There is only one possible answer to the prayers and it's MAYBE. The same result you'd get as praying to a car or any other object.
Wrong! The answer to prayers is always, God knows best, and answers all prayers in the best way.
so it's still a maybe, if the best "way" for you is not to listen to your prayer and you're not aware of his thought, the answer is maybe.
Maybe what? There are maybe's all over the place in life. One of the places that ISN'T a maybe is that God answers prayer in the best way. Like you think that we know what is best, better than the Guy Who controls everything through cause and effect, and MAYBE a million other ways, as well?
Come on, man. God is on your side. Quit fighting Him.
Show me one person whom prayers have helped to beat cancer. No such people. If the doctors helped, they say that God heard the prayers, if the doctors don't help, then say what is bad prayed. This is nonsense!
All people who knew they had cancer and beat it, did so through prayer. Some of the people knew they were praying. Others didn't.
WTF? Now this is just mindless rubbish. That is like saying all those Altar boys who were raped by the priest of their church didn't ask for it.... but in reality they did.
You only look at the surface of things. People have been hurting people all over the world almost since time began.
People who hurt others for no reason will lose
some of their glory in Heaven if they are saved. But if they are damned, they will have extra pain in Hell.
Some glory? So killers would go to your imaginary place in the sky?
What are you even talking about, my imaginary place in the sky? I haven't said anything about an imaginary place in the sky that I have. You gotta be at least a little nutty to imagine things that you then proclaim that I imagine.
How twisted ideology is this? If you don't kill you'll get a palace in heaven, but if you kill, and be sorry, you'll get a condo in heaven.
WTF? Looks like the people who came up with these admission criteria wanted more people to be saved (and pay for it).
And what is this all about? My point always has been, that if you repent from unbelief in Jesus salvation to faith in it, and then repent of the things that you have done wrong, you will be saved. To repent means to change your attitude and your ways. If you don't repent about Jesus in your heart and mind, even repenting of your wicked works won't save you.
It does not matter if you killed, raped or whatever, you are still good to go, once you pay the right amount.
Indulgence my ass.
Everything in religious (it does not matter which one) ideologies is about increasing membership.
They call it missionary work, it should be called marketing and client retention department.
What in the world stupid fallacies are you marketing here (above)?
Religious mission work is similar to marketing, but it isn't marketing. Many missionaries erroneously use marketing techniques in doing mission work.
Mission work is simply informing. No skin off my rear end if you don't accept and make it to Heaven. This is a forum. We chat here.
