Miracles are like eating at McDonald’s. Just when you think you’re done, you discover a few more fries and a pack of ketchup at the bottom of the bag.

I hear you! I’m a cradle Catholic and some days I just go “hmmmm 🤔”. I think that one of the reasons you are feeling this way is because you want to have control. And don’t misunderstand that. Just when I think I’m in control of something, something comes along and screws it up. I am constantly having to remind myself to Let Go and Let God. And just give it to Him. I breathe better after that knowing that I am not the boss, so to speak! 🙂
 
Research WRAL news, about a hospital camera catching an angel going into a dying pts room, and pt was healed from death. Her person was born w handicaps that continued after recovering

Why hasn’t God performed any miracles on camera? We have billions of devices and not one single miracle is captured?
Miracles are not the norm, they are the exception. They are rare, and always have been. Miracles are not something we need. If nothing miraculous happens ever again, that is OK.
Why are there no miracles like there were in the Bible?
Because that time has passed. The miracles of Jesus in the Bible were meant for the Jews of that time in connection with the prophesies of the Messiah. The miracles of the early Church were confirmation of the power and authority of Jesus through the Apostles. Again, meant for the Jews of that day and time for a specific purpose.
Why have no modern people had a limb grow back?
No ancient people did either. I’m not sure why this is important.
Oh God doesn’t perform the same types of miracles anymore? Must be free will!
Not sure where you’ve gathered that argument from, but I don’t really think it’s a good one.

Jesus performed miracles during his ministry for a specific purpose. His Apostles and disciples did for the same reason. Through the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit, sometimes God does allow miraculous things to happen. This is rare.

It is not so that people will believe. It is not to attract unbelievers.
Is it possible we are just looking for confirmation of what we believe?
Yes, people certainly look for confirmation of what they believe. Those people aren’t the ones who receive miraculous signs. Jesus told us that those sorts of signs were worthless because the people who receive them still don’t believe. Blessed are they who have not seen but believe.
 
These sorts of internet rumors are not what someone seeking rational belief needs.
 
Limb growing back.

The Miracle of Calanda is one of the more well-documented miracles:


Yes, there are people who claim it did not happen. There are also people who claim we never went to the moon and that 9/11 was an “inside job”.
 
You’re just asking for 1. material proof of a non-material thing where 2. the supposed proof could readily be claimed as a fake.

I’m not trying to be ugly. But if you really think about it, what you’re looking for is nonsensical.
 
I beg your pardon. This is a visible film from a security camera in a hospital, that was reported on WRAL news. It is true. Do you think miracles stopped? I’m sorry.

Unless the event has been approved by the local Catholic Bishop or the Holy See, it is not verified.
 
Camera is perishable device thats changes versions and actuality. This is sickness. Angels not routined by materiial goods.
 
So basically you’re looking for information that would confirm the supernatural to you. How could you determine the difference between a superior technology over the supernatural? Everything you listed here can be performed by superior technologically advanced culture. How would you be able to distinguish between the two?

Free-will: if you believe in the devil, it had all the justification it needed to believe the deity existed and it’s powers and it still choose to not have a relationship with it. Knowing someone exists does not mean you are necessarily required to have a relationship with it. Relationships go both ways. The religious are implying that if a deity presented itself that they feel that they could not have a choice in worshiping this. Probably because it does not occur to them that they can be deists and still not have a relationship with it since they are wanting to appease the genie in the room to solve their fear of death and living in a bad environment issues. But I could be wrong here. However, it is not in the bone for me to worship anyone or anything. I find the idea of worship repugnant. Relationships, every day, have to be earned through our constant maintenance of the relationship. It is not to be granted just because of your power or title. Heaven comes across to me as a celestial north korea, so I’d be fine not going there.
