Here is one thing to think about. The original sin separated man from God. That is when the troubles all started.
Is that why people are killed in wars?, that is too deep for this old farm boy.

Yes I do believe The Lord answers our prayers. Simple us are very challenged to understand when the answer is no. Bad things happen to good people as well ag good things happen to good people. All to frequently some of us focus on what we perceive as good things that happen to truly bad people this can be challenging at best.
Glad to hear things are going well for your fellow parishioner!
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control

Sometimes the answer is NO

You gotta know, the enemy is praying just as hard as you are. And sometimes to the same god.
For instance? For instance what? Two apposing forces each praying to the same god? Perhaps Germans vs Orthodox Russians, Germans vs Italians & Czechs & Poles & all the Christians in the Slavik states. US vs Germany, US vs Italians And we have not even started upon one face of Islam fighting another face of Islam, or Buddhist vs Buddhist, or Jew vs Christian. And lets not even get into the fact that Muhammad wrote Islam into being based upon the God of Abraham.

Abram begat Ismael. The Bible says Gods lineage came through the Lion of David. Islam disagrees.
The Bible repeatedly states Isaac was the only begotten son of Abraham. The name God gave Abram after laying HIS blessing on and changing him.
Satan has tried well to make the world believe Christian's are the brothers of Islam under Abraham. Mohammed said he had no brothers. But, at my age I cant off the top of my head remember all the Biblical truths.

Why is it so difficult for nonbelievers to leave believers alone?

Indeed Doc. Praise God. A small "price" for lack of spelling skills.

Why is it so difficult for nonbelievers to leave believers alone? They will deny Him till the end. Then they’ll be REAL sorry.

They are like cancer, like the thief in the night, come to seek and destroy the WORD as God said they would, being minions of Satan, no less than subversives like Piglosi, Hillary, Zero, Nadless, Schiftless, the MSN, etc. Suckers are sure aligned against the Christian nation and aligning with our, ha, Islamic "brothers".

Yeh That’s how works Sometimes the answer is NO, there...prayers were answered. Always expect God’s will to be done, not man’s. Exactly.........it's always God's will, not man's......which is something that more than a few on here just can't seem to comprehend.

The hospital in Twin Falls is no podunc hospital. It’s state of the art. Having spent time in it I know. It has some very good doctors. Pretty asinine to say otherwise.
Rock I’m glad everything turned out the way it did.

I once witnessed a young womans leg grow about 1/2" in length. We were praying over her and it just grew out. She walked normally after that.
A teenage boy I know had dislexia. Severe case. His father and I walked through a series of prayers for forgivenes, rejection of generational sins, and healing. At the end of the hour the lad was reading perfectly with no difficulty what so ever. Same to this day.
Ya. God hears and God heals.

I believe in God and been the lucky recipient of a miracle, but I don't share the attitude toward non believers as some of you. I've met Rocky a few times and I suspect he's a better guy than some believers I know. We are all on different points of a trajectory in faith and belief in God and believers would do well to not condemn those who are not there yet. Paul was once Saul.
I'd rather share a campfire with a decent non believer like Rocky before a sleazy believer. Wouldn't be surprised if God felt the same way.
