An Insane God Simply look at the world we live in. All around us we have murderers, rapists, robbers, child molesters, terrorists, etc... How do they do their deeds? If God is all-knowing and God answers prayers, then we have to believe that: God watches them as they murder, rape...

Reviewing the evidence about prayer At the beginning of this section, we looked to the Bible and found that Jesus makes a number of specific and remarkable promises having to do with prayer. For example, in Matthew 7:7 Jesus says: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find...

"It was the most amazing flood in the history of Honduras. An immense wall of mud cascaded down the mountain and through our city, killing 20,000 people. I was caught in the tide of sludge and sucked deep into the bowels of the torrent. In just a few seconds I would drown and die in a sea of...

It seems to me that i have posted nothing but common sense. If you have the courage to actually read it and think it through you can come to no other conclusion unless you give up your ability to reason and simply allow your emotions to guide you. Maybe another lesson will help you with your...

Now spin the wheel. How many of these 38 prayerful people will win? One. That is how the world works. It does not matter what Jesus promises in the Bible. It does not matter how much the 38 people believe. It does not matter how big or powerful their prayer circles are. No matter how much...

Who gets to go to the prom? Jesus makes an extremely clear statement about prayer in Mark 11:24: Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Nothing could be simpler than that. All that you have to do is say a prayer...

Maybe you could document with peer reviewed evidence that a woman leg got longer in your prayer meeting. If anyone could document a prayer working in front of a camera they would single handedly bring more people to worship God than all of the empty words all of the tv preachers spew out. I...

This is not true at all. I am sure most unbelievers would gladly serve God if there were any evidence that he exists and would\could act in our time of need. There is something deep in man that makes him long for a higher power to act if or when he has a dire need. Hence man created God in his mind.

God's plan One of the things running through your head right now may be "God's plan." This is the way that believers traditionally explain things like cancer, hurricanes and car accidents. For example, when God ignored the prayers of Neva Rogers and allowed the Red Lake gunman to shoot...

Why do bad things happen to good people? "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?" It is an incredibly common question. This question is so common, in fact, that there is a well known book by that title written by Melvin Tinker. There is another, even better known book entitled, When...

Of course this presumes that Bible God exists. If as the evidence shows, it is all superstition there will be no questions asked. On the other hand if God exists despite a total lack of evidence i will ask him why he hid himself and even manufactured evidence to make it look like he does not...

How do you use these funds. Do you somehow base your investment decisions on what these funds do or have done with that stock?

Actually i think God is a product of primitive mans imagination. God of the bible seems to be modeled after the cruel viscous kings that used to rule in the time the bible was written. Why do you think God has never regenerated a limb?

There is the "God must remain hidden" argument. But, as mentioned in chapters 5 and 6, a hidden God would never incarnate himself, or publish a Bible, or part the Red Sea, or put rainbows in the clouds, so obviously God has no need or desire to hide.

Divine inspiration Key Point In Matthew 17:20 Jesus promises that you can move mountains and that "nothing will be impossible for you." Unfortunately, the reality is that no one can move mountains, and thousands of things will be impossible for you. Not even Jesus could move a mountain...

Why can't you move mountains? Many people believe that God reaches down onto earth on a regular basis to answer prayers. People talk about their answered prayers all the time. Inspirational books and magazines document thousands of answered prayers. In chapter 5, however, we learned...

This is a very ignorant, hurtful and judgmental statement. You are putting the blame for the failure of prayer on the injured. Are you saying that ALL of the iraq vets who have lost limbs would rather have the insurance money that have their limbs back? The whole point of this exercise is to...

We do not know what Jesus might have preached. Jesus never wrote anything down and the oldest fragment of a book of the New testament that we have is the size of a post it note and was written about 120 years after Jesus was killed: http://www.kchanson.com/ANCDOCS/greek/johnpap.html

Can you prove to me that Santa Claus does not exist? By your logic there is a 50-50 chance he does.

Revisiting Jeanna What about the miracle of Jeanna Giese discussed in Chapter 5? Didn't God interact with her body and miraculously cure her rabies because of her gigantic prayer circle? How did that work? It worked because, if Jeanna had died, the story of her prayer circle never would have...
