Every time D1B farts, an angel dies.They went back to the mothership.Chizzang wrote:The new Testament is fairly littered with Angels coming down and having detailed conversations with notable biblical characters... Why don't angels come and visit us anymore like they used to?
And incredible Miracles... they used to happen all the time
Jesus performed over three dozen with no assistance in the New Testament and God himself (the big guy) had a staggering list of doozies like parting seas and turning people into pillars of salt, Talking Donkey's and knocking down the towing walls of Jericho as well as holding the sun and moon in place
50,000 enemy soldiers dropped dead on sight of the Ark one afternoon
These ^ are MAJOR miracles
Why is GOD so different today..?

Keep in mind there is likely a rational explanation for what is called a "miracle" -- it is just that our learning and knowledge has progressed to the point of explaining the cause or reason of the cure. For example, just as we don't know what the "trigger" is which causes many illnesses or diseases, we don't know whether there is a "trigger" which might cause a cure. The cancer patient mentioned above was immediately placed on a multi-hour flight, flying in excess of 35,000 feet for several hours, to undergo ground-breaking treatment being performed at a highly specialized hospital. Did the flight "trigger" a cause? If it did, we don't know why. However, perhaps the miracle was that God placed her in circumstances which -- unknown to man -- trigger a remission of brain cancer.
You are the best Joe... Thank you

So you would agree that God has changed his tactics of parting seas and turning humans into pillars of salt and is moving to a more subtle approach - more nuanced...

So god is more concerned about Joe's friend than he is about the thousands being slaughtered in wars right now.JoltinJoe wrote:First, there are claims of angels appearing today.
