power of prayer

[Falconer02]

But what the heck, I'll post one anyway: This thread is just plain sickening.

You expected a loving post from christians on Fusioncash? How naive are you!? 

What exactly happened to F9 though?

There are times when prayer works wonders.  However, there is a saying "Be careful of what you ask for; you just may get it."  I thank God for all blessings in my life; without Him, you are just praying to the wind.

At least the wind is actually real.

Speaking of the wind, you reminded me of a couple of Bible verses about the wind and believers:

John 3:8 (NIV)
"The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

Ecclesiastes 11:5 (NIV)
"As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things."

ALL THING OR POSSIBLY WITH GOD SO JUST BELIEVE AND KEEP ON PRAYING

That's all irrelevant now. We do know the direction of the wind. In fact the internet can give me the wind direction (updated fairly recently) of any city in the united states. Also, we do know how a baby is formed in a mothers womb. We have ultrasound evidence, as well as years of scientific study and journals describing the formation of babies in more than one species (this of course includes humans). We are so confident, in fact, that we base aspects of our medical practice on such evidence. Although we don't know everything about the wind or babies there is to know we are still learning and will eventually understand how wind and babies work in their entirety. We know a heck of a lot more about wind and babies then when the bible was written, and its all thanks to science. The bible is pretty much an end-all when it comes to scientific advancement, as seen these passages, and any support or use of modern day technology/science is a blatant disregard of the bible and the "word of god".

I'm thankful the scientist who didn't take the passages seriously and who questioned whether such things really where unknowable. Because of it we have modern day medicine (which can account for saving the lives of billions) , meteorology (which through being able to predict catastrophic weather we can save the lives of hundreds of thousands), and countless other convinces others many take for granted. These passage blatantly shows the absolute support of ignorance in lieu of a supposed super-being, in that, we shouldn't advance our understanding of the universe because it doesn't really matter. After all, why worry about earthquakes and cancer when god takes care of everything for us?

I was simply sharing a couple of verses I remembered about the wind in them.  As always, you are entitled and welcome to your viewpoints, some of which I happen to agree with, and I and others are entitled and welcome to ours, whether we agree with some or all, or not.  Thanks for your response.

What a joke ...

Have you made any cakes or cupcakes lately?

I believe in praying.  I do it everyday, several times a day.  THERE IS POWER IN PRAYER.  I have experienced it.  All I can say God is good.

And I was simply explaining that these verses blatantly attempt to suppress people's desire to question things by telling them there's no point since you'll never understand anything god does. Passages like these are the reason the bible should be blamed for suppressing scientific advancement and harming human society as a whole.

I don't know whether or not you agree with this notion, but if you do then why do you share these passages in an attempt to spread this obviously detrimental message?

You experience it, therefore its true... I'm glad the average person has enough sense to know this is not a good way to determine the truth. If we where to just simply believe everything we see and hear we would all be nervous wrecks. We would also believe without question that the sky is falling and purple unicorns are reining down on Washington with laser guns because the neighborhood crack pot herd it on the radio.

I just don't see the Bible as an attempt to suppress desire for questioning anything that deserves answers.  The Bible, or God, may say or tell things, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't question how things work, are made, work, etc.  And God's Word is in no way suppressing scientific advancement nor is it harming human society as a whole.  That may be your interpretation, but it's not everyone's.  Back when the idea of evolving from monkeys was ramp-id, my interpretation of that was that it was harming human society for people to actually believe something that far-fetched and ridiculous - but, it was still the choice of some to believe it.  I didn't/don't.

As a Christian, of course I'm going to spread God's message of salvation.  Whether people accept Christ or not, is entirely up to them.  I'm not here to push it, just to tell about it and offer it.  I'm harming no one by doing so.  People will believe what they choose, and that's their right, personal choice, and free will to do so.  Just as I chose/choose to live for Christ, with my personal life and endeavors.  To reiterate, I do accept God's Word and Creation, however, I do question and search for answers regarding the what, how, why, when, and where of those things that happened and do happen.

I was wondering when someone would point out the general feeling of peace and harmony we've had around here since "he who shall not be named" has been gone. I'd like to know what it was that caused them to finally ban him,since he was a disruptive member for like-ages.

And yet, those two above passages make it pretty clear to not try and understand how god works. It simply cannot be done as shown in the second one. Also, the idea the we evolved from monkeys was not one perpetrated by scientist by one perpetrated by creationist who didn't understand evolution (and BASIC Biological classification that even a high school student should know) at all. We are related to monkeys, but only by Order (we are in different families.) Evolution doesn't jump through hoops and turn trees into fish. When it comes to macro evolution, everything evolved from a very specific order starting with the most basic of organism that expanded outward into other organisms.

Thank you God for Christians or real believers in Christ Jesus to be online. Love seeing you guys online.
