During the video section Mart DeHaan interviewed people on the street in Tiberias. He asked them if they believed in miracles. He concluded: “I sensed in the residents of Tiberias that the ‘miracles’ they believed in would not have been as dramatic as someone turning water into wine or bringing a dead person back to life; yet according to the Gospelnarratives, Jesus displayed an authority and power over nature that had no natural explanation.” Do you agree with the responses of the people interviewed? - Discussion Forum - Artos Academy (BETA)

    Yes and No-I think that it is absolutely a miracle that we live and breath everyday we’re on Earth. We can’t discount that or take that for granted. However, I do think it waters down the gospel and power of God to say that what happened in the Bible can’t or won’t happen today. Isaiah 40:28 says “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom”. We may not physically understand why or how something happened but we can understand what we serve a Creator who reigns above everything on His earth. I’ve seen miracles with my own eyes so it would be arrogant to say God can’t or won’t do them. His heart is and will always be for his people so why would be not still restore sight to the blind, allow the lame to walk, provide food to those who have none, deliver someone from demonic oppression, and so much more. We have to believe that his heart is for us and his ear is always to us-listening for our requests presented to his throne of grace.

    I agree with those that said yes. I believe in miracles too. The Bible says that those who believe in Him will do even greater things than He did.

    I do not agree with the residents of Tiberias because those miracles were supernatural and what has been done God is still able oi perform miracles no matter the times, throughout all the ages of biblical history and in today times which is still being manifested.

    I do agree with some of their responses…. Everyday we experience small miracles but the bigger miracles that are out of nature will be shown to us if it is God’s will to show us. When it is my time, I will choose to believe.

    Truly only God performs miracles. No one before or after Jesus did what only Jesus could do. No human can perform miracles.
