[QUOTE="Arnox, post: 4143, member: 1"] There's been some famous ones but the most famous of all by far is Joseph Smith. Rather uneducated. Little support. Little money. SO MUCH PERSECUTION. But despite all that, he still managed to perfectly translate a record from Ancient America that had been lost to time freakishly quickly and restore a church that really should have died once persecution reached its peak and they had to leave for Utah in the Salt Lake Desert of all places. Having said that, there's a ton of small stories of people being cured, blessed, and even the weather turning perfectly to their favor to stop an attack, but I think you're also kind of looking for the wrong things. There was a TON of massive acts of deity in Moses' time because it was important that EVERYONE, not just the Israelites, understand that God was THE God and the only God that mattered and would ever matter. The Old Testament is filled with stories of God crushing other supposed "gods" under his feet. Now there is a different emphasis. This is NOT to say a great act of diety can't happen anymore, but that it's generally much less necessary than it was before. God was now focused on converting others from other misleading Christian religions back into his own once more now that the truth and the priesthood had been restored. Technically everyone was worshiping God for the most part, but very important things that should not have been cast aside were lost. [/QUOTE]
