But again you can..

The only reason you haven't is commitment.

As I pointed out, many times God follows the mirical outline.

If you look in the bible at the miricles performed by Christ to indivisuals, you will see this outline I have identified. In that whom ever Christ heals or 'fixes' has tried everything and all but completely given up... That is what makes the miricle so miriclous. Because everyone involved knew that this person's situation was without any recourse or hope. Then God steps in and carries the person out of thier situation.

Many of you ask why doesn't God work miricles now? Because many of you will not faithfully endure a trial long enough to come to the point where their is no other hope or explaination than God saving you from situation.

Again, that is what it means to knock.. To persist in asking and seeking even in the absents of any or all hope. If you can humble yourself enough to do this then God has promised to 'show up.'

What of the faithful who have prayed and begged for his mercy but were denied it? Your point suggests that the reason we have not witnessed any miracles is because we lack the faith to suffer through some trial from which god can save us. I have watched pious people, a couple of the most devout Christians a person could imagine, suffer and ultimately die from cancer. Why were their prayers not answered? Why did god not answer the prayers of the family and community? These were people who truly lived their lives based on biblical teachings and Christian ideology. If god were to intercede in the lives of mere mortals, they would have surely been worthy of divine intervention. Yet, he did not. They both suffered through terrible disease, one dying and then the other living without his wife until his death from the same ailment years later.

These were people who endured and died without receiving an answer or a miracle. They exhausted all medical treatments; only a miracle would have saved them. God never showed up as you say he promised to. Of course, you and others will explain this away. If their cancer had been cured, it would have been a miracle granted by god. Their deaths? Well, the good lord called them home.

It's unbelievable that people can think like this.
