I used your's as a GOOD example.. Yours was a cute thread, and i did not go into it and start crap.. same here, was a cute thread till PMS gal had to come in and start crap over nothing.
the original question was..............
"What have you seen people do that makes you shake you head?"
Because you and some others want to dwell on what I saw as strange, and say nothing at all about the very first question and add to what was to be a fun and maybe bit odd of a thread .
Add something of interest but stop trying to start crap.
What have you seen people do that makes you shake you head?
This is no joke, saw this yesterday...
A 62 year old woman, shaved head, cellulite rolls everywhere, walking down mainstreet walking her dog, million cars........ and all she had on was a very small Bikini
like most, I have done about all of it when I was young.
Since MJ is illegal I don't touch it, but make it legal and I will be first in line!
Quit smoking 3 months ago,, all of the rest I quit over 20 years ago.
I also find drunks very annoying, I will not step foot in a bar for any reason.. not even to shoot pool. I just can't stand being around drunk people.
Now I don't want anything that has any kind of control of me.
even after surgery..I was given Oxycodone 325mg.. says to take 2 every 4 hours, I have only taken 1 every 8 hours,( Hi tolerance for pain) total of 5. damn.. they gave me 60.
Just can't stand taking something that knocks me out.
Many time the answer we get is not what we want. many times it is a loud NO! Is there a lesson to be learned? will we truly be happier with what we are asking for? Lets say you pray for a new car, a new home, a lot of nice furniture, maybe a lot of land and a few horses and so on........... Now lets say God gives you all of this because it is what you wanted.. but will you truly be happy? You now have an entire life of credit, for the next 40 years.. you just might get it paid off in time to pass away. but lets say that you loose your job, get hurt in an accident, stock market crashes or so on . you can suddenly loose it all. Happens all of the time! who has lost the most and suffers the most......... the one that had little to loose or the one that had it all? seriously.. think about it.
This is the only answer I have seen that is anywhere close to being right. Thanks skinner. not a popularity contest at all. and the vast majority of prayer gos unheard for many reasons. again read the Bible. there is one true church. one true word of God. with so many false churches and false religions. Only those truly seeking God will be heard. But this topic will not gain ground or credence because so many want to believe and follow whatever is the easiest path. not the path of right.
But I have seen here many times where people say that they do not believe in a God, or Bash any part of his word, many adding to his word to make it easier to accept and a thousand other ways of manipulating his word.. and then those same people pray to a God that doesn't exist . they are praying to a fictional self made God. So, honestly... how many of these prayers are doing any good at all.
The Bible tells us what to pray for, exactly how to pray to be effective. who's prayers will be heard.
but in the end.. This body is a temporary shell, for those who truly believe and follow God, you will be risen from the dead to rejoin God.
Look at it like a cookbook. you open it and see a picture of a dish that looks sooo good, so you want to make it to see if it taste as good as it looks, but you decide not to read the list of ingredient's. you just throw in whatever you want...Do you then truly expect it to come out as pictured?
Praying for someone who does not truly know and have a relationship with God is a bit tricky. You CAN NOT pray for their well being.. only they can do that.You can on the other hand pray for them to become open and accepting to God and that God can give them the true Understanding and faith needed to pray for themself.
But prayer has become so meaningless.. who do you think is going to be heard? Seriously..do you pray for a lot of things that just really don't matter,, The ball game... let us win God? God.. let me get the loan for this bigger nicer house,, even though I already have a decent home. and so on??????
