Shaky, what you must remember about me is I am a universial friend to all peoples! 🙂
Seriously though, your correct and I do but when I said should we pray for each other I didn't mean in general but rather was the point of this thread for us all to offer up prayers...say, I pray JIA wakes up sort of stuff.

Yes, I pray for JIA all the time. 😉

I've made fairly complex requests, coupled with a complex sacrifice...the prayer was granted...all was going well...i went back on my word...everything that had been going well and looked sorted fell apart...I asked for one more chance...and it fixed again...

does your god rate the prayers or is it a random pick on whos prayer to fulfill?

God answer's every prayer. (Oh, and yes I think future incumbents of the See of Peter are put on a high priority line)

God answer's every prayer.

Well...maybe they should pray to your syncronicity thingy...

The answer isn't always yes

Ah, I love that attitude...there are starving kids in South America...their mums and dads go to Church everyday but still starve...Where are you God? What are you doing?

The real question, is where are you anaconda? How are you helping these people? Its all well and good for you to tell God what his job is...but are you doing anything?

Good thing Christian Missions are there to help with whatever they can. Which reminds me....I need to donate some cash to charity.

I agree with you, partially. Instead of clamouring for divine intervention, people should seek temporal solutions to their problems, even if "God" exists.

Yet, have you never asked yourself why, if the Scriptures are correct, God suffered to let man Fall? What purpose did it serve in Its "plan," if It is truly omnipotent/omniscient?

Is that a joke? It would appear so, to me....

oh I help them with telling them dont worry there is a god with a greater scheme, if you starve here on earth just devote your soul and heart to the lord and you be saved and rewarded in heaven.....casue that sure as hell fill their stomachs.
I belive in that we can help these pople funding certain programs that help these people get a bit self sufficient, many christians organisations are good at this , but so is some non religious as well.......... to these organisation I donate money
