God is NOT a clown

IP:

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.
