Usual nonsense arguments...how many amputees did Christ restore?
So your faith is by sight, you will believe only if you see.
Our faith is in God's word.
Bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not all His benefits
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities
Who healeth all thy diseases
Who satisfieth thy soul with good things
"A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall be no sign given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah" Matthew 16:4
The sign of the prophet Jonah is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The sign of the prophet Jonah is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
There's a difference between seeking after a sign, and signs and wonders FOLLOWING them that believe. Peter said, Yeshua was approved among them by signs and wonders. Timothy said to study to show thyself approved. Peace

You guys don't even understand the new covenant.
Idle talk.

"Unless I see...unless I thrust my hand into His side"
Thomas gets a bad press for when the women first testified that He was risen NONE of the disciples believed.
Many good Christians today will not believe that Jesus Christ is the same today as He was in bible days.
God's word is "do not be disbelieving but be believing..." reach out and touch and pray in Jesu's name, if you are sick call for the elders of the church to come and anoint you...do not be disbelieving but be believing"
The Pharisees asked for a sign.....they had seen His miracles
By your own admission you haven't read the Bible, but not knowing that people were gathered in Jerusalem for the day of pentecost is further proof of your complete ignorance.
Where did I say that I have not read the Bible?

I think that you are full of hot air.
No, no, don't kid yourself YOU walk by sight for you say "unless I SEE I will not believe"
We believe the word....."who healeth all thine diseases"

We have to be careful not to put "walk by faith not sight" in a category that avoids proof or indicators or evidence. There are tons of it in the NT (please see my past this morning on the sighting of the 500).
By the time this expression is used in 2 Corinthians it has to do with Judaism. Judaism still expects a theocratic messiah and is dangerously close to falling for impostor ones over in Israel. That is a kingdom which is seen--or desired to be seen. The Christian's Messiah, though he did manifest in history, is not resulting in a theocratic power on earth, but there is no less power to his kingdom, because the Gospel is a solid, compelling message which faith "sees". Paul appeals to all individuals in all level of life to obey God because Christ reigns and will be the person through whom this world is judged on the last day.

Totton, don't just take a random verse to try to "prove" your point.
You have stated that you have not read the entire Bible....care to say you have?
In answer to the second try reading the first three lines of your post.
In answer to the last....ad hominem yet again.
You have no proof that God is doing miracles today.
At the blink of an eye, Jesus can restore blind eyes and severed limbs.
But he is not doing that today.
I am living proof that He is doing miracles today. Fortunately for me, your evil heart of unbelief was not around to deny the Word of HaShem, or I would have been dead decades ago.
As for eyes; I have another miracle for you. How do you explain needing reading glasses for 12 years, then suddenly your eyes (at age 59) are not only 20/20 again, but BETTER THAN THAT? I know my eye doctor had no explanation for it, but I do. Peace

How about the 10's of thousands of committed Christians that are suffering from cancer and a host of other diseases. Where is their miracle? I guess that you must be one of God's special ones or so you say.
