Does prayer work??

From his profile, Rew states:

I submit that Rew loves his idea of who God is, but not God himself.

 

It doesn't get any more contradictory than that.

And truth is truth whether you like it or not.

 

Yes, God's perspective. Perfection is defined by God.

 

AMEN to that!!!!

 

The only way that you know anything about me is by the information that has been revealed on this website. Please feel free to provide evidence of my worshipping of a text. You will find no such evidence, as I worship the true and living God, not the imperfect "god" that you believe God to be. I certainly don't worship a text. You may take your assumptions and pre-conceived notions about me right back to where you came from.

Correct. Citation of Scripture does not make God perfect. However, God is, was, and will always be perfect no matter what you or I believe. The difference is that I have accepted the Bible as authoritative in this matter, and you have not.

You assume that I (and everybody else here, I suspect) have never questioned God as you have. You assume that everybody here is a mindless lemming that simply accepts without questioning. The assumptions you make about me, and others on this board, are staggering.

You'd like us to believe that you aren't a typical teenager, and maybe others are buying into it, but I'm not. When I was the same age you are, I asked the same kind of questions that you have, and God answered those questions for me. Most likely, he will answer them for you as well.

Regardless, lose your pre-conceived notions and assumptions about me. You don't know as much about me as you think you do.

 

The serpent questioned God's Word from the beginning. In the Book of Genesis we read:

I see satan working in the hearts of unbelievers even today questioning God's Words. Same tactics, different day.

 

You may fool yourself with such a ridiculous statement as that, but you cannot fool me. God's Word was written by the hand of man, but not the mind of man. The Holy Spirit told them what to write, they did not just write randomly.

 

You need Faith:

John 20:29: Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

 

You are trying to sow seeds of doubt, just as the serpent did in the garden.

 

:laugh:

Grow up, troll.

 

The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God.

 

I realize this isn't empirical evidence, but I can speak from experience. I have known several people who have been healed in a rather unexpected fashion, one lady who was planning on hip surgery but then during a time of prayer was able to get up and walk around with out pain. Another, fellow requested to be prayed over by our elders and was able to go off of heart medication. In both cases a doctor verified that treatment was no longer necessary. I myself in praying for guidance have found myself soon after either having an inspiring thought, had somebody say something that I needed to hear, or found something in the Bible.

 

The wisdom of God is foolishness to Rew_10. I wouldn't waste any pearls on him.
