For Angus Buchan and the believers in South Africa, God grew potatoes in an el nino drought, without so much as a rain from heaven, and with dead, scorched vines on top of the ground from the beginning of the potatoes growth.
This miracle is recorded in the movie "Faith Like Potatoes", and you can borrow or buy the DVD with Angus' own commentaries on his conversion to Christ and call to preach the Gospel and of the many miracles the Holy Spirit did, confirming the Gospel by the power of the Holy spirit demonstrating His grace, to the people.
You can watch the recreated story as a movie, here;

Then expect your slam of Enoch to be answered to your face, here, as I used Scripture to support the Gospel of Christ as He gave it to us, and you blasphemed it, in your ignorance of it's history and of it's use by Jesus Christ, by His womb brothers, by His apostles, and by His disciples.
This forum is a debate forum, and no one can come here and expect to not have to defend their doctrines by just ignoring the debate and then commanding others to not speak of what they do not believe in and have never learned of, when they are presented to them.

Good thing potatoes are drought tolerant. My grandma had a potato farm in Idaho and worked in a cellar.

God paid your phone bill? Why hasn't he regrown limbs on the Vets who lost limbs while serving our country? They say, "God works in mysterious ways." Looks like your gods' priorities are out of order.

Potatoes do not grow without rain or water. A whole crop of them did, an abvious miracle, which was noted by the entire country of South African believers, of all denominations who had gathered to pray for their nation when Angus Buchan was told by God to "plant potatoes", and in faith, he did so, against the advice of the bankers who also witnessed the miracle.
Read the story and see God's power at work in impossible circumstances, for His glory.

Any vet who wanted to seek God can find Him, and any person who has lost a body part who receives "faith which comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" can receive a miracle from God.
But you are not really concerned about vets who lost body parts, but are just accusing God for it, and in the accusation you are asking to tempt God, not to help vets or to give God glory.
You are like the devil who told Jesus 'if you are the son of God" do this, or this, or this.
Jesus can do anything, but He does not do anything to prove to skeptics and unbelievers that He can, for then, they would also be more accountable to Him for their rejection of His Light which lights every human being who comes into their being in Adam, and they would be worse off in the darkness of the Lake of Fire forever than they first would have been, for there are degrees of rewards for the wicked and for the righteous who have repented of their sins and who serve Him, in the day of judgment for each, according to their deeds done in the body.

Try it again. We did it a few summers. You can grow potatoes in plastic bags, paper bags as well. Potato roots will forage for water underground and can grow more than five feet down and across, it will find the moisture.

Antiquated God does not answer prayers. It instructs and arranges situations. There. It not God. He/she is the Boss.

All faithed based testimonies produce non-testable results. In other words, he said he prayed and God paid his bills, next time he prays and God did not pay his bills. Then he made up some explanations
about his God.

Prayer shows close minded stupidity. If much praying hasn't shown any difference, why do it?
