Why aren't there any more miracles?

I don't call that a miracle.

The only one here suggesting it's a miracle is you, in your quest to nullify my testimony.

That prophecy was made before the age of prophecy ended. Try to keep up.

Would you say that this assertion is substantiated by your own authority and expertise in this matter?

No.

An empty tomb where a giant stone blocking it was rolled away, while being guarded by Roman soldiers, would be grandstanding, wouldn't it? Jesus ascending into the sky where potentially thousands could've seen a man flying would also be grandstanding, wouldn't it?

When Elijah called down fire from the sky to prove the god of the Bible was real, wouldn't that be grandstan ...[text shortened]... randstanding? The Bible makes it clear that God/Jesus have no problem with showy displays of power.

Yes, but "grandstanding" is not the main purpose.

No.

What motivates you to make the assertion then? You are, after all, talking about the destruction of billions and billions of men, women and children by the God you believe in.

Seems like an odd thing to take upon yourself to predict, especially when you concede that your religious beliefs confer upon you no authority or expertise.

I would hesitate to call it "prediction".

OK, then what motivates you to make the assertion, when you concede that your religious beliefs confer upon you no authority or expertise?

Jesus performed miracles in front of crowds of people, the Apostles performed miracles in front non-believes, and even Old Testament figures like Elijah performed miracles in front of non-believers.

So why aren't there miracles today?

Yes, I know there are "testimonies" of miracles; but why aren't they being performed in front of non-believers like in Biblical times?

that's because there weren't any cell phone cameras !!

Prophecy didn’t stop happening. There has been a constant string of prophets, from Mani to Mary Baker Eddy, to Joseph Smith, right up to the present. The Church just stopped accepting them as genuinely divinely inspired. Nothing to do with convenience.
