Would you go to church if there were more explosions/pyrotechnics/resurrections/wine making?
Would you go to church if there were more ressurections, walking on water, fireworks, wine making?

Yeah!
Nah
Cuz I’d know it’s all trickery
You mean if churches were able to replicate the miracles that they claim to be able to do? Yeah, I’d go then.
If you could walk on water, I would definitely believe in a god and go to church.
you wouldnt be able to keep me out of church if there was wine and explosions
I’d go if they’d turn my water into wine…
No
I love the quiet ritual and the peacefulness.
However, my church has a contemporary service with a live band.
Surely you have sense enough to know that church is not like a magic show.
You want firewrks? It happens on July 4 in America.
If they weren’t fake.
No…church would still be boring.
no
because it would be about the miracles not about God
I love going to church and I like a little excitement sometimes, but
I don’t drink wine, and fireworks are too loud, and there’s no water
where I go to church, and it would scare me to death if someone
resurrected from the cemetary. So I think I have to say "No".
May God bless you.
People that go now would still go and those that didnt still wouldnt.
The reasons that the believers go now would still exist
The reasons the doubters have would still exist
sounds kick ass, id make sure to bring some dope
might not actually be a church though lmao
I’m sure everybody would, but then it wouldn’t be so much a religion than a TV show. The point of church is to spread the word of God and spending way to much money on stuff like fireworks contradicts the teachings of giving to the poor.
As far as miracles go, it is salvation by faith and not by works. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
It would be really cool though. Imagine some spectacular light show and fog effects with people dressed up as the major prophets doing crazy dances with glow sticks. Angels jamming out on guitars and throwing themselves into the crowd. Preachers with mad dance skills. That would be so epic =D…. and expensive =(
No. Not my style. I prefer a liturgical church with a focus on a message from the gospels, contemplative prayer, communion and confession. I like the mystery and ritual, not a lot of nonsense.
Is God a performer? God is not mocked; 4. To fool; to tantalize; to play on in contempt. The Israelite that were marching around the desert were so used to God performing miracles that they took for granted all His provisions they became hard hearted, so next time someone demands God perform for them bring up the story of the Jews who were freed of slavery, and forgot God’s wonderful provisions while in the wilderness; ie: parting the Red Sea, drowning the Pharaoh’s army, feed the masses with heavenly manna, getting water out of a rock, defeating their enemies with Moses holding up his staff, and latter on making the earth stand still while the Israelites fought.
We actually do have pyrotechnics at my favorite church gatherings.
