1 | Are miracles for today? | 1 Cor 13:8 | New Creature | 132896 | ||
By the way, each time God takes a wife abuser, a drunkard, or a drug addict, and changes them into a born again child of God, that is a miracle, and an awesome display of God's power to change lives. When the child of God looks into the word of God, and sees the Son of God, he is changed into the image of God for the glory of God. Praise God for his life giving power. |

2 | Are miracles for today? | 1 Cor 13:8 | Country Girl | 132925 | ||
I can only counter with what I know to be truth. Wife abuse, drunkedness and drug addiction can all be corrected (cured if you prefer) WITHOUT guidance from God's Word, just some good guidance which I'll admit is usually based on Biblical principles but the focus is NOT Christ as Lord or God as a the Perfect Forgiver. Similarly a human being can about God's Word and respond in a very reasonable manner and simply obey His commands and become His child for the rest of his/her life. Clearly most people would agree No Miracle there. But let's stick to the Bible for true pictures of God actuated miracles. I'm emphasizing events so supernatural that the whole world (or at least the majority) would agree that it could not have happened without a supernatural being from some other sphere of life not know on earth. That's the real essense of a Bible time miracle so again I say miracles are suggestive of God's actual physical and visible blessing on such an event. That's why we can't let anyone downgrade this definition. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

3 | Can obedience produce the new birth? | 1 Cor 13:8 | New Creature | 132939 | ||
Country Girl says: "Similarly a human being can about God's Word and respond in a very reasonable manner and simply obey His commands and become His child for the rest of his/her life. Clearly most people would agree No Miracle there." Not only are you incorrect of your undersatnding of the new birth, your entirely missing the point. The new birth which is recorded in the Bible, is a supernatural act of God upon a individual dead in trespasses and sin. Your also mistaken to say that obedience produces the new birth. The new birth is God actuated. Are you attempting to say that being born again is not Biblical? If thats the case then you should reveiew the following Scriptures 1 Pet. 1:3 NASB Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has CAUSED US TO BE BORN AGAIN to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, BORN, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but OF GOD. John 1:13 EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN of water and OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. John 3:5 John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT is spirit. |

4 | Can obedience produce the new birth? | 1 Cor 13:8 | james210 | 132944 | ||
Ephesians 2 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. God's grace saves us (v8). *Obedience does not (v9).* We are obedient to God after we are 'created in Christ Jesus' (born again - John 3:3) because we love Him (v10, John 14:15). |
