There are places in the Bible where Jesus, doing a miracle, notes that He just
*asked*, but God the Father did the heavy lifting. Hence, even if someone has
enough faith, if moving a mountain would be a bad idea in the particular case,
there is no reason to expect God to cooperate.

But if there ever comes a time when a Christian with enough faith has a good
reason to move a mountain, and it doesn't happen, then a question would be
raised.
