    my issue is when i read a scripture they tell me its metaphorical

    then when i take it as such they condemn me for it like "the good book says this"

    so its like wtf do you want?

    cant nobody condemn you. any book you look at of the ancient spiritual nature has one common bottom line...it will show u universal law and its cause and effects. it shows you how to play the game, the rules and how folks can win or lose. thats why theres so many parallels in so much stuff that is so spaced out and remote from one another in the sense of their human authors to be chalked up as fantasy or plagiarism.

    welllll....maybe it might be that humans have fell off that bad since then....whole lot of stuff going on nowadays that wasnt going on then. plenty of modern day miracles. u have to have eyes to see. the biggest miracle that few achieve in this day and age is clarity. if a sea parted right now ? would be like "w/e dude...thats just special effects...".

    yeah if we all watchin cnn of course but in person idk. depends on the situation i guess

    you know actually, VIBE, I asked a question pertaining to EXACTLY what was in the topic post as you did accurately quote it yourself;



    It's a fact, that we would need Job, Moses, and Sampson here, in order to answer the concerns he has in his question.

    Or else, I was correct here the other day when I posted that ? does still perform miracles today, we humans are just expected to call them something else whenever they occur




    ...thanks for pointing that out, and making sure you were clear on what I posted.

    Yeah, I get you. But the question wasn't if they were here, which is why he stated 'during that time period'.

    Don't involve them into our time period, his question was just, 'why doesn't it happen today like it did then'. You're right about miracles being done today but on the level of 'parting waters' or 'talking bushes' or whatever else that's extremely divine. It doesn't happen like that these days. I think Judah said something to the fact that if it did happen today, we would say it's some special effects (considering we see it on tv)

    If we saw it personally, well it would be a trip and we'd be crazy.

    So why though? I don't think the answer is, "there's miracles that are today but we don't see them". I think the answer is we've all fallen off that badly. We don't have the faith and strength that they did in the past. We have extreme distractions that prevent us from being very close to ? . That prevents the extreme divine miracles from being shown to us. We're too far into a world that's full of sin and distractions more so than in their time period.

    You think if they had tv's computers video games cars casinos etc they would've followed 'Jesus'?? I don't. I think they would've said something like, 'hold on, I'm almost done with this level'. Seriously.
