What about those folks who no doubt prayed as fervently as you did and still died from cancer? Did He ignore them?

Without faith then there is no chance at all, thus if one keeps the faith and prays then at least one has a chance of receiving a miracle.

And I am not the only person in my family to have received miracles, an uncle of mine was in a coma from an auto accident, he was not expected to live, then as my Sister was standing at his bedside with a Nun reading Psalms he came out of the coma, it was a miracle. So, God gives miracles to other people, along with giving miracles to me. My uncle ended up dedicating his life to helping former drug addicts at a treatment center in Lancaster.

If you keep the faith and pray, then God will hear your prayers, and miracles are possible.

Salute,

Tony V.

So God picks and chooses the miracles HE dispenses?

The causes of miracles are hardly unique to God.

Jesus is a fairy tale and god has no way of actually hearing your prayers. You are damned to earth and being a fucktard, but not for much longer. Soon you will be food for something else.

The writings of history disagree with you.

Facilatorn is proof that Jesus exists if only to guarantee a need for the ignore button.

Do not need one. But you need something to explain Christianity and its relationship to miracles.
God promises eternal life to those believe in him.
Earthly deaths are only a precursor  to eternal life as God sees it.

Okay. Does not answer my last question, does God pick and choose the miracles he dispenses?, but if you believe in miracles then I have no reason to argue with you. I understand the meaning of faith.

No. In our Christian belief GOD promises believers in him ETERNAL LIFE of which earthly life is a small portion thereof. He also promises peace through Jesus which  also supplies all the tools to lead a successful life on earth.
The only true miracle Christians celebrate is Easter.

Don't know, I have no secret insight, or knowledge.

I do know that it's a miracle mrs bambu said 'yes' when I asked her (age 18) to marry me...and having said yes then convinced her parents to let her do so...both signing the special legal permission forms.
Divine providence it was, for sure and certain. Nothing will ever convince me otherwise.

In NRL footy, when you score a 'try'(touchdown), worth 4 points...you then get a chance to add another 2 points by placing the ball on a tee and kicking it between the goal posts and over the crossbar.

If the try was scored 2 yards in from the sideline, then the kick must be taken from out there, taken back up the field to a point where the angle is best.
As the player prepares to kick...some fans can be heard praying:
"Hail Mary full of grace,
put the ball in the right place"


Their prayer is not always answered.

The Sub Machine Shop in Lancaster has the best pastrami sandwiches in Lancaster, and my favorite sandwich there is the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre Sandwich.

https://submachinelancaster.net/

And Crazy Otto's has great Biscuits and Gravy.

In Anaheim I am walking distance from the original Carl's Jr, I love Carl's Jr, and the Super Star with Cheese is fantastic. And I can eat my burger in La Palma Park. It is great.

And Northgate Market has Mexican Sandwiches that are fantastic, 4 for $10. Ham and Mexican Cheese Tortas on fresh baked bread.

Bambu, Bakersfield grows lots of great stuff that we can send to Australia, we need to send ships full of goods from California to Australia. We need to do world trade.

And God will send me a wife, I pray, maybe like Mahlagha Jaberi or Marli Buccola or Electra Mustaine, or Sophia Stallone, or someone great. I used to really have a crush on Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco. We will see who God sends for me.

Salute,

Tony V.

In your Christian belief, god has damned you to hell for being as unchristian a monster as you have the courage to be. You could repent and embrace peace and love over fascism thereby saving yourself but you will not. You are already food for a whole host of feces eating organisms. A dictionary would do your dumb ass not an ounce of good.

I will pray for you though praying for you has not done any good so far.

Thought you said Jesus was a fantasy.

Anyway, ye olde "peace and love".
Didn't work for NYC ...they blew it up with hijacked planes.
And it didn't work for Christians in the Middle East, they were burnt alive in bread ovens by you know who.
Things have been a bit better since bin Laden's demise, but not much.
Now they're coming for the Jews worldwide, ...atrocity-invaded Israel, and are spreading massive anti-semitism everywhere, with very little or no serious censure.
Oh, and your left/far left hero PM Albo has been exposed by Sky News on tape with sound...attending pro-Palestine, anti-Israel protests, in 2000 etc where flags of Israel were burned...he allegedly spoke at some.
He's aged 61 now.
