Can Christians command mountains to move?

Carefull !!!! The Elect can do just that !!!

They never had them to start with.

Ive yet to see a miracle or healing let alone mountains flying around.

But talking about it sells books..and selling books makes money.

Its all about the money.

Thread: God still working miracles, Jesus heals deaf girl!

This is where the phrase "move mountains" comes from.

Are Christians just lazy now or do they secretly have this power but hate to brag about it?

Thread: Very ill little girl, sees and describes Jesus and angels, shortly afterwards, she and her Mom is completely healed!

If just one mountain was moved. Just think of all the people that would be saved through this miracle.

The whole world could be redeemed by just one act of a sovereign God.

No one has faith ... Actual faith . No one ...

How convenient.

Of course Christians can do that!!!!

The question remains if the mountain will act upon that command.

respect the mountain...

So God is a bulldozer?

I mean, we are capable of moving mountains... not by telepathy though. Takes some hard work with some heavy machinery...

How odd that you ask that question.

Not only can they, they have, and they have been ordered to do so by Muslims standing by to slaughter them if the mountain did not move.

It rose up enough for daylight to be seen under the mountain and prevented the slaughter, in fact the Fatimid muslim leader who had commanded it converted on the spot to Christianity.

He spent the rest of his life in a church cellar, hiding from his fellow muslims who wanted to execute him for converting.

This happened in the 10th century in Cairo.
Muslims, in their ongoing persecution of the Coptic Christians who were in Egypt for centuries before islamic imperialism arrived,
faced a test devised to disprove Christianity, the verse that says if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains.

The mountain selected was one of the Moquattam hills in and near Cairo.

The Copts asked for three days of fasting to prepare, and selected a poor, religious shoemaker to ask the mountain to move.
He did so with thousands of muslims armed with swords to begin the genocide of the Coptics if he failed.

It moved.
The shoemaker is remembered as St. Simon the Tanner.

Certainly the Coptic Christian population of Cairo is no safer on December 9, 2012, for they are still being hunted and killed.

But they survived that day.

They shave down mountains to build shopping malls blessed by the all mighty.

Christians don't have any power because it's a religion that was started by Constantine in the 3rd century.

If you are in the Israelite faith, the same faith that written in the Bible - not christianity. Then you will have the power also.


I haven't moved a physical mountains but I have casted out devils, and healed people in His name.

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

I was a christian for MANY years and had no power and thought I was doing right. Now that I follow the Holy Bible as it is written. YHWH hears me.

it's a proverbial mountain.
in other words, if you have a huge challenge in your life, with faith you can tell it to move.

it is a play on words about how faith can move anything.

Got a mustard seed?

Why did the evil one try to delete Matthew 17:21?

So that "we" wouldn't know how to cast out stubborn devils.

cause the bible is more fictional than the lord of the rings

Coptics were told the Good News by the apostle Mark, within YEARS to DECADES of the ressurection.

Not centuries.

Some people see them as close to hebraic, they observe Passover,require circumcision, keep many fasts Jews would also keep, and in many ways are quite different from any Christians you have ever heard of.

Have a blessed seventh day!

This is Beeches - forgot to log in.

I myself am a Messianic Jew.

No, but they can sin lethally. Better so, isn´t it.

May we overcome this world, either in the flesh or in the Spirit; by the word of their test-i-mony and the blood the Lamb.

But the main category for me is "believer"

I believe in God, and the Meshiach, and the Ruach HaKodesh.

WHOA! This is the 1st day, the Sabbath was yesterday.

So only Christians can have that much faith and desire to move mountains?

yes..

You can believe all you want, even the Ha Satan believes, but you have to physically live by the book by keeping the commandments and such if you truly believe.

Faith without works is dead.

You're making a molehill out of a mountain now... ;-)
