what I wanna know from noose, is what are the GREATER miracles?
y'all keep talking about us thinking we think we can do miracles like Jesus but that is not what Jesus said
so, what are the GREATER miracles?
Jesus said GREATER
he did not say you will do the same...your question is not honest
GREATER miracles...let's have some according to you

Whatever it is, it can not be speaking meaningless words and preaching another gospel. Thanks to the scripture, we know what Jesus meant by works:
John 9:
1As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes. 7“Go,”he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
And He said several times, "..even if you don't believe in me, at least believe in the works themselves..". So from this statement, we know He was not talking about His words but His deeds (miracles).
Again, thanks to the scriptures we know the disciples did greater works in healing the sick/ driving out demons/ raising the dead/ many other miracles including breaking chains while singing is a cell.
But you want us to believe that greater works is sitting in a local church and speak meaningless words.

The one who was to come came:
Heb 10: 25not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. .....
36You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37For, in just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.
Rom 13:11And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
The idea that you are going to wait in future to tell people how they were wrong is futility. Unless Paul lied (God forbid).

Oh yeah, when did he come Noose? I must have missed it. I see you listing Hebrews 10 and Romans 13 but they still put the coming emanate, yet future. So, when did He come? 70 AD, or before? Later? Paul's time was up the moment he died. The same as with the Apostles. 
Hey listen, we know His return is near but, it hasn’t happen yet.
Christ’s return is like a train, I can hear Him way off in the distance and I know He’s coming.....the sound of that train never leaves my ears - just gets louder. I’m busy getting ready!!!
As a mom, trying to get all my children dressed and ready, too! Cause there’s a train a coming.....and I don’t want to miss it!

When did He come? When the new covenant was ratified.
When was the new covenant ratified? At the exact moment these words were written:
Rev 14:
13Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”
When was that? Not 70 AD but could be late 1st or early 2nd century.
Oh goodness, I’m having flashbacks of the “Left Behind” series! Lol!

Jesus' tomb was empty.......His flesh and blood put on immortality and inherited the Kingdom of God. We shall do the same.....our flesh and blood shall be changed in the twinkling of an eye. I don't have to understand the science of it but, I do know our physical bodies will die as seeds and a new body will come forth from the ground just like Jesus did.

36You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37For, in just a little while, he who is coming will come and will not delay.
The day was approaching for them that lived in the 1st century and they waited for the one who was to come. I choose to believe that the day came and the one who was to come came.
A little while by any standards can not mean 21st century and counting. Paul is not a liar and he didn't just give them false hopes.
And then of course:
Matt 10: 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Jesus is now a life giving spirit, when will the life giving spirit come? He is and was and is to come the Almighty. This is the right description of His coming, meaning that throughout the church era starting in the first century, He has been coming into new believers until the determined number is achieved, then the end of age will come.
If you are waiting to see someone riding a cloud then you are in for a long wait:
Matt 26:
63But Jesus remained silent.
Then the high priest said to Him, “I charge You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
My advice, don't hold your breath, oy vey.
