     | 142 views

    We read of Jesus, and his disciples too, performing great miracles, and so, after studying Christianity for years, you would think that there would come a point … where we should be equipped to perform some kind of miracle … and we do not, so why?

    People know that there has to be some sort of higher being or a higher power. Baal, Buda, the sun, moon or stars, anything that people could put some kind of faith or phenomena to or unknown knowledge of to worship.

    If God who we know exists were to write a book - we would expect it to be unique (to be in a class all by itself) accurate (we could trust what it says) and supernatural (it would know stuff that only God could know) - I contend the bible is such a book.
