Pursuing belief, miracles, stumbling blocks & Faith

Q: I have been on the fence but actively pursuing God about what I’m believing. Do you think to believe in God and yet believe that a lot of the events that happen back then are illogical? Today we don’t see people coming back from the dead, we don’t see fish feeding 5000 people coming from enough for two, etc. Just because those things don’t happen today doesn’t mean that they didn’t.  It’s just hard to wrap my mind around as it is illogical by today’s standards. Hopefully that makes sense. I’ve been working on belief for a long time and figuring out what I believe and praying about it, but I’m still not sure anybody really hears me when I pray. I am working on these thoughts. Guidance appreciated.  A: Illogical to the unsavrd. BybthatvI kean in general, things from a unsaved persons mind, based on their presupposition, being educated in a atheistic school system, and only focused on the unregenerate mind, being unsaved... man would focus on his foolish intellect and believe...

Only believe what you can see?

That is actually a false dichotomy.   There are many things that we believe in that we cannot see, such as love, justice, and the past. Also our senses can be deceived, so we cannot rely on them exclusively either. Consider this: Do you believe in love? Can you see love ? Do you believe in justice? Can you see justice? Do you believe in the past? Can you see the past? Do you believe in the Wind? Can you see the wind?  If you believe in those things that you cannot see, why can you not also believe in God? We do not need to see something in order to believe in it, we just need to believe in the reasonableness of the evidence of it.  God has already provided that evidence .
