Tha Q. 04-04-06 02:43 PM

God is NOT a clown
 
There was this "research" done on the power of prayer. Apparently, some group "prayed" for cancer patients to see if there was an improvement in their conditions. The study found that there was not marked improvement in the patients who were prayed for.


umm...

First off, God is NOT a clown. So, they can't expect God to swoop down from heaven and do tricks because they snap their fingers.

Second, exactly who was praying and whom were they praying for? As far as we know, they could all have been non-believers just throwing up a prayer as part of this experiment. Tell me where in the bible it says God has to jump when we snap our fingers. Furthermore, if someone has rejected God all their lives, cursed God, and not attempted to serve and/or praise him, then why should God heal them of anything? eh ehh...It doesn't work that way. If these people who prayed for the cancer patients would study God's character in the bible, they'd know what it took to move God to act on your behalf. Just haphazardly throwing up prayers and hoping God hears you isn't the way to do it.

God is not a cosmic errand boy.

That's not scriptural. Yes, the bible says "God will not despise a contrite heart" And, it also says, "He causes his sun to shine upon the just and unjust." But, that doesn't mean that God has to respond in your time. That's what I'm saying. These people concluded that prayer doesn't work because it didn't happen right away. That's laughable because from studying the scripture, God rarely responds that way. Also, if someone hasn't accepted God and has cursed him all their lives, God wants to here one thing from them, "Save me and forgive me" not "Gimme this and gimme that"


ehh ehh

It was a poorly thought out experiment with a bad premise.

What fuckin idiots. Any christian would know an investigation like that has no bearing in anything... and any atheist or agnostic who takes it seriously is a dumbass.

But still, I can see the beliefs of a lot of people getting swayed by some bullshit like this.

What's funny is this: Saul in the bible persecuted Christians in the early church by murdering them. Then, God converted him on the road to Damascus and changed his name to Paul. I believe that people who continue to "kill" the "faith" of Christians and others by putting out this type of mumbo jumbo risk facing God's judgment. It is quite a terrible experiment. So many variables it could qualify as an algebra problem...

lol, when are people gonna realize that the New Testament exists!!!! and therefore, because of Jesus and what he did you can't hold all of those old rules to our society, thats the whole point! now, are sins ARE forgiven and if we accept God he WILL listen...

its that same misunderstanding of the Bible that leads ignorant ass conservative Baptists to tell all these random people they're going to hell, like thats any human's place to do anyways :bored:

Christians have said the end is near about a billion times :( I dunno if i should believe yall this time or not. And if the world is ending on june 6th... which time zone? I mean is the world gonna end a day or two earlier over in america because it counts in some other part of the world?

∆ P E X X 05-08-06 04:40 AM

the world ain't gonna end on june 6th, but if it's any conselation, Bush's religious advisors state he is pushing as hard as he can to fulfill the prophecies in the bible!

World Leaders with a hidden agenda, YAY!!

What makes u so smart dude? You probly read the Da Vinci Code and think you know some shit now. I fucking hate this topic of discussion, most people are so misguided... there's no point argueing with dickheads over religion everyone thinks they know some shit, but they're so fuckin ignorant to how much their idea's and opinions are not even their own, they're just mostly brainwashed or influenced... not saying everyone coz OMB actually said something that made some sense. The Q, is a fuckn queer and he's righteously quoting bible verse' like it doesn't say shit in Romans 1-27 about that. Anyways tho, In the end our demise is going to come down to man's own decision and all of man's scientific and technologically progression which we hold in such high esteem, will kill us all... through war, which is what those governmental geezers do best, and it's going to happen within this lifetime, you got no control of the outcome only your destiny and how you live life. Those are my thought's anyway's. I'm just glad i know that whoever God is, he is sovereign, and he let a fat bag busting at the seems of weed to come into my posession, i'm going to proceed to get high.
