    Why do we pray?

    No, I think it's impossible to argue with scripture. I present scenarios that can be difficult to explain for the practice in confronting them.

    Why do we pray?

    Then "ask and you shall receive" is negated.

    Why do we pray?

    Lord, I'm hungry. Will you please give me a steak? 7 1/2 ounces, medium-well, and a dry baked potato? I'm busy and don't want to go the store, and I don't want to go to a restaurant and pay for it, and I certainly don't want to cook it myself. But I'm asking, so it shall be given [won't it?]...

    Why do we pray?

    We pray because we are instructed to do so. Does God know when someone [anyone] is going to die? Of course. But do we? No. Can prayers change His mind, based on number, volume, fervency, or anything else? That answer ranges from "most probably not" to "definitely not," considering Jonah and...

    Fasting

    Fasting must have some positive value ... as slowing has the opposite.

    What Preachers Won't Preach About

    Are you kidding? Jesus is Lord of ALL. Except, of course, of politics (don't you know?).

    Disrespect to baby Jesus?

    Maybe that guy needs to be asked: If a thug used his fists to assault your wife, mother, kids, or anyone else close to you-- unquestionably "disrespect," and worse than that-- does that prove that you worship them?

    Skipping church - Is it a sin

    I don't find an answer that would be truly honest in your list, including "Other answer," because I'm not sure if this is someting that can be defined so precisely. It's really more a matter of attitude than a list of excuses, lame or not. Often, if you don't really want to attend, you can plan...

    Naughty and Nice list

    Naughty and Nice list I thought this might be about the posters on this board, and I was wondering which list I would be on.

    Passive Occupy protesters take pepper spray blast

    TC: was the right to assembly not what you meant when you said "Its not freedom unless EVERYBODY has it?"

    Passive Occupy protesters take pepper spray blast

    The part that he can't just sign out of prison for the day to go protest-- a right you claimed he does have.

    Passive Occupy protesters take pepper spray blast

    It's not freedom unless everybody has it. Does O.J. Simpson have it? ... Does he have it? I'm asking in the same present tense in which you made your claim.

    Tithing and debts

    I have found the opposite... especially in regard to the Malachi test of God, as many speakers and authors still push.

    Tithing and debts

    Explain that one.

    Passive Occupy protesters take pepper spray blast

    Does O.J. Simpson have it? This sounds like something he would join just to get another woman if for no other reason.

    Man Fired for Refusing to Wear 666 Sticker

    I agree with that as probable. But there is a bit of trouble I see with this "at will" employment. If they wanted an excuse to fire him, maybe that was it, just to look better. Although some on this thread seem to think any person can be fired for any reason whatsoever-- making constitutional...

    Man Fired for Refusing to Wear 666 Sticker

    And what is a piece of thin rubber? Yet...http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2000/feb/00020803 a Hasidic Jew was fired for refusing to sell condoms, claiming his religious rights were infringed. Is he an idiot also IYO? Then how about the many retail and other employees who refuse to...

    Obama talks outta both sides of his mouth... It's hard to pronounce a V if you don't.

    Do Boardgames Really Send the Wrong Message to Our Children???

    I remember once, playing Monopoly when I was about 13, I landed on a high rent space for the second straight roll, then picked up the whole board, with money, card, houses, and slammed it against the wall. My sister, 15 months older than I am, looked to be in horror and she ran outside to the...
