A religion of miracles

Belonging to that weird Mormon religion that believes in the possibility of miracles and that God is able to and does communicate with persons on this earth, I was pondering our position in relation to other Christian churches. I thought about Jesus Christ, the object of all Christian faiths, of the extraordinary events surrounding his life on earth as described in the New Testament, and how absolutely central these miraculous happenings were to the message and meaning of Christianity. Should a person be counted Christian who does not accept and testify of these miracles detailed in the Bible?

--Old Testament prophets knew and prophesied accurately of Christ’s mission many years before his birth

--Angels appeared to mortals with messages about his birth:
Zacharias
Mary
Shepherds

--Miraculous conception of Jesus:
His mother, Mary, was a virgin when he was born
He was conceived through the Holy Ghost as the Son of God
He existed and was God before his birth in the flesh

--Mortals had revelations from God (dreams) to protect Jesus, when he was a baby:
Joseph (twice)
Wise Men

--There were numerous miracles during Christ’s ministry, including:
He brought 3 people back to life who had died
There were at least 22 instances in which he healed a sick person
He calmed a tempest on the Sea of Galilee
He walked on water
Draught of fish (twice)
He fed large multitudes (twice) without any preparation
He changed water to wine

--(And especially that) His suffering, death and resurrection were real and have divine benefits to mankind:
His suffering and death were substitutionary for the price of the sins of mankind and made divine forgiveness possible
Three day after his death, he came to life again (resurrected) and was seen by over 500 witnesses
His resurrection broke the bands of death and made the resurrection available to mankind

--He was seen ascending through the air into heaven by many witnesses

It seems to me that our Church is being singled out increasingly for opposition/mocking, etc. by secular non-believing critics. In doing so, these criticisms also attack the true foundations of all Christianity. I think that it is only right that other Christian churches step up to the plate in our defense. Or, are they in denial of the miraculous basics of their own faith?

Surely it cannot be true what Parley Pratt once concluded about the mainstream Christian churches, when speaking of their creedal definition of the nature of God: “Oh, pious name for atheism.” Could it be possible that we have non-believing enemies on both our left and our right?
