Crazy Little Thing Called Prayer

Vic, my Friend,

 

You tell us, "Prayers are always heard, maybe not as timely as we want, maybe not even

in this life."

 

Prayer is the believer's direct connection to God, a 24/7/365 connection which will never be dropped.  You might compare prayer as "calling home to our Father" -- and He always answers His calls.

 

But, you confuse me when you say that prayers could be answered "maybe not even

in this life."

 

When the believer dies -- we go straight home to be with our Lord.  So, why would we need to send a prayer/call to Him -- when we are standing in His presence?

 

The time to be "calling the Father" in prayer is now -- in this life.  For, if we do not connect with Him in this life -- there is no way He will take our calls after we leave this life.   A person, through his/her God-given gift of "free will" -- MUST choose to follow Christ or to deny Christ IN THIS LIFE.

 

Once you breathe that last breath in this body -- your eternal fate is sealed: believe or deny, heaven or hell.

 

So, my Friend, you really should start making direct calls to Him now.  Forget praying to the priest or to Mary -- and get things settled directly with Him while you are still living in this mortal body.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

Vic, you shouldn't waste your time or your words on Bill. He is a pitiful old man with mental issues & a serious case of NPD. Except for 2-3 people on this forum, the majority knows what he is all about.

Vic, my Friend,

 

Please show us where - in the Bible - we are told to pray AFTER we die.  Your church may tell you that -- but, the Bible does not.

 

Hebrews 9:27,  "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment." 

This Scripture verse tells us we die once -- and then comes judgment:  heaven or hell.  Nothing in there about praying once we pass through the door of mortal death.

 

That is MY support, from the Bible.

 

What is YOUR support for believing a person can pray AFTER death?

 

Yes, we know -- since you have nothing Biblical to base your claim upon -- you will just start with catty comments and name calling.  In which catechism class did you learn that?

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

 

Another misinterpretation of someone's writing by Bill DHL™.  It's no wonder he is so confused about .... everything.

How in his vacuous skull did he ever read that into Vic's posting????  Surely they have professionals in California to deal with altzheimers?

 

_______

The same way he reads what he does into any of our postings. It's not Alzheimer's, the man is an idiot!

That and the fact that billiee will never miss a chance to lie and misled all

who will see his filth even at the expense of those of Heaven themselves.

Evil is as evil does.  

 

 

Hi all,

 

Now that we have heard from the "cheap seats" - i.e., "atheists' row" -- let's take a look at what was really written:

 

Vic wrote:

And, I replied:

Will someone who does not have an anti-Christian, anti-God, anti-Bible chip on his/her shoulder please tell me where I misconstrued or falsely read Vic's intention.   Appreciate your help.

 

Bless their misguided little hearts!

 

Bill

billiee, he say...........

But, you confuse me when you say that prayers could be answered

"maybe not even in this life."

 

You have a right to be confused billiee,

for you know not what you say

 

billiee, he say again something

If I had as low of an opinion of the people on this forum as does billiee,

I should really wonder why I was wasting my time with you misguided

misfits. If you dislike so many here, then you must gain some type of

cruel and sadistic pleasure by tormenting the initiative from those that

just want to be left alone and discuss thoughts with like minded peers.

 

You aren't capable of doing anything near that.

 

Dove, my Friend,

 

BUT, WHEN did you send your prayers to God?   Obviously you did it while you were still alive -- for after that, you could not.

 

If you will notice, Vic did not say that his long ago prayers would be ANSWERED after his death:

 

"Prayers are always heard, maybe not as timely as we want, maybe not even in this life."

 

Vic clearly wrote that his prayers would be HEARD after his death.   Is God hard of hearing -- that He will not hear our prayers until His hearing aid is fixed?

 

No, my Friend, Vic clearly stated that his prayers to God would be heard, as in "I am speaking, you are hearing" -- after his death.  And, that is NOT BIBLICAL -- for him or for you.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

 

Dove, my Friend,

 

So, since you obviously have no reasonable answer -- you pull a Vic and continue your ranting and tantrum.    Okay, no problem.  I have dealt with spoiled children before and will just allow you to roll on the floor until your tantrum subsides.

 

Bless your childish little heart!

Actually, there aren't that many of you in the Malcontent Cabal.  There's you and another Roman Catholic wannabe, a couple of legalistic theology proponents, an agnostic, a few atheists, and a small handful of just vanilla-flavored non-believers.   So, I would say that I can count the full Malcontent Cabal on my fingers.

 

On the other hand, there are literally hundreds or thousands of good Shoals folks who come on the TimesDaily Forums just to read.   So, you and your Malcontent Cabal gang are really just a small drop in the bucket, actually more of a drip into the bucket -- compared to the readership of this forum.

 

In writing on the forum, I have to view it like walking through the barnyard -- even when careful, I will occasionally step in it.   When I do (encounter one of you), I just wipe my shoes and keep walking and writing for the vast majority of good Shoals folks who do not meet in the dark hidden room with your Malcontent Cabal gang.

 

Bless your little Malcontent hearts!

 

Bill

bahahahahaha! he writes for the 'thousands' who read his articles.. come on people. it's not just you 'vanilla flavored christian and non-christians'.. he writes for his people! bahahahahaha!

Crash, my Friend,

 

As usual, when you atheists have nothing truthful to say -- you will make up something just to hear your mouth moving. 

 

What I wrote is:

It is so sad that the atheists and other non-believers HAVE to make up things.  But, I suppose that being an atheist -- you have no concept of real truth.  So, you spread non-truths.  It is so sad to see you and your Malcontent Cabal friends living in such darkness.

 

Bless your dark little hearts!

The old fool says he comes here for those that just read. He really thinks they don't see what a judgmental ole fool he is that's doing the work of his Master. That's why he makes up all those others ID's. He wants us to think there's people on here that believe him. I know of two on this forum that believe him but they've been here for a long time & they believe OSAS too.

Hi all,

 

My dear Friend, Chick, is funny!   She is like the person who absolutely refuses to see the movie or read the book -- but, she can rant on for hours about how bad it is and how many mistakes are in it.

 

Since she refuses to see the movie, or read the book, or read my posts -- how does she know they are bad?   Because her mind is so full of darkness -- she believes that darkness spreads to all who do not agree with her.

 

It is so sad to see a semi-intelligent person who hides her head so deeply in the sands of darkness -- yet, even with her head buried so deeply -- she still rants, raves, fumes, and fusses.  

 

Truly sad to see a person so wrapped in darkness -- that she can surround herself with nothing else.

 

Chick, my Friend, I sincerely pray that one day someone will be able to penetrate your shield of darkness -- and show you the Light of Jesus Christ.  With all my heart, I would love to fellowship with you in heaven one day.

 

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

 

Bill

 

This is so, so sad. So very sad........

I caught the gist of your statement Vic.....  

_______________________

you wrote it.. i don't blame you, i'd try to crayfish out of it , if i'd have said it, too. bahahahaha... the thing that is truly sad is you truly believe your own crazy logic.. i may tease the republicans about 'living in bizarro world', but you're about two steps away from being the next 'david koresh' or 'jim jones'.

Crash, my Friend,

 

While I realize that atheism can seriously dull and darken one's mind and thoughts, I was sure that you still have the ability to read.   Let's try this one more time.  This is what I wrote and you have highlighted:

 

On the other hand, there are literally hundreds or thousands of good Shoals folks who come on the TimesDaily Forums just to read.   So, you and your Malcontent Cabal gang are really just a small drop in the bucket, actually more of a drip into the bucket -- compared to the readership of this forum.

Where do YOU read that I have written that thousands come here to read MY WRITINGS?  I wrote, as you have highlighted: 

 

On the other hand, there are literally hundreds or thousands of good Shoals folks who come on the TimesDaily Forums just to read.

 

Where is that not true?  Do YOU doubt that the TimesDaily Forums have thousands of folks who come here daily to read?  The last time I checked there were over 12,000 registered members.  And, you know that if there are that many registered members -- there must me, at least, twice that many who come here just to read.

 

I will admit that I have written before that those readers are my target audience; but I have NEVER written that they come here to read my posts.

 

Look at the example I gave you in my discussion about Return On Investment.  That afternoon, there were 819 VISITORS and only 8 Members logged in.   Would that not support that many more come just to read -- than to post.  For those 819 are not registered members.

 

So, once again, let me ask you:  WHY DO YOU MAKE UP THINGS which are not true?

 

Bless your little atheist heart!

 

Bill

 

 

_______

My guess would be one step.

in order for bill's statement to be true, every single person who visits the forums would have to come to ready his posts... now, who believes that? besides bill?  i can personally account for probably 100 'registered' names on these forums... me personally!!! i know SEVERAL others who can make the same claim... at one time, getting banned from these forums was as simple as making a comment in a thread the mods didn't like. as i said.. viewing bill's 'logic' makes me wonder just how long it'll be before he starts his own 'church' packed full of his Philippine followers.

"packed"????????

 

 

They probably only tolerate him because of Dory.

I feel so sorry for Dory. She's married to an idiot!

No need to feel sorry for Dory, she's playing the idiot for the idiot he is.

I bet he hasn't seen her for five or six years.

It's true that some prayers are answered after death.
I figured out what Vic was saying because I used some reason/logic, common sense.
I think most everyone else understood.
