While you continue searching, be aware that the main mission of Jesus Christ on earth was never to perform miracle but to reconcile lost sheep to its Creator. Get this from me... and it must be the primary focus of any truthful Christian, sending back the world and the worldly to God's kingdom. Other missions or efforts are adventures.

I like their style. If all Christians can be devoted to preach the gospel, Muslim would have all been converted to Christianity.

Did you know? While Jesus performed miracles, many of the pharisees believe it was stage manage?
Jesus' case is differnt, he went to people. Until some one goes to mortuaries and hospitals where those miracles are needed. Before I beleive, also, TB Joshua who heals all manner of infirmities did not heal the Hausa people he called together for a feast, and they are all polio victims, he should have healed them, not giving them rice and televising it for all to see, what they needed most was and still is to be able to stand on their own and not depending on anybody for anything. The list goes on and on.

we are saying the same thing na....the primary focus to Jehovah's witnesses is not healing but the disciple making work Jesus commissioned at Matthew 28:19,20

meanwhile check Luke 6:19 and Matthew 14:34,35 to start with

Jehovah witness are evidence based people. They try to use science to explain everything.

God doesn't work like that, God says believe and you shall see.

Jehovahs witness says "See then believe" they do not believe anything unless there is a scientific explanation for it
always saywhat u know of it's science that does not believe in God that they follow? Be guided accordingly

I just got to know of this yesterday.

They believe that the power to perform miracles by Christians ended with the first century Christians.
I'm still surprised.
theybelieve in another Jesus and not the one christains believe also what they believe about the Jesus of christains is totally wrong. So they dont believe in hell but except any of them repents they are hell bound!

Whether they believe in it or not, the true fact is that most modern day miracles are scams. Any pastor that knows he can perform miracles like in the so-called olden days should go to the hospitals and mortuaries where there are enough infirm and dead people awaiting their 'miracle'. Nonsense.
My brother sense too much... Most miracles are scam.. If they are real, nobody for dey hospital or mortuary...
No one should quote me cause my God is not a partial God...

Well, I got your point clearly there and as well, your scriptural references. I think you paraphrased the scripture but I was referring to the literary insinuation of the statement.
More importantly, the mission and vision of Christ is to make the Kingdom 'whole' as much as possible and has handed over the mission to the first Christians for continuity, from generations to generations till eternity.
A clarification, it was not stated anywhere that we can not heal the infirmed or the broken ones as necessary in as much its done through faith in the most high God and the belief in His existence.
If there is no need for healing or miracle, the need and essence of a scripture like: 1 peter 2:21. Literarily, that statement, 'by His stripes, you are healed' is an extraordinary and supernatural situation, looking at it from the angle of: beating A and B is healed. Its a Miraculous Healing!
That being said, there is no scripture that says we shouldn't expect healing from God through faith or, that God can not do miracle again like the early days but the only condemnation and what Christians should avoid is temptation or prompting God for miracles; playing bait for miracle from God and giving Him conditions of 'miracle' manifestation for strong faith. All these stances are condemned by God in different times and places in the bible.
On a final note, miracle or healing from God is still in existence, and the proof is that he still uses people among us to communicate others, and by so doing, there is grace and abilities he gives to these people as a crutch to their endeavour to grow His kingdom most especially in a situation of a broken heart.

Re: Why Do Jehovah's Witnesses Not Believe In Miracles? by FirmTR(m): 1:43pm On Mar 11, 2018
A friend of mine (Jehovas withness) said that miracles and prophets are no more, that it ended in the old testament. Then I asked what about Jesus and the apostles, didn't they perform miracles and prophesied.

Even after Jesus death, it still continues because
Jesus didn't say there will be no more miracle, He didn't say there will be no more prophets, He never said goodbye. Jesus said I will be with you always.

Some people are saying that if there's still miracle, there won't be challenges of any kind. The truth is that even at the time of Chist, there were still challenges. There were sick, poor, blind, lame, barren, less privilege. But that doesn't mean miracle were not performed

Though I don't despise the belief of anyone because everybody is entitled to theirs.
For me, I believe in miracle for His ways and thought is not like ours.

Are you sure they are true Christians? When massive alcoholic consumption and fornication is their middle name?
While other 'christian' denominations are known for their holiness and righteousness?

your comment pose that you lack intellectual foresight towards how we’re not to generalize that few people’s attitude does not justify all of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ at large.

Did Jesus go to the mortuaries or memorial tombs to raise people up from the dead? Did he go to healing homes to raise heal people? In most cases of his healings, people when to him... Did you never read?

I think my point is, even if Jesus were to be around today to heal people, some people would still not believe just as it was in his time, you included.

There is no religion as divided as Christianity. Always arguing amongst themselves whose denomination is better and condemning others who are probably better than them. I like the witnesses though, mostly because everyone else hates them.

The irony of it all. Christianity is founded on Christ who preached and wanted his followers to do same, but the only denomination preaching is hated by everyone (including other 'followers of Christ') for preaching. cheesy

I don't believe in those scam religious miracles either. I hate how heartless, mindless and petty the world religions paint God.

one major reason why this country is bleeped. A child was sick..They didnt take her to hospital. They brought out bible. Assuming the baby stopped breathing now, they will take the baby to hospital and blame the doctor that certified him dead saying they should have given the baby oxygen. If such a baby is sick abroad do u think they will start with psalm.91 when they had good healthcare. Continue deceiving yourself if this is what you call miracle.

It doesn't matter what people believe. Fact is, miracle doesn't happen anywhere except in nollywood movies and church dramas stage managed by pastors. If miracle is real, Ayefele would have been able to walk a long time ago and Cobhams won't still be blind by now.
thats not true because even in Jesus time he did not heal everybody. upon
all the miracle he did there were still
blind and lame people
