An 11-year-old girl died after her parents prayed for healing rather than seek medical help for a treatable form of diabetes

This is exactely what hapen to Nigeria. Nigeria is dying and christians are praying for the healing of Nigeria rather than seek to help themselves and their country. Nigerians hold on to religion, like a crutch because they can't make it any other way. With religion they stop being responsible for their own actions and blame someone else like God when it's something they like and the Devil when it's something they don't like.

Tudor, you're getting too heated up, dramatic, insulting. RELAX.


You keep going round and round. How many seconds does it take to repent?
Why should god refuse to answer prayers immediately after repentance?
If i repent now why shouldn't my prayers be answered until after months- how stupid is that?

Because there's such a thing as spiritual growth. If all Christians were on the same level spiritually then we wouldn't need to go to Church and sit and listen to pastors preach to us. Did you notice when Jesus said:
Matthew 17:21
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

In other words, the Christian that commits himself to regular prayer and fasting would be at an advanced level when compared to the Christian who just goes to Church and comes back home and doesn't have any time for his personal spiritual growth. Do you expect someone who just became born again to raise the dead? Definitely not. He'd still have growth to do.


Why must the family be hiding something?
Why cant it be your god who is incompetent and wicked?
I never said the family was hiding something. I was just saying it's possible.


Classic christian apologist crap!
The bible is just a literature like any other story book. Deceiving yourself into believing that you read it on another realm is delusion at it's finest!
The fact that you don't believe in the Bible doesn't mean that those who do are deluded. No.


Really? All you've been doing is peddling lies and making sick excuses for the redundancy of your god.
Your yardstick for measuring lies as far as religion is concerned is your own belief. Hardly reliable.


It's either you're a liar or you cannot read.
Where did i imply that angels should appear to the parents on their own. My original question was why couldn't GOD  do something to warn them or SEND angels to tell them to go to the clinic since he won't answer their prayers instead of letting them believe he was listening in effect leaving the poor girl to die. Afterall an angel appeared to joseph in the dream and told him to flee to egypt because of herod wanted to kill baby jesus aka god. . . .it only shows god is selfish and would gladly send angels to save his own ass but can't spare just one of the billions he has to go warn the parents of this little girl.
Here's my point - assuming they had sin in them, then they wouldn't qualify for the ministry of angels. The first verse I quoted said that angels associate with people who fear God. The second one said that angels listen to the voice of the word of God. The third one showed us that angels are servants of God, just like Christians are on earth.  Now, fear of God and the word of God are two things that can hardly be found in a sinner. So when the conditions of their master aren't met, angels can't move an inch. As per Joseph, the Bible clearly states in Matthew 1:19 that Joseph was a just man.


you only stated it's a possibility, so what?
You in essence attributed the death of the girl to the parents when clearly god is to blame
There's a difference between saying something is possible and saying that it's true.


What are you blabbing?
Their faith is pretty glaring!
Only someone with faith as big as a mountain would deny a beloved child treatment for years believing god for a miracle. The could simply have gone to the hospital but they chose not to. The girl kept getting worse and worse yet they did not waver, even after her death they still believe she can be raised from the dead.
Then You now open to spew crap about them not having faith- what a joke!

with their mountain size faith nothing happened yet jesus said you need only a mustard seed amount- what a liar and crook that jesus was!
Faith is not just in action. Faith is from the inside. In fact, it is faith that produces the actions. You see, some people copy actions, without having the faith behind it. So when you just do things without the faith on the inside, then you might as well not do anything. I AM NOT SAYING THAT IS THE CASE WITH THIS FAMILY!.

Have you ever considered that maybe Jesus' reference to the mustard seed wasn't physical? It wasn't in terms of size? Please try and think along that line. Maybe it was in reference to what comes out of a mustard seed. Faith can't be quantified physically, so it's not possible that Jesus meant it physically.


You are a deluded christian drunk with the fallacies and lies of jesus-i don't expect much from you than the usual pathetic excuses you make for your wicked god.
I wonder what I did to deserve such insults. Also, if it makes any difference to you, you should know that I don't drink.

Tudor, you're getting too heated up, dramatic, insulting. RELAX.
It's usually the norm with christians that when the truth about their wicked god is exposed they label it as insults. . .a deluded man hardly knows he's deluded.
Because there's such a thing as spiritual growth.If all Christians were on the same level spiritually then we wouldn't need to go to Church and sit and listen to pastors preach to us.[/b]Did you notice when Jesus said:

Again this sounds absolutely lame. That family had been praying to god for YEARS and it's stated that they had a bible study group where they studied the word of god regularly. "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word" - the parents obviously heard the word regularly and i'm sure that pretty much gave them the confidence and faith to deny the little child treatment- but yet again god proved that he's no powerful than an earthworm.
Do you expect someone who just became born again to raise the dead? Definitely not.He'd still have growth to do.
And why not?
Jesus said all you need is to have faith and you'll move mountains. This "spiritual growth" crap is just an excuse given for the inability of christians to perform miracles.
I never said the family was hiding something. I was just saying it's possible.
Is it also possible that your god is ineffective and powerless?
The fact that you don't believe in the Bible doesn't mean that those who do are deluded. No.
Delusion is absolute belief inspite of no evidence. There's no evidence for all the miraculous claims in the bible from creation to the noah's flood, right to the miracles and resurrection of jesus. NO EVIDENCE.
Belief in such is DELUSION.
Your yardstick for measuring lies as far as religion is concerned is your own belief. Hardly reliable.
My yardstick is REALITY and it's pretty reliable.
Christians aren't raising the dead like jesus promised, how many serpents have you picked up and not been bitten, when last did you walk on water or turn it into wine - all these are some of the ridiculous promises of the lying jesus yet reality puts a hole in all this.
Here's my point - assuming they had sin in them, then they wouldn't qualify for the ministry of angels. The first verse I quoted said that angels associate with people who fear God. The second one said that angels listen to the voice of the word of God. The third one showed us that angels are servants of God, just like Christians are on earth.  Now, fear of God and the word of God are two things that can hardly be found in a sinner. So when the conditions of their master aren't met, angels can't move an inch.
To excuse the laziness of your god you resort to assuming the family has sin- ha!
This whole mumbo jumbo about the angels appearing to children of god is rubbish.
Angels appeared to Balaam, esau and laban yet all these people were not in good terms with the lord. An angel even appeared to Hagar the egyptian slave of abraham in the desert- so stop lying for jesus.
God in his wickedness could not send one to go warn this parents, such ministrations shouldn't even take 1 second yet god is still so selfish.
As per Joseph, the Bible clearly states in Matthew 1:19 that Joseph was a just man.
Last time i checked the parents of this little child are men and not elves.
There's a difference between saying something is possible and saying that it's true.
Saying something is a possibility gives you a fail safe option you can always fall back on- how lazy is that?
Faith is not just in action. Faith is from the inside. In fact, it is faith that produces the actions. You see, some people copy actions, without having the faith behind it. So when you just do things without the faith on the inside, then you might as well not do anything. I AM NOT SAYING THAT IS THE CASE WITH THIS FAMILY!.
The family's action signify faith.Faith is your action i.e take a step of faith- stop lying!
I've been in a faith ministry church for decades at least i grabbed that point.
By the action of this family it shows they have faith. If they didn't they would take the kid to a hospital afterall it's cheap. Nobody gambles with the life of their child without believing wholly in their course of action.
Have you ever considered that maybe Jesus' reference to the mustard seed wasn't physical? It wasn't in terms of size? Please try and think along that line. Maybe it was in reference to what comes out of a mustard seed. Faith can't be quantified physically, so it's not possible that Jesus meant it physically.
What does this have to do with anything?
You measure your faith by the actions and by the actions of this family they had mountain size faith.
I wonder what I did to deserve such insults.Also, if it makes any difference to you,you should know that I don't drink.
I didn't insult you, i spoke the truth. And yes you are drunk- drunk with the lies of jesus.

Tudor, that statement doesn't involve God in anyway. It's a direct insult at me. Or has the meaning of insult changed?


Delusion is absolute belief inspite of no evidence. There's no evidence for all the miraculous claims in the bible from creation to the noah's flood, right to the miracles and resurrection of jesus. NO EVIDENCE.
People have experiences with God everyday. Me inclusive. The fact that you don't believe or you've never had one doesn't mean it's all untrue. Also, if deluded drunk isn't an insult, then I wonder what is.

I rest my case.

Have you no shame?
Do you now lack dignity and self respect that you now allude rich_john's post to me.
You're desperately looking for insults to pin on me and i'm not suprised. . . .i'm disappointed that yet again another so-called born again christian would lie repeatedly for jesus. . .

People have experiences with God everyday. Me inclusive. The fact that you don't believe or you've never had one doesn't mean it's all untrue.
The experience is always in the head of these people. We never see any evidence or physical manifestation- if that doesn't scream madness then i don't know what is.
If it cannot be proven i.e no evidence for such then it's pure delusion.
Also, if deluded drunk isn't an insult, then I wonder what is.

I rest my case.
Your delusion has been shown to be the truth so also is your drunkeness with the absolute hogwash said by jesus.- this isn't insult but the truth.

Afterall your bible calls atheist fools while jesus famously labelled the pharisees as hypocrite and fools- tell me, why are you crying?
