Too often I have heard many a friend state that presence of miracles to prove their belief system is true. For instance, they would pray for a friend or a family member to be healed, and he/she is healed supernaturally. This proves that their point of view is correct, right?
Christianity does not discount the possibility of the supernatural in other faiths
As a Christian, I recognise the possibility of miracles. In the Apostle's Creed, I confess the virgin birth and the resurrection of Jesus.
Therefore, I also do recognise the possibility of the supernatural activities. My point is whether any of such miracles deny the reality of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus.
In other words, miracles of other belief systems by themselves do not lessen the case for Christianity.
The point of Christianity is not too simply perform miracles
One of the evidence of Christianity is the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus.
However, many would claim this point to be able to heal supernaturally or pray in tongues. If that was all we preached, we completely missed the love of God.
The point of Jesus's sacrifice was that he loved us so much, he died for our sins so that we can be reconciled with God. And if we missed that, we will be so much poorer.
