No, only way I might believe in a god is if it contacted me directly. But even then I have a family history chock full of mental health issues so I couldn't entirely rule out me going a little schizo being the cause of that.
Only after through medical and scientific examinations of the person rules out any other explanation for their abilities.Yeah this. People can be very smart with cons.

If a prophet came in the coming years and either preformed miracles themselves or through God, would you believe in God?
The prophet is a Christian prophet, but not Jesus Christ in this scenario. The Prophet exclaims that Jesus/God will come at the end of the world, and the world isn't ending yet, along with other reasons. His miracles are real, and well documented in this scenario. It is also clear that they are, indeed, miracles.
Do you think this would be enough to get you to believe in god? If not, why?
What would that look like to you?
Also, what if the feats are otherwise very obviously not possible?
Like growing food or trees from a seed or sapling to full height in moments, curing vast swaths of cancer or other documented and deadly illnesses, healing cuts or other large injuries in the blink of an eye, and so on?
Even if the miracles are legit and the prophet is Christian, why would that mean there is a Christian god?Basically this, I need solid proof of where those capabilities come from. I already find it highly sus that the prophet is Christian rather then Jewish.
* Can the prophet be lying?
* Can the miracles be from another source (technology that is alien or yet undiscovered)?
* Can it be from another god? Or better yet the 'devil'?
* Why must the existence of miracles portend some higher power?
For those who believe that this comes from someone else other than God, can you explain why, or what you'd need to convince you that it was God and that god was real? What it would take to convince you that it wasn't magic, the devil, or some other malicious entity trying to trick you?like i said it could just be a magicans trick no magic at all

It would certainly make me think more in depth about it. There's still a possibility that he's a con man wizard. If he tells people that "God allows me to do this", it's a lot more palatable for people to believe and it doesn't give away the fact that kind of power is possible for others.

Huh?

So what do you think would sway you to believe him to be working for GodI could believe that he believes he's working for God. And he'd need to justify that belief, because I'm not going to accept "Well, I feel pretty confident that it's him who's the source of my power."
Articulate?I don't eat artichoke
I don't eat artichoke
Ah I see a troll.I don't see the need to entertain ur kind of people.
I already believe in God so it would just be fulfilling Jesus' words at Matthew 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even Gods chosen onesWell that's convenient. If someone ever does do an actual miracle nowadays it's... False or misleading? Lame.
