Did Jesus Lie?

This makes no sense at all. Since no one has ever restored a missing limb or replace a missing eye, let alone moved a mountain, then no human can ever have the faith the size of a mustard seed so why even bring the subject up - what was the intent? This is a completely useless passage. Edited by iceage, : No reason given.

Sure all memes of invisible beings require that.... Your theology is on the same level as chain-letter psychology. Religion and Chain LettersBut you cannot so.... Why not? Why did Jesus do miracles when here on earth? Why did God supposedly "tear" the curtain in the temple? Why supposedly did God reverse the sun for sign to some ailing king? A colossal cosmological intervention for a single individual but nothing for the world in general.... Does this sound congruent.A curious fact is that the lack of desire of your God to "give you the sign" is remarkable like other invisible Gods (Zeus, Apollo, Thor, Allah, etc.)

Wanting a sign is a bit of a red herring concerning this topic.The topic says very simply that if you have faith you can perform miracles.From putting together your various statements you seem to be saying that Jesus said "if you have faith you can perform miracles however miracles are a sign and God doesn't want to give a sign so no miracles." Huh?I hesitate to reiterate and not drag this topic off course but on the topic of signs why did Jesus perform miracles? Why did God reverse the movement of the Sun?

I always appreciate a fresh and out-of-box look at things. And I hate to criticize as not to discourage such thinking. However.... This is I believe a corruption of the intent of the passage. Mustard seeds don't have faith they are programmed to do what they do. If this is your view then water molecules also have "perfect faith" as does a rock. You pick up a rock and let go and it obeys the law of gravity just like the creator "planned for it to" it never disobeys.Don't you think a mustard seed was selected for this parable due to its very small size?Further as sidelined commented please explain how one can have "No Doubt what so ever yet still not have any faith. Creative and non-standard use of definitions?
