[@topfueljunkie100]

An excellent point which I wish Frank would have brought up (and I know he already knows this) and one that I think answers the doubts from the skeptic even better is that we can sidestep the entire question of "what about the miracles of other religions?" by simply pointing out the exclusivity inherent in the Christian religion. Jesus Christ claims to be the ONLY WAY TO GOD and, in fact, ONE WITH that same God, not to mention that he claims to alone be "the truth and the life" (John 14:6) So he claims to be God himself and the ONLY God there is. So right there, even if we have miraculous supernatural things truly occurring in other religions, it stands to reason, that if Christ's claims are true (proven thru various means such as the resurrection, etc), then that automatically excludes ALL OTHER religions from offering anyone any hope of some sort of pleasant afterlife, meeting God, going to heaven, being true themselves in offering a different God, etc So it does not matter whether the skeptic of Christianity can prove miraculous things occurring in other religions, so long as the Christian claims concerning Christ remains true and haven't been aptly defeated by the skeptic, then it follows that all other religions are false except for Christianity. As a side note, from a Christian perspective, there could indeed seem to be miracles occurring in other religions with no natural explanation. This could simply be the work of demonic forces as we know from scripture that they do such fake miracles to deceive others. So we needn't automatically assume we have to DISprove miracles of other religions, because, given my above argument, Christianity would remain the only true religion despite the occurrence of miracles in other religions. This is why I believe the above argument is a stronger one than what Frank offered (certainly no discredit meant to him) because Frank's answer could be problematic if one can prove a miracle(s) as happening in another religion, whereas the above argument is immune to any such attack no matter whether a miracle occurred in another religion or not.

So basically - if a Christian sees a miracle it is true- don’t question how the the “miracle” could have happened naturally; if someone from another religion has a miracle question it a little and then dismiss it

[@chiragrulze]

Satan can also do miracles, seen throughout the bible (2 Corinthian 11:14). I have done many supernatural miracles. Is the miracle selfless? If not, it is from satan. For example, I could go and lay hands on the sick and they would heal in Jesus's name, but could never heal myself. All glory to Jesus. Selfless miracles = Godly miracles. Selfish miracles = satanic miracles

[@Ian-dn6ld]

I hope you still see this. Idk about other denominations, but the Roman Catholic Church actually tries to disprove the miracle as having naturally occurred first. Each incident officially recognized by the Church goes under scrutiny from outside non-religious institutions or universities. Sometimes psychological examinations are done. In the case of stigmati for example, or people where bloody holes appear in the hands and feed (usually someone of deep faith), the person is kept under watchful eye to make sure they’re not self-harming or keeping the holes from healing up. In Lourdes,France where Mary appeared to a 14yr old girl a number of times back in 1858, though around 7000 healed cases have been claimed from those who have made the pilgrimage to the spot and have touched the waters that sprung up from where the encounters occurred after Mary directed her to drink from the muddy waters “meant for sinners,” (that’s an event you might find intriguing), only 70 have been confirmed as true bonafide unexplainable miracles. Many of the earlier healings lack the correct documentation for scientific review which means more could, but as of now, 70 is the official number of cases scrutinized, unexplainable, and sudden cures of things incurable.

I'm a Christian, but I think you're setting people up to be deceived if you say that other religions aren't capable of miracles. What about when Pharaoh's magicians duplicated Moses' miracles in Exodus 7:22 through the use of secret arts? What about in Revelation 13:13 where it says that the 2nd Beast performed great signs and was able to make fire come from heaven? "Because of the signs it was given to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived those who dwell on the earth." The difference is that unlike the Holy Spirit, their miracles are limited and finite, but they're still within the realm of what people would consider "supernatural", which is what gives them the ability to deceive people who think that only Christ is capable of miracles.

[@MrAndyGA]

That's a really good question and one that I've thought about in depth; until I came to the realisation that the Pharaohs were in fact pagans. They were idol worshipers (think Isis, Horus etc..). Their entire belief system was based on an idol religion; which is in turn based fundamentally on Satanism.

Hi frank. I stumble onto you today and after watching a few videos I subscribe God bless you brother may the Lord strengthen your wisdom and may you continue to help interpret Christianity to those who have question "fight the good fight"

[@SealedByTruth]

Contending for validity of a religion based on whether or not there is supernatural power being displayed is irrelevant. The reason why I say that is because satan can perform miracles as stated by God in the biblical account. Satan can also transform himself into other beings and therefore has the capacity to decieve with both power of the miraculous and visual stimulation. I'm not saying any thing negative about Frank because I love him and think he is brilliant in apologetics. However his claim that other religions do not have valid miracles is false. Which is not to say they are equivalent to Christianity because they are not. I said all of that because our faith in Christ should not be grounded in the miracles He did (sounds sketchy) but our faith should be grounded in trust in His WORDS and His authority, without evidence. Why do I make that claim? I make that claim because Jesus Himself said many things relating to it but my two favorite are these: 1.) Blessed are those who believe in Me even thought they have never SEEN me. (That is a reference to satan's manifestations of power and miracles) 2.) My Sheep hear MY VOICE and will not follow another.(His VOICE and words hold more weight than seeing Him and His miracles.) Now I also think it would help if I clarify that I am a bible believing Christian and I believe in and walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Not like average western charismatics) I've seen hundreds of healings while praying with people in grocery stores, bus stops, places of employment and etc, and I believe those amazing miracles have added to my faith, but they are not what my faith is grounded on. I hope I have given a good explanation. Like Frank always shares that God said with His own words that He did the greatest miracle of all, God created the heavens and the earth. Even though I can't see God physically, I believe His words which lead me to see Him spiritually everyday. ❤ Much love 😊

Not quite sure I understand the logic of that statement. In concept. In theory reincarnation is a moment in time, generally scrubbed from one's memory, mostly. And then not experienced again until your next death. Hell is a place of eternal final placement ,void of all things God. A place of absolutely no life, no "light" and no love. And life on earth is nothing in comparison to the concept of the agony of existence without life. People from.different times of our history, or people today of different cultures and exsistances only wish they could have been so lucky. Mental illness and the pain of reincarnation. Really? 1 in 4 people suffer from some sort of mental illness. And do you know what most all of them have in common. They believe their alone. Mental illness isn't all that uncommon anymore. Infant it's so common, I'm not convinced that it's just not another label or a typing built to suppress the mind that much more. When did we just stop calling it depression? And when was depression a new thing? Walk the streets of any city and look for the lost souls. Who are people in so much pain everyday at the thought of living life, they can't wait until their next hi so they can forget the world that much more once again. No I'm sorry. But I don't think we have a Mental illness problem, I don't even think we have a depression problem. I just think, that we live in a world where mankind has gotten too good ... and too comfortable with not growing up and feeling sorry for themselves is just the norm. It's our way of life. It's like using ur zodiac to instantly try to figure people out instead of getting to know them in the first place. It's excuses and it always has been. Everyone experiences pain and at one time or another everyone experiences depression. The difference is what you do with it. Do we use it as an excuse? Or move on and get on with our lives?..

As a polytheist, I would like to say that it is possible for multiple different religions to have their own miracles; one of the main flaws of monotheism is that it applies special pleading when it comes to miracles, as they see miracles that occur in their religion as confirming it, but have to come up with all kinds of excuses to explain away the miracles of other religions. Lots of religions of have stories of miracles; Shamanistic religions attribute healing powers to shamans via the spirits, the hurricanes that destroyed the Mongol armies who invaded Japan were attributed as miracles from the kami, the Roman statesman Marcus Terentius Varro theorized that diseases were caused by tiny organisms ala bacteria and viruses, despite the fact that the technology to see and confirm these things hadn't been invented yet, which one could interpret as a miracle from one or more of the Roman gods.

If you look into the gods and miracles of other religions...I mean REALLY look into them, you will see that their gods and their miracles were of demons. Their miracles would require sacrifices of virgins, babies, people cutting themselves, doing drugs, having sex, being intoxicated for or during their "religious" ceremonies. If you have depictions of their gods, eg: Egyptian, Sumerian, Hindu, etc, they resembled fallen angelic beings taking shape in the form of things or animals that the people worshipped. Early man had high intelligence in things lost to us but we also have intelligence not privily to them. So if an Egyptian feared the crocodile or alligator as some dirty (for whatever reason) the fallen angel would come as a human with a crocodile head. The christian God doesn't require such sacrifices. Only the sacrifice of one's will of self destruction unto the will of life through Christ. That's deity not dirty...the spell check switched it on me.

Also there's a vast difference in the Character of Jesus before the crucifixion in Mark's account and The Gospel According to Luke. One speaks of a forsaken character and the other speaks of a character totally aware that God is on his side. The conventional method would be to jam the stories but that's not how the stories are supposed to be read since they were not written at the same but decades later.

I was fairly impressed with Frank until I watched him with Christopher Hitchens. I was disappointed to watch him swallowed up by anger and frustration and argue with such emotion. I’m not anything close to an Atheist, on the contrary I strive to live true Christianity. A lot of what this guy says is solid, but beware of what he discounts. Beware of his “logical proofs” because they tend to be utterly besides the point. Faith is the principle from which you find the Power of God. It can be tested with reason and stand up to intellectual scrutiny. About those “Gold Plates” and Mormonism. I’d recommend people look into that a much closer. Frank tries to trivialize them in a fashion similar to someone claiming “I can make bread and catch fish too!” Such an argument when understood in context is absurd. The object is not the miracle. Taking miracles on a case by case basis requires understanding the case. Read the testimonies of the witnesses to the plates. Pray and ask God and receive revelation for yourself. Contrary to what this man says, the canon is not closed. If so there is a great flaw in the scriptures because they say no such thing. YOU can receive revelation and God calls prophets today.

He evidentially hasn't read the much into the Islamic faith because it was said that Mohammed split the moon. I can’t think of a more spectacular miracle claim, yet Frank doesn’t seem to be aware of that one. What is evident is that the standards of evidence are not applied uniformly across the board when there are debates about topics which relate to theism vs theism. Frank may state that every miracle claim should be judged on its own merits, but he has essentially already given a blanket dismissal of the claims of other religions. However, he will always give an impassioned case for the authenticity of the miracle claims in the bible. When you consider his reasons for dismissing the other miracle claims consider the following; The Gospels are based on the conflicting accounts of 4 anonymous Authors written many years after the purported event that revolve around the life of Jesus Christ.

[@610huskymoto]

I agree with you. I don’t thank he is trying to prove anything to people that don’t believe in the Bible. I think he is just trying to reassure the people that do. I wonder how much Frank is worth?🤔

[@jimbob4484]

@@610huskymoto That's a fair point. I mentioned the inconsistency in how standards of evidence are applied, but we can also say there is a clear difference in how a theistic hypothesis is proposed when compared to the hypothesis that may be proposed as part of a scientific experiment. When we look a God hypothesis, the presumption is essentially that the proposition is fundamentally true. In arguing the case for the God hypothesis, the fundamental goal is not to provide evidence for this claim but more rather the goal is to try and poke holes in any competing naturalistic explanations. All the evidence that most theists need is in the good book so all that is left is to focus on the competing world view. I think Frank is smart guy and is an engaging speaker. He is confident and well drilled and certainly appears to make a convincing case for people who wouldn't be well versed in the scientific, philosophical and theological topics which underpin these debates. That said, fundamentally much of what Franks says is some variation of a God of the Gaps argument/and or a Red Herring fallacy or its also just not reasonable to draw the conclusions he makes based on the premises he gives. Even if one concedes that the Universe did indeed need a creator there no evidence to suggest that such a creator would be a conscious personal creator that is all knowing, all powerful and benevolent and that is specifically the God he believes in. The cause and effect argument requires special pleading because a major assumption needs to be made that the creator didn’t need a creator themselves and it completely ignores the fact that the laws of physics break down in a singularity so in that sense there is no reason to believe that we can invoke causality in way we do in the universe with defined laws of nature. Added to that we simply don’t know what preceded the Big Bang. Any suggestions to the contrary are conjecture. Fine tuning falls over in several different ways, not least because all it proves is that the Universe wouldn’t have formed if the constants of nature had been any different. It’s still an assumption to claim that the universe must have been created specifically for life because of this apartment fine tuning. Using the same logic, you could also conclude that the Universe was fine tined for black holes because they exist and are abundant throughout the universe. If the constants underpinning the laws of nature were changed in the smallest degrees, then black holes wouldn’t have been possible. Therefore, the Universe was fine tuned for Blackholes!! The logic doesn’t stand up and that’s before we even consider that the Universe is utterly unhospitable towards life. Throughout the entire Universe we only know of one planet that can support life and even then, everything on this planet is trying to kill us. Not to mention that life evolved to suit the conditions on earth and life will only be permitted on Earth for an infinitesimal spec of the life time of the Universe. Arguments in relation to the complexity of life requiring a designer is usually a combination of a God of the Gaps argument, drawing false analogies and completely ignoring evolution by natural selection. I think the morality is probably the weakest of all arguments for a God because it presents a Begging the Question fallacy. A God needs to be proven to exist in order to prove that an objective morality exists and so invoking a moral argument can’t be used as evidence for the existence of God. It is circular reasoning at best. Any arguments over Consciousness, Logic, reality and existence are not much more than Red Herrings to distract from the real argument. Even if science and/or philosophy had nothing useful to say about any of these topics this still wouldn’t be enough of a reason to invoke Divine Creation.

There were swords armor and even a dead horse found in Carlsbad California which did not have horse shoes on it. Spanish shoed the horses. So this was pre Spanish. The location of nahom in the Book of Mormon was located my name as a burial sight. Directly east of nahom where Ismael was buried there is a location that was just as nephi describes as bountiful there was lots of green in this location with iron ore that is easily obtain from the side of a mountain which nephi used to make tools to build a ship.

[@edvardzv5660]

Reading the books of the New Testament, we possibly asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years? The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist. Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on KZbin. The video reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World. Watching this video will give hope to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely.

Sorry, but... THAT is a lame answer to the question asked. "You have to evaluate them on a case by case basis and when you do that they pale in comparison.....". Do you KNOW what miracles are claimed by other religions to even evaluate? They're a lot of the same types of miracles: Levitation, healing, raising from dead, etc. In fact, unlike the stories passed down via hearsay there's video evidence of miracles today where you can see someone floating or people being healed. Now, a person can skeptically say those are faked, but in terms of actual evidence, it certainly doesn't "pale in comparison".
