Genesis 1 and there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. And there was evening, and there was...

It is what the bible teaches. Can you show me where God has forgiven anyone who has not first repented?

Interesting but it does not begin to explain why God has done miracles in the past or why he should do them now. Jesus called hios miracles 'signs' as they pointed to who he was, without him needing to anounce it. The apostles did miracles again to authenticate there ministry. What is the...

Except the bible plainly teaches that God took 6 days of 24 hours to create everything. Of course if you think that the day=1k years etc applies, then you should try applying that to other passages. Jesus fasted 40 thousands years in the desert. At the flood it rained for forty thousand years...

Only if we are 'wise' enough to accept his offer of salvation.

I really don't understand what you are trying to say. Are you addressing Christians or nonchristians?

Jesus did not forgive his murders. He ask God to forgive them. They were not forgiven by Jesus. We do not have to forgive those who rape our wifes/daughters, or kill our sons or who rob us and having done so do not repent of these crimes, the same is true of all offences against us. We do...

How many nonchristians will see this message? This is a 'Christian forum', of course you could be a member of a weird sect that believes only members of this sect are Christian? Do you think people here are saved?

Who's example should we follow in forgiving offencese agianst ourselves? Both God and Jesus only forgive those who are sorry for their offence against God/Jesus. Jesus on the cross forgave one thief but did not forgive the other who didn't repent. He also handed his murders over to God, asking...

One that is perfectly holy, just and mercifull to deal with a rebellious self rightous sinner. As romans says ALL have sinned.

We all have a direct connection to God, via the Spirit living in us. What we also have is God given intelligence with which to work out how we should serve. If we are seeking to use that in Gods service we will be as Romans 12: 1+2 not conforming to the pattern of this world, but we should be...

Very few nonchristians walk into a church looking for 'advice' and even fewer looking for spiritual help/advice. Among Christians you have, those who helpped you come to Jesus, Pastors and elders who one has built up a relationship with or other Christians. A large part of my disagreement with...

Agree 100%. Every Christian has experienced a miracle, the miracle of Gods saving grace.

"A more relevent question is why should God perform miracles for us?" "Because he loves us and delights to provide for our needs, in particular that things that are beyond our own ability to gain for ourselves." God already provides for us. We cannot expect God to intervien in our lives. That...

The binding and loosening was a priestly function banning an activity or permitting an activity. It had and has no supernatural or miraculus function. Jesus's command to go was given to the disciples, all eleven of them to pass on to their disciples to pass on to there disciples etc etc etc...

A lovely sentiment and totally unbiblical. We belief because it is true, not because of a miracle and we all have a testimony of Gods grace that the ungodly do not understandor want to understand.

Are you agreeing with what I've posted or arguing?

And cynically I think, that God must be fed up of all these people crying 'God show me.....?' When he has put them among a people of experienced, learned Christians who can do what they are calling out to God, if only they had the sence to listen.

A more relevent question is why should God perform miracles for us?

If Jesus was confronting Rome he would have raised an army and fourght. As it was Rome was the governing authority in Israel who carried out his exceution. Rome's empire, road network, peace and language enabled Christians to travel and spread Christianity. Jesus died around ad 35. Jerusalem...
