If God is  real, why doesn't he perform miracles in the same way he  did in the bible?

God sent His only Son to die on a cross for the remission of sins. Man didn't believe it. \nJesus was born of a Virgin. Man didn't believe it. \nGod is destroying sinful cities. Man don't believe it.\nGod is trying to get our attention because of all the moral decay. Man won't believe it.\nNuclear bombs are soon to explode. Man won't believe it. \nThe christians are soon to be raptured. The christians believe it.

God inspires the true one and not the false. The false one will usually have something in it against reason/natural law

God can be real if you choose to believe in Him. In english, He is a He because the word It carries a somewhat negative meaning, and becuase of the <presumably> male-centred society existing in Britain when the word and concept of God was adopted.\nAs for Him becoming, if you believe in Him, than He would have to be ever-existing. Read the Quran's Sura-tul-Ahad for further information.\nI personally have a belief that God is more an ever-binding omni-present force than He is a discrete thing. I.e: closer to electricity, which we cant touch, feel or usually see, than a statue.

I know of at least two things that your god can't do:\n\n1) He can't defeat an army that uses iron chariots. (It's in the Book of Judges, you can look it up.)\n\n2) He can't make me believe in him.\n\nI wonder what else he can't do.

There is a true God, who has as many definitions as there are people - and then there is a biblical god Jehovah, who was an ancient desert-people deity of storms and thunder who later became elevated to the god of the Jews. Few people ever consider the idea that the genuine "Creator" or "Almighty" is only seen in tiny, rare glimpses in the bible. The real God is in truth and science, and in the highest levels of human logic and understanding. Christians do a disservice to the true God by believing all the mythologies about hellfire and the wrath of Jehovah, but Christianity is a religion as much about mindless obedience born out of fear as it is about salvation and love.

yes - His reality and handiwork are seen throughout His creation: the intricate designs of all natural life-forms and nature's delicate balance. More importantly than that is how we can know, interact and fellowship with Him on a personal basis and how He answers our prayers and does the miraculous in the lives of believers world-wide. \n\nAnother thing is how He fulfilled scripture when He restored Israel as a nation and preserves it in the face of overwhelming opposition.....Ever looked on a map to see how tiny & vulnerable Israel is ? It's totally mind boggling that it can survive when you see how it compares in size to the nations around it that desire more than life itself, to see it's destruction..

Yes.  God can do anything including things that seem impossible to you and me.   I cannot concieve how he would do it, but then I am not God.  I can concieve, however, that an all powerful God could will himself unable to pick up a grain of sand (I know you were thinking of something a little larger).  And since He is all powerful, He could will Himself able to pick it up when it suited His plan.  I know this is lame circular logic, but so was your question.

I think only proof of miracles done by Jesus is Quran. Tell you why ? Quran claims itself to be from God and asks those who denies this to bring something comparable in Arabic to Quran. This is a challange that has baffled critics of Quran for centuries. They used to meet each year and promise to bring something by next year, they worked hard and till today, they could not produce something similar to one chapter in Quran. So since Quran prooves itself to be a book of God, we can believe affirm our belief in Jesus also.\n\nI will give below few words of George Sale, a christian missinary and critic, who has studied Arabic and translated Quran to English.\n\n"I will mention but one instance out of several, to show that this book was really admired for the beauty of its composure by those who must be allowed to have been competent judges.  A poem of Labîd Ebn Rabîa, one of the greatest wits in Arabia in Mohammed’s time, being fixed up on the gate of the temple of Mecca, an honour allowed to none but the most esteemed performances, none of the other poets durst offer anything of their own in competition with it.  But the second chapter of the Korân being fixed up by it soon after, Labîd himself (then an idolater) on reading the first verses only, was struck with admiration, and immediately professed the religion taught thereby, declaring that such words could proceed from an inspired person only.\n\nThe style of the Korân is generally beautiful and fluent, especially where it imitates the prophetic manner and scripture phrases.  It is concise and often obscure, adorned with bold figures after the eastern taste, enlivened with florid and sententious expressions, and in many places, especially where the majesty and attributes of GOD are described, sublime and magnificent; of which the reader cannot but observe several instances, though he must not imagine the translation comes up to the original, notwithstanding my endeavours to do it justice.\n\n   Though it be written in prose, yet the sentences generally conclude in a long continued rhyme, for the sake of which the sense is often interrupted, and unnecessary repetitions too frequently made, which appear still more ridiculous in a translation, where the ornament, such as it is, for whose sake they were made, cannot be perceived.  However, the Arabians are so mightily delighted with this jingling, that they employ it in their most elaborate compositions, which they also embellish with frequent passages of, and allusions to, the Korân, so that it is next to impossible to understand them without being well versed in this book.\n\n   It is probable the harmony of expression which the Arabians find in the Korân might contribute not a little to make them relish the doctrine therein taught, and give an efficacy to arguments which, had they been nakedly proposed without this rhetorical dress, might not have so easily prevailed.  Very extraordinary effects are related of the power of words well chosen and artfully placed, which are no less powerful either to ravish or amaze than music itself; wherefore as much has been ascribed by the best orators to this part of rhetoric as to any other.  He must have a very bad ear who is not uncommonly moved with the very cadence of a well-turned sentence; and Mohammed seems not to have been ignorant of the enthusiastic operation of rhetoric on the minds of men; for which reason he has not only employed his utmost skill in these his pretended revelations, to preserve the dignity and sublimity of style, which might seem not unworthy of the majesty of that Being, whom he gave out to be the author of them; and to imitate the prophetic manner of the Old Testament; but he has not neglected even the other arts of oratory; wherein he succeeded so well, and so strangely captivated the minds of his audience, that several of his opponents thought it the effect of witchcraft and enchantment, as he sometimes complains."\n\nWe can see that eventh

Of course, God did it all.  It is sciences job to figure out how God works the miracles that he/she does!

Better stated would be "How do YOU know God is real?"  The very creation you live in is a testimony of His power.  The very air you breathe testifies of Him. The fact that He lets you live when you do things less than right, is a testimony of His patience and love for you.  We aren't given PROOF otherwise you would not need to "live by faith".\n  Practically speaking what if all those true believers going around doing good things in the name of Jesus, and trying to help the weak are wrong and there is no God. Was it such a terrible way to live your life?  But what if they're right and the non believers have to stand before the very One they would not acknowledge as real?  Who ends up with the bad deal?  Pray that the Lord would call you to understanding the simple yet complex word known as "faith"

Everything around you is true because of god caring for you. Anyone who says there is no god is making a fool of himself coz his/her very existance is due to a power beyond his/her imagination and control which we name god. This is regardless of religion/holy books. Imagine what would be your situation if you were running for your life in a place like Iraq. Instead you are sitting before your laptop , having fun in a protected environment, drinking coffee, hearing music and talking crap that "God is not there"...lol....which by itself proves that god cares. Some things are beyond explanation....

there is evidence of God. look at some of the crazy things that happen that just don't seem possible. and what about the Bible? If you can't believe a Book that is the Word of God, how can you believe anything? even science, since man came up with it and man is not perfect? if there is a God (and I believe there is) than it only makes sense that He be perfect. but man is not. I personally would trust God any day.

What I have experienced is answered prayer; maybe not as instant or as dramatic. I have prayed sometimes for situations that seemed impossible, and God answered in such a beautiful way. I can think of so many problems that have been solved, because they looked like they would have a bad outcome, but prayers, have turned it around. It restores my belief in praying, even more than ever, when I realize that miracles like this DO happen. I'm sure that in some way, somewhere, God is still creating these miracles. Some don't believe it to be true; but that's ok...I think that great FAITH is a requirement for miracles like this to happen. God Bless you and your friend.

You really can't.  Except for creating the universe... and seeing that we can't really witness that firsthand, you have to take that miracle with a little skepticism too.\n\nIf you look at most modern religions currently being founded, you can easily imagine how "miracles" could be artificially created.  The Buddha Boy in Nepal for example.  He meditated under a tree for six months without food or water.  Sounds like a miracle, hunh?  Except, local priests would erect a tent around him at night so people wouldn't disturb him and wouldn't let anyone examine the boy up close at any time.  A skeptic could easily say the boy got up and stretched his limbs, ate, urinated and defecated during the night hours under the cover of the tent.\n\nOther "leaders" use such things as sleight of hand to materialize objects or use "cold reading" techniques to demonstrate amazing divination powers.\n\nIn short, the only way to tell an illusion from a miracle is by suspending your disbelief or being allowed to study a "miracle" up close.  As any professional skeptic can tell you... people with "miracles" never let you examine them up close.

Are you really going to believe any answer that anyone gives on this one?\n\nOr are you just trying to say that miracles don't happen?
