You should be following GOD and not looking to men to direct you. BIG MISTAKE!
I don't look to men to direct me. However, I do consider ideas and arguments that are presented to me.

The attitude you've expressed to other people puts me completely off your message. Your approach represents a stumbling block between me and whatever brand of religion you're selling. You hold up as holy a book that tells us that a good tree cannot bear bad fruit... well, you're giving us bad fruit. If you take the Great Commission seriously, you'll re-think your tactics.

You use scriptures that preach love as a club in the service of hate. I feel quite safe in concluding that if there is any God out there to follow, I wouldn't be turning my back on him by turning my back on the theology you've given us here.

Is the child still in pain? GOD's answer was no to that mother. HE had far more perfect plan regarding that child.

That is exactly what I said you would say! Congrats on spouting the party line....

(I guess Gods plan included concrete slowly crushing the life out of children.)

A Christian can very often tell by looking back over his own life. They can tell the difference. Non-believers are often like Pharoah, they don't get it no matter how many plagues GOD's sends.
Read your Bible, God hardened Pharaohs heart to prevent him from "getting it".

O.K., so if a Christian's prayers aren't answered, is that evidence that the God he's praying to doesn't exist?

The more LittleNipper posts, the further I'm driven from worshipping his God.

So let me get this, your evidence that God exists is that He answers prayers, but there is no way to tell when He answers prayers, and when He does, it looks the exact same as if He didn't. Is that right? Is that the quality of all your evidence?

Hey Little Nipper, think of it from the perspective of God. Wouldn't a loving Heavenly Father consider us all equally his children? I mean, why would he answer my prayer over your prayer, he loves us both. Why would he treat us any differently. We both believe in him and we both try to follow his commandments. What if we are both right? I mean, granted we disagree on some issues. But if we both believe in God and we both believe in the Bible, doesn't that mean we're both right? Can't we just be friends and try to live Christ's Gospel the best we know how?

Now I have a question for you. Why does the Book of Mormon exist?

Because Joseph Smith made it up.

Agreed

Seems that way to me.
But perhaps he forgot something....?

I'm not selling religion. You need to have a relationship with GOD.

Satan is presently still the Cherub in charge over this world. And well do as GOD allows him sway.

How about the missionary who was rescued by her husband unhurt. You worry so much about the poor children and yet I bet you think abortion as a matter of convenience is alright...
