Gregor,
"To seek Him in this one dimension only is superficial and I feel God recognizes that...."

Indeed. How many times and ways have we heard it expressed, "If God would only first reveal himself to me I'd believe..."
I think people are spiritual by nature and yet they must have the physical senses satisfied first. Even those claiming to be spiritual under the guise of "religion" often need something physical to focus on even though God calls it idolatry.
During the great tribulation there will be many signs and wonders. I do obviously believe that miracles occur today as well, for we know God never changes.
A lady visitor in my Sunday school class was very taken with the "gold fillings" incident enthusiastically expressing her support.
We briefly talked about Matthew 16:4 because the news article she brought had the warning light concerning how they would be seeking for more of these miracles. This I have a problem with. God does not need to prove Himself in such ways. How would he be glorified in such a thing? To what purpose? Why would any Christian seek after such a thing?
The end result is now disrepute upon this man which reflects (unjustly) upon all Christians in the eyes of those who doubt in the first place.
Why must people feel like they have to add to God's plans or works?
God bless you through this weekend. Sundays a coming!
John
