Slippery Slope

-SS

Some are here simply to correct errors about various non-theistic statements. Some are to correct untruths about Atheism and or other religions. Some, like myself are searching to answers. I personally am trying to understand Christianianty from a fundamentalist point of view. I thing they/we hope to learn something. Let me ask you a question, do you visit Atheist or other religious forums? Still waiting -SS

Do you know who Jesus was speaking to Slope? He was speaking to His followers friend. May I suggest the following link to a study and discussion on effective prayer? "Is GOD really listening to me?", Effective Prayer 1 John 5 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he hears us

Matthew 21:22 KJV 22And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Mark 11:24 KJV 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Still waiting -SS

SS, Open your heart to the truth and God will be there and you won't be waiting anymore. Its that simple !!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before God gets to me I hope it's before the the treatment I get here turns me off to Xianity completely. Anything you'd like to say about the topic? Still waiting -SS

No one else would like to explain why they pray? Still waiting -SS

Answering for myself I would have to say that many times I do not know why someone may not be healed...it could be from lack of faith on behalf of the ones praying or the recipient...It might not be G-ds timing or plan...I try not to second guess G-d but to be obedient to whatever situation I am in....I have gone through some great disappointments and struggled to understand why nothing has happened at times. Hope this gives you a clue. Kind Regards. Botz <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you for your thoughtful response Botz, I'll consider what you've said. Still waiting -SS

Interesting, so if you pray for someone to be healed and they aren't do you assume you didn't pray well enough or do you chalk it up to gods mysterious purpose which you aren't meant to understand? How do you know which it is? Still waiting -SS

This thread got hijacked at about post number 11 and was driven farther and farther off course every post thereafter. I'd like to rekindle this topic. The last post anywhere near the topic was number 17 so let's pick up from there. Most of this is just proselytizing but I did find this to be interesting "I have had many instances of answered prayers including miraculous healing..." but then you go on to say "Prayer isn't all about asking God for various or sundry things. Prayer is about having an intimate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ..." So at least in your mind ellie, you can ask God to intervene on your behalf. So if someone were sick and you pray hard enough God may at decide to answer your prayer and change the outcome of a situation for you. Is this correct? Still waiting -SS

Still waiting on that extensive word study. Since you make the claim I'll leave it to you to do the work. Umm, actually you DO need the sun to know what a day is. 24 hours (as well as our gregorian calendar) is measured by the sun and if you were on a different planet a "day" would be quite a different length of time. Without the earth revolving around the sun there is no time keeping on earth. Still waiting -SS

Thanks Lekcit, I'll check that link out. I made some Kool-ade for lunch today and it was good. "Good" might mean the opposite of bad not that it was aged. It doesn't say it tasted like an aged wine or a finely aged wine. Some aged wines are not good and I would consider a finely aged wine to be better than just "good". But that's just my opinion...

The Simon and Zachariah inscriptions were carved about the 4th century, at a time when Byzantine Christians were searching the Holy Land for sacred sites linked to the Bible and marked them, often relying on local lore, said Puech. So some Byzantine Christians who were searching the holy land for biblical sites asked some locals to point out sacred sites. They then go carve the names on this tomb... That's some historical facts!! -SS
