Actually, there are monsters in the world that might be hiding in someone's bedroom that will kill them tonight. They are called human beings. Or did you miss all the reports about how many serial killers, rapists, and pedophiles there are walking around freely?

That is the way non-believers interpret the Bible and there is no evidence for denying miracles.
You are saying that God can *reverse* his own laws of physics and nature?

I don't buy it.

Maybe he can recreate something new, but not go in reverse. That is too backwards looking. And many religious people seem to be backwards looking.

Just because God has the ability to create many wonderful things, does NOT mean he has the ability to perform magic.

Yeah, magic is actually synonomous with deception.
Is that what you mean?

TWICE IT SAYS.. ( SO OUT OF THE MOUTH OF TWO WITNESSES THIS WILL BE ESTABLISHED )

Psa 97:5

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.


Mic 1:4

The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.




SO WHEN THE MOUNTAINS MELT LIKE WAX BEFORE HIM


IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL MAGIC ? OR IS IT CREATION OF A NEW LAW?

WHATEVER IT IS YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALL IT..
HE HAS THE KEYS TO CREATION AND KNOWS HOW TO USE THEM!!
THAT IS WHAT HEALING IS ALSO, HE PROBABLY IS USING THE KEYS OF CREATION. SO IN THE FACE OF HUNDREDS OF WITNESSES WHO HAVE BEEN HEALED OR RECORDED IT .. ARE YOU CLAIMING GOD DOES NOT HEAL?

I think that fantasy is the wrong word... the signs, wonders are to be used to interpret the prophetic things in scripture, comparing spiritual with spiritual

You simply do not believe in God, it seems, or at least that God is able to set boundaries. Also, do you not believe, as scientists do that there are at least 12-13 dimensions which we cannot observe with our natural senses? You mostly sound like you are angry with God for setting boundaries for his purposes for our natural lives. By this I am referring to the scripture about mankind being subjected to the futility of death for a set amount of time in order to learn about good and evil and the consequences of selfishness.

I believe God is good but I do not know if He is infinitely powerful. Neither do you.

But I think most of this is a mystery.
