Tell us about your plan to avoid the ravages of age. How are you going to deal with a diaper?

"What'cha got ain't nothin new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you. That's vanity."
Ellis

Proverbs 21:24

"Proud," "Haughty," "Scoffer," are his names, Who acts with insolent pride.



Proverbs 16:18 (KJV)

18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Its not a matter of scoffing, just basic questioning of beliefs, healthy skepticism. The world is full of contradictory beliefs, each believer convinced that they have the truth, but logically, not everything that is believed to be true can be true.

Better yet... from your dribble, how are you?

I assume I’ll be like the other old fug’s if Im im a diaper... i’ll wear a diaper and probably be in assisted living....

How is it god will do any different for you?

Where did suicide come from? My assumption is your rather confused here. Maybe people who are mentally strong enough to realize an invisible being that lives in this made up place heaven, that no actual living man has ever been to record this.... is probably mentally fit enough to understand the virtues of aging.

Amen.

Well, I pray to Him all the time, mainly to forgive me for cussing, crap, with my luck i need all the help i can get.
PTL, He says to bring All to Him in prayer.

I had a nice lady as a patient for many years who was gradually going down hill from hypertension induced kidney failure. Fairly poor, deceased husband, worker at an area church, had been on kidney list for years and had had 3 calls for a donor over a few years and gone in but in each time the kidney was too far gone or some problem prevented the sx.

I saw her one afternoon and checked her retinas and she said she was nearing the end and asked me to pray for her. Well, right there and then I knew she needed help I the worst way so I put my rt hand on her left shoulder and prayed the Lord would intervene and get her a kidney and save her.

A few months later she came back in looking much better and I asked her how things were going. She said the evening i prayed for her she went home and got in bed to rest and got the phone call to have her daughter bring her in right then. They had her a kidney.

That was about 5 years ago and I just saw her about a week ago walking out of Furrs in the mall.

PTL.

“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”

― George Carlin

I ask all that do believe to pray for the nonbelievers.

This is a religious thread please refrain from applying logic.

Richard, as bad as they need it, there are times when I believe we need it even more.......if you know what I mean.

If you don't believe, your right and you this this true for yourself, if you do believe you have allowed a spiritual transformation within yourself and it shows up with everything you experience. Inexplicable to those naysayers out there .
I like to believe that quantum physics argues a case for Christ. Time and space is no longer linear and measurable. Who would of thunk? Perhaps Albert E, would agree. The mystery of faith.

Should not 'thy will be done' alone be sufficient?

That was not the way I was taught.

Monkey see monkey do principle..or in your case, sheep.

Well yes as the story goes there is exchange or conversation between the two..

But that does not mean there is such exhange
between God and christians when they pray.
Since most prayers fall flat, chances are the
God they imagine isnt even listening.

Of course James.

Actually, the Jews stole the idea of Satan from the Zoroastrians during their time in Persia.
