God's Passiveness.

[SuperTechmarine]

These days, we dont seem to see God as much as we used to 1000-2000 years ago.

Has he abandoned us? Or is he busy with another species?

[Gandalfus]

Only god knows.

[Valden]

God may have good reason not to intervene anymore, he is omniscient after all.

[Phier]

There is a irony to the razor in this case of course

[Markas]

I guess what people attributed to God 1000 years ago today we have reasonable, rational explanations for.

Haha I'm only joking he's actually on Sabbatical in the Delta Quadrant. He'll be back on 21st December this year.

I share this view.

As we discover more of the truth about the universe around us, organized religion loses its political power and grip over society.

Well, he did say Muhammad would be his last Prophet. (AKA God will not intervene in Mankind's affairs until the End Times)

No, Muhammad and/or the Quran said that god said it.
There are no independent witnesses to any such statement of god.

How was God more active miracle wise in the 11th century than he is in the 21st?

[MathiasOfAthens]

I dont remember seeing god a thousand years ago when the crusaders were raping muslim girls and the vikings were finishing up their raids.

[Gandalfus]

LOL. And the Arabs slaughtering innocent Christians in Armenia and Spain too. The blade cuts both ways.

[Denny Crane!]

Loads of miracles and prophets ages ago these days with video cameras and less gullible people all of a sudden the interventions cease.

Coinkidinks? No.

[sumskilz]

There haven't been any major miracles since the incarnation 2000 years ago the drop off was well before modern science. Though of course I'm not counting Mohammed or anyone else like that who came later, they will be the false prophets the Bible warned against. But you still get things like healing, the stigmata, there were Saints who could levitate and go for years without eating or drinking, that kind of thing. A lot of it slips under the radar because it isn't taken very seriously.

The bible actually foretold Muhammad's coming.

“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. 27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

Muhammad testified about Jesus.

Muhammad testified about Jesus.

I know Muslims like that whole inserting Mohammed thing into the Bible thing but this has all been very well refuted over the years.

SuperTech Marine i swear we just spoke about this on my early posts. God is not omniscient its logically incorrect when using the Abraham.

It is written that Jesus said His Father never stops working so perhaps the cynics just aren't in the right place at the right time. Perhaps you cannot see these things but go into any Christian bookshop and you will find many books written by people who have had the privilege of seeing and knowing God in these modern times.

Of course it goes without saying that many countries are pressured into not allowing evangelism but so far without much success. I think of Latin America, India, China, even Russia but to no avail for God will have His way regardless. The idea that Mohammed is the last prophet of God is just bunkum because prophecy is just as enduring in churches as it ever was.

For example, it is quite common for someone within a congregation to receive some word from the Lord which by the Spirit he or she is compelled to share it with their brothers and sisters in the Lord. This is prophecy at work and although it is not written of as in the Bible for the world to see, that particular church does see it. And what is given always has the authority of Jesus Christ at its roots.

From Genesis to Revelation that is the foundational principle of Christianity, so when some man comes along with something that is the opposite to all Scripture, raises himself above Jesus Christ, that man is a false prophet. But just to show how false, he and all his followers expect Him that they deny to come and judge all of us at the end of the world. Now how silly is that?

The only appraisal that Mohammed gets in Scripture is being called, even him never being personally named, a false prophet. He has embedded his followers into a creed of works that require mercy not grace and so each one is still under the condemnation of the law whether Moses' or natural which leads to death without mercy. By claiming he is the last prophet ensures that his word cannot be overcome.

Were the millions allowed to read for themselves the wonderful grace of God in Jesus Christ, I doubt very much that they would remain within that system. But of course we all know the penalties of applying freedom to the brain in that respect. Oh, I know how sincere they are but one can be sincerely wrong and they are sincerely wrong.

If God is not omniscient then He is not God.
