’t he?It’s easy to understand that it’s self deception when it’s others and they start with a belief in other gods. It much harder when it’s personal belief and we have emotional investment in our beliefs and our core beliefs stand to be shattered if we don’t find a way to see what we want to see.
We should NOT trust our heart.
We should NOT trust our senses, because they are so easily deceived.
We should trust actual real evidence.And the stronger the claim the more substantial the evidence should be.
People are so willing to believe. I was accidentally making people believe I apparently had the power of demons in me when I did the most elementary of mental effects. Childs play. Stupidly ridiculously simple stuff.
I look at posts on YouTube of effects you can buy in a magic store for $5.00 and endless debates go on whether its demonism or illusion. You can walk the person to the magic store and buy the effect for him but he still doesn’t believe. I FIND IT MIND NUMBINGLY FRUSTRATING.
Belief is the default for our brains. Belief is easy. It’s built into our brains. Finding patterns is also built into our brains. The human mind loves making connections even when there are no real connections. We are prone to magical thinking. We make the post hoc ergo propter hoc mistake all the time. (It came before therefore it caused).
Due to all the cognitive disabilities encased in the human Mind, all the mind failures and mental distortions and illusions, it is of great value in using MEASURMENT if you want to know what is real. And what is not real.
