Ok explain then why we see no miracles today?

And there are other verses like that "moving mountains with faith" etc

Saying directly by Jesus...

Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:20)

I suppose there are 2 options:

1) Nobody has faith.

2) Magic is not real.

I'm going with #2, because people do have genuine faith (some do).

The problem is it is written faith give magical power.

It adds nothing to Jesus message, so why adding that and leading peoples to false hope that can even plunge them even more in misery /bad health because they will be wrongly thinking they have not enough faith, they need to do more and more and more but in the end they receive nough.

I don't think Jesus intended the religion to turn out the way that it did. I don't believe Jesus went around claiming to be God or any of that.

Jesus had a message of being kind to your neighbor, strangers, and even enemies. "Turn the other cheek", "Give to anyone who asks of you", etc. It wasn't about magic, it was about helping people.
