> also now to answer the questions you asked me....
>
> >>Why didn't prayer stop the extermination of millions of Jewish people? I guarantee
> you they were all praying for God to intervene.
>
> I assume your talking about WWII, that is explained in the bible. God explains
> that due to their disbelief in Christ that they would suffer for it. That by
> denying him (God) that basically there would be a time he would deny them.
>
> >>Why hasn't prayer ended poverty, or starvation, or the exploitation and slavery of
> >>children across the world?
>
> >>Does God only help in hospitals, and kids who didn't study for their math test?
>
> This again is answered in the Bible, The first book Genesis. God gave domionin of
> the
> earth to man. The earth belongs to man to put what ever powers he see's fit in charge
> so to speak, be it greed, power, envy, war, etc. If you rent a home from me I have no
>
> right nor power to come into that home and tell you how to live your life. I may see
> the choices your making are hurting or harming you and I may plead with you but it's
> your choice, your right to decide the path of your own life. God makes it clear he
> will not visit were he is not wanted. Christ told the entire flock "if you go into a
> man's house in my name and he will not listen then leave and to even wipe the dust of
> that house hold of your shoes"
>
> Listen I can't explain why God does one thing and not another, but I do know that
> there are many and Im sure you can say yes to this too, that have been in a situation
> and reached out and prayed and made promises then when that prayer was answered
> suddenly
> sometimes days even just hours later those people make excuses why it happened, seen
> it happen many many times. Be honest if you were God and someone prays to you asking
> for
> help and you reach out and answer that prayer only to have them make excuses or even
> deny your help would you be so willing to step in and help again? heck we can see
> that
> every day in the way people treat people. Friends asking for help after not seeing
> them
> for months or even yrs and then after helping mysteriously the dissappear again....
>
> Does prayer work? yes it does, I have 2 miracles in healing in my life, 1 my ex

> up 4 beats a minute and breathing up 3, we walked out and I told her not to give up.
> doctors met us and asked to turn off machines we said no. Family got mad. we did this
