If I was god I would want ear plugs sometimes...

Take a small piece of the earth near the Middle Terran sea.

Muslim praying before battle... God grant me the ability of defeating and destroying my enemy Israel.

Jew praying before battle... God grant me the ability of defeating and destroying my enemy Islam.

QUESTION:

If you have two sons... and they are fighting...

What do you do?

Punish them both?

or take sides?

You punish them both according to their "crimes".
You only take sides if one is 100% righteous.

Look at Israel, they have been punished severely according to the "oft quoted book"... (which they themselves wrote)

Read the prophets if you doubt...

God would place them both on the cross

God would do nothing. For what they are praying for goes against his will and his laws he has set out before us. We have been instructed to love one another and turn the other cheek. Waring is quite the opposite of this.

james 5:16(New International Version, ©2010) Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

the righteous person should be heard. i guess that leaves the question of which son is righteous

If you are God...you drown them in a flood and make new sons ..

You explanitation fits not...

One party mentioned above follows the prophet Mohammad.

The other party mention follows the prophets of the Torah.

Neither party accepts your image of god.

Therefore you would be pissing in the wind in any attempt you made to ease that situation.

Neither is 'righteous'...

Now what?

Perhaps you simply use their own methods.

and throw god sized rocks at them.

that would be included in the flood ...it's hard as hell (no pun intended) to swim out of the way when a 40 stories tall pyramid is rapiding towards you

Well to answer the question you posed, he'd do nothing - the same as he always does. What makes you think he'd answer those prayers any different from "can you help me win the lottery?"


Now, you say you'd want earplugs sometimes? Don't you mean at all time? 6.5 billion people all asking you for trivial stuff that, for the most part, they can take care of themselves with a little effort. All of them feeling that their ideas are important. All believing their personal view of religion is correct. I think I'd of built a sound-proof room years ago. If you want to really do some work for your god then try just saying "I'll take care of it."

amen, a prayer of a RIGHTEOUS person. Prayer that has anything to do with war except to stop it is not righteous. "Hey God, let us beat the crap out of this country" is not righteous. God has already told us how to be righteous and that includes turning the other cheek.

you really haven't read a real bible then. this is exactly what he likes per the Tenach and the quran..in both books he commands his people to kill unbelievers.

Yes I have, and those laws have been fulfilled with Jesus. We are no longer to judge anyone. It is no longer our place to carry out a judgment. The word is who/what judges us, the word has been made flesh. So it no longer needs us to carry out the judgment. Jesus is the word in flesh and is whom will judge us come judgment time.

Wow, if I were God, I'd just let them do their own thing and just see what happens. I mean, what's the point of creating people, giving them free will, but then punishing them because of it????


Makes no sense and incredibly boring.

If he is going to interfere so profoundly in the lives of his creations, then faith truly has no meaning. Just more examples of the little people that we are, completely missing the point of the word.

So when you have children, you won't give them boundaries, rules, and consequences? You'll just let them run around doing anything they wish?

Forgive me if I sound as though I am judging

or condemning you,

but it seems that you are either taunting Christianity

or you are trying to get in-depth answers

to elementary questions.

Making light of a very heavy subject.

Personally I think many of you are searching to see if God's Word

is true...and others are too proud to admit

that you just can't comprehend

Almighty God's message to man.

It is obvious that you have never been exposed

to bible teachings neither do you allow yourself to hear

with the intent of understanding.


Rather than humble yourselves to proper teachings

you choose to play cat and mouse

with those who may be able to enlighten you

with the complete gospel message.

While it is a fact that

many of whom you choose to play the games with are Believers

who may not know

how to explain enough of the message to satisfy your

ignorance, or rather your hunger... even so,

you are hiding the fact that you are clueless

from beginning to end.

You want to chew them up and spit them out.

**************
You'd be wise to:

Get your teeth out of the way.

You may find that the WORD

is easy to swallow.



**************

You just don't get it do you...

According to the Quran (the book a follower of Islam holds as gods word) only ALLAH judges. (which I happen to agree with, Allah being GOD in the language of that book)...

A muslim would discount your belief out of hand... It does not fit with their teachings... you would be wasting your time with this message...

Ah but AFTER Jesus came Mohammad... and his message was also from god...

and after Mohammad came others... Their message was also from god.

Yet each messenger warns that another comes... and each faith that springs forth from each messenger turns away from the next messenger..

I am quite familiar with the bible. I am also familiar with other messages that come from god...

So I need not your condesending attitude...

I do not reject your book... I have seen beyond it.

"Well to answer the question you posed, he'd do nothing - the same as he always does. What makes you think he'd answer those prayers any different from "can you help me win the lottery?" "

Good question...

He would not answer the prayer of the war seekers... However with those prayers come MILLIONS of prayers from the Mothers and sisters of those warriors...

asking for an end to the death and hate...
