christians are quick to say that jesus says that by his stripes they are healed but they are quick to go to the hospitals when they get sick why not stay at home without going to hospital and taking drugs and pray only to jesus for healing since it is writing in the bible that they are healed by the stripes of jesus?. . . . . i hope her mum gets good treatment and get better. . . . .
thou pathetic atheist. . . .as far as u are concerned u have probably said something intelligent, right?

YES, by His stripes we are healed. Jesus is not an alternative to medicine, medicine is a tool in HIS hands. when a situation defies medical knowledge HE sure steps in, if and when called upon.

platinumnk:

thanks you guys, my mom is really going through a lot cry

some times our prayers don't get answered like we want, there could be a million reason for that.
but whatever the reason, it is said somewhere in His word. Other times, it is because we don't know how to pray as we should or what to ask for.

However in this case, I recommend that u go into a praying and thanks giving mood for 3 days.
you have just 2 prayer points, they are :
a). Forgiveness and abstinence from sin.
b). Holy Spirit pray for me and my mum.

that He hasn't healed ur mum does not mean He is still not the Master Healer. When the Holy Spirit prays for u, He prays directly against the source of the problem (which could be sin, spiritual attack or whatever), cos He searches and sees all things.

I believe u will have ur testimony sooner than u think.

Arghh. Stupid unreliable MTN network signals interrupted my monologue. Now I've lost my mojo. I think it's without logic to think that God exists. But it's without even more logic to disbelieve in God.



Anyways I've decided that u're too cool to remain a figment of my imagination, Mad_Max.
talktoluigi@gmail.com. Indulge me. Pretty please with sugar on top. This's clandestine enough. I'm waiting. I have so much to ask you! About love & stuff.

grin grin you deluded goon what have you said that has made sense? by his stripes you are healed yet christians spend billions annually buying drugs, doing surgery and seeking medication for their ailments? why not carry the bible and read the verses that says by his stripes you are healed all day long when you guys fall sick? if you are truly healed by his stripes why do you go to hospitals and take man made drugs to cure you from your illness? by his stripes you are healed indeed deluded goon. . . . . grin grin

jesus says all you need is to have faith and ALL you ask he will give you, that is the only condition in the bible, all you need is to have faith any other thing you say is your own opinion because it is not found any where in the bible.

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I go to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if you ask anything in my name, I will do it" John 14 vs 12-14

For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20

Matthew 21:21:

I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.

this is what the bible says and the only condition is belief if you believe the bible says anything you ask in prayers it will be giving to you. but is that the reality that we see?

but whatever the reason, it is said somewhere in His word. Other times, it is because we don't know how to pray as we should or what to ask for.

all this meaningless apologetics the bible says that all you need is to believe and you will get ANYTHING that you ask for if only you believe. . . . . .

However in this case, I recommend that u go into a praying and thanks giving mood for 3 days.

a). Forgiveness and abstinence from sin.
b). Holy Spirit pray for me and my mum.

millions have done this nonsense that you typed here which by the way is not even in the bible but they still ended up dead. . . . the bible says that people should call unto the church elders when they are sick to pray for them and they will get their healing. . . back in 2002 i drove a friends father to the church and the pastor and church elders did as it was written in the bible only for the guy to die the next day. . . .i know people that went to revivals came back got prayed for by pastors, bishops etc but only to die shortly afterwards. . . . .


that He hasn't healed ur mum does not mean He is still not the Master Healer. When the Holy Spirit prays for u, He prays directly against the source of the problem (which could be sin, spiritual attack or whatever), cos He searches and sees all things.

this are just you meaningless and nonsense apologetics nothing like this is written in the bible. . . in what part of the bible does it say that the holy spirit prays for people? grin grin you are a complete lunatic. . . .how can can the biblegod be the master healer when he does not even heal the people that call on his name day and night? i believe that you know pastor robinson of the 700 club, he claims to be a faith healer by telling people to touch their television set or the part of their body that is sick while he prays for them for healing but when he had prostrate cancer he didn't pray for healing but rushed to the hospital for surgery why didn't he call unto jesus name for healing or recite the bible verses that says that by his stripes he is healed? delude goons. . . chris oyahkilome's wife despite all his miracle healing and what not took his wife to the hospital when she was sick, yet we still have deluded goons going to him for prayers and healing. . . . .

I believe u will have ur testimony sooner than u think.

if her mum goes to the hospital and gets proper medication and treatment she will have a testimony very soon but if she stays at home and does all the nonsense you typed about praying and thanks giving for 3 days and calling the holy ghost abi na holy wizard to pray for her or come to her aide, her condition will only get worse. deluded goon. . . . .
