Is not tho op asking us why we even need faith today? It sounds like he/she is saying we don't need any.
Why are you so afraid to directly ask me for the answer to what you suppose I am saying?
Lol.

I was only answering you according to what you said what all Christians should do. For you to answer back to me the way you did is indeed mean spirited.

Lol.
On the OP: I personally need to exercise faith daily to live a life pleasing to the Lord and to keep me from sinning against Him. :thumbs:
Did Jesus whine and complain when people were "mean spirited" towards Him ... ?
Lol.
Why are you being so vague and incomplete in your answer?
State what it is in which you need to have a daily faith because it is so difficult for you to comprehend with surety from the clear information of Scripture.
Wow, maybe you should take your own advice to heart.
John
Thank you for demonstrating you think intuitively and with no purposeful completion. Lol. This is shown by your lack of identified specifics about why you think I should "Take my own advice to heart."
Immature and weak people cannot back up their statements with fact. Lol.
Did you know it is possible for you to change this problem you have? May I pray for you ... ?
I am not really sure who you would pray to.....so no thanks.
John
Sometimes God's plans are not the same as ours.
What you said here is very cold and unchristianlike.
Why are you here on the BB? Just to make trouble?
Do you hate God?
What is your agenda?
John
Are you here on BB to give little milque toast "answers" such as, "Sometimes God's plans are not the same as ours?"
Are you ready to say that to the faces of desperate and helpless people, and their families, who are dying because God will not answer their deepest pleas for healing? Are you? Remember, the vast majority of people who plead with God for healing are not healed. Your idea about "sometimes" is just Churchy nonsense. Admit it.
Answer up with some accountability for your words, John. Give us a "Christlike" answer.
DHK sits here every day and defends our Lord. Monitoring this board cannot be easy. I know because sometimes I can be very difficult.
My question to you is this......without faith, why would you want to obey God?
John
You are right about calling yourself "mean spirited."
I corrected you, it is not whining.
Argue about imaginary things with yourself, because I am finished discussing anything with you.
Here is my answer. I have no need for faith other than in the veracity of God's Written Word, and that is enough to compel my obedience to God.
Now, step up and answer my question. Exactly what do you need to have faith in? Do not waste our time with weak, little, milque toast aphorisms with no specifics.

So you would blame God for not healing everybody?
Who are you to question God?
John
I did not "question God," but rather stated the truth that He heals only a very few people when they cry out to Him and are anointed with oil in obedience to Scripture. Did you actually think He heals most or all people who come to Him?
I did not "blame" God for not healing all people. It is a fact He is the one who does heal people when they are healed. Do you have a problem with that? Lol. Do you have some sort of a problem with understanding the English language?
As well, remember that most of the Prophets in Scripture did indeed "question God." For your information, God is big enough not to be offended when He is questioned. Perhaps "questioning God" would not be such an issue for yourself if you would stop trying to make God into your own image. Lol.
About three years ago I knew a pastor that went to the hospital to visit a woman who was very ill. The woman's family was there and he prayed over her for healing. He told the family "I dont know about you, but I trust God and his healing power, and I believe that He just healed her"
Two days later she died.
Now, the pastor was just as wrong as you are. He has no right to claim God's healing power, just as you have no right to deny it. God heals whom He chooses when He chooses. I am concerned about the impression this false claim to healing left on this family. Do they blame God?
I suspect that you have suffered a great loss in your life, and that you blame God for it.
Dont blame God. You may not like Him much, but He loves you.
John
PS, you dont have to be so nasty on here. These are good people (with the exception of one nasty pastor) on here, and they would do anything to help you.
