How does the mysterious healing of an illness or the earth standing still for a day show the intervention of an infinite power has occured. There is a limit to the amount of control on causality employed in any miracle, it only takes so much power to to heal someone. Why should an act of limited intervention show that an infinite agent exists?
Sorry, I just now read read this. this is from the same link provided earlier.
"(Ephesians 1:11). “He works all things after the council of His own will,†Romans 8:28, “We know that God causes all things to work together for good…†Proverbs 16:33 says, “The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.†In other words, when you cast lots it may appear to bring forth random results, but in fact, God controls every roll of the dice and every flip of the coin...
Scripture speaks of Christ “Upholding all things by the Word of His power†(Hebrews 1:3). And we are told that, “He is before all things and by Him all things consist.†Consistently, Scripture teaches us that God is in control of every atom and every quark in the universe.
When Jesus said, “No sparrow would fall to the ground apart from the Father;†When He said, “All the hairs on our head are numbered,†He was saying, “God governs those things by His providence.†By the way, that wasn’t a point about God’s omniscience. It isn’t that God knows how many hairs you got--it is that He numbers the hairs on your head. It isn’t that He knows when the sparrow falls--it’s that he determines these things. He’s in control. God governs these things by His loving providence."
It is really not the question to ask about a limited intervention.
Romans 1:22-21For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
John came not eating and not drinking, preaching hell fire and they called him crazy. Jesus came eating and drinking offering rest and they condemmed Him also.
Whether we come preaching the wedding or the funeral, nothing will satisfy those seeking miracles. They only want to disagree with everything. this illistration is speaking of children playing "wedding" and playing "funeral".
Matthew 11:16-30 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, And saying: 'We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not lament.' For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon.' The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children."
Then He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent: "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Hades; for if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you."
At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
