Signs follow if you're looking to Him, and *all* your faith is in Him. Not looking for a sign to prove your faith. But looking to Him to increase your knowledge of Him. ('an evil generations seeks after signs', 'seek first the kingdom and all these things will be added' - Jesus' words showing there are two kinds of hearts regarding signs).

[@zalapski9399]

The Bible clearly states that we have gifts of the Spirit- prophecy, speaking in tongues, discernment, etc. Not sure why some Christians choose not to believe this.

[@nw6198]

The problem is people focus on this as if it's a central doctrine, or one of the most important things, and it's not. Paul tried really hard in Romans 12 to make it clear that we shouldn't be focused on those things. It's like when snake handlers get focused on that single verse and form a whole movement around it. Sure that verse is in there, but it's not meant to be made into something like a core practice. It's just something that, if it happens, it happens. Folks just need to focus on their relationships with Christ. Focusing on anything else is putting the cart before the horse.

He is in us first for fellowship with God Himself - relationship, personal christian growth in all humility, increasing knowledge of God, cultivating the fruits of the Spirit (which are way more important than signs, but unfortunately go amiss in most believers lives). Love for eg. is a fruit that is greater than all things but Christians who seek signs are generally self absorbed and unloving... You tell by the fruit the state and posture of the heart.

The comments section here is a good example of the neverending inconsistency of Christianity. One group is convinced that miracles happen weekly at their church - and if you aren't having the same experience, then something is wrong with your Christian Jedi powers and by proxy your very eternal destination. Another group is convinced that it's the heart that is number one, and chasing after miracles is just a sign of shallow thinking. Both groups quote scripture all day long. Both will insist that the other is at least partially wrong.

[@Theo_Skeptomai]

Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as suspending any acknowledgment as to the reality of any particular god until sufficient evidence is introduced. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the reality of any god._* And here is the evidence as to why I currently hold to such a position. Below are 10 facts I must consider when evaluating the claim made by theists that a god exists. To be clear, these are not premises for an argument concluding there to be no gods. These are simply facts I take into account when evaluating the claim. 1. I personally have never observed a god. 2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god. 3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing or able to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity. 4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which also employed sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that a god(s) exists. 5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain either fallacies or false or unsubstantiated premises. 6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon. 7. Several proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._ 8. I have never experienced the presence of a god through intercession of angels, divine revelation, the miraculous act of divinity, or any occurrence of a supernatural event. 9. Every phenomena that I have ever observed has *_emerged_* from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance, system, or being) that was created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously came into existence by the solitary volition of a deity. 10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable. ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of a god. I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Atheism is simply withholding such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. *_It is natural, rational, and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstantiated claims, especially extraordinary ones._* I welcome any cordial response. Peace.

If you crave high emotions instead of a Spirit lead life that guides you in denying the heart and the flesh, you may just want to go home and stay in scripture and in prayer until you realize that it's The Lord that brings about true signs, wonders and miracles.
